Villa-Tech Deploys Leading Edge ADARA Technologies

Working with Villa-Tech, ADARA has won in head-to-head competition over Cisco, Juniper, and Arista in several large enterprises based on the following advanced SDN technologies:

ADARA CloudFabric Cloud Management Platform, Integrated with OpenStack

The industry's only true zero-touch, fully automated cloud management platform, the ADARA CloudFabric Cloud Management Platform enables automated bare metal server discovery, attachment and provisioning, auto-discovery and auto-configuration of ADARA Axis Cloud Switches, and auto-configuration of any topology. ADARA CloudFabric is the only solution on the market that enables auto-VM migration and concurrent auto-provisioning of both the overlay (virtual) network and the underlay (physical network) based on real-time ADARA DLSP computed network state and performance.

ADARA Axis Switch

ADARA DLSP enables ADARA's Axis Switch with unique features, functionality, and performance no other software or hardware vendor in the industry can match. DLSP enables real- time SLA-based, intelligent, fully automated networking. ADARA Axis supports multiple merchant silicon platforms, is hybrid capable, features Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) on the switch, OpenFlow 1.3 and VxLAN and MPLS tunneling at line rate in both Trident 2 and Tomahawk; 10/25/40/100 GbE. With ultra-low latency mode, it is the industry's leading cloud switch. The ADARA Axis Switch enables organizations to quickly and easily scale their cloud environments. Multipath scaling with ADARA DLSP Cloud Data Center Multipath delivers 16,000 concurrent paths versus the 16 paths available from other vendors due to limitations of legacy technology (Shortest Path Bridging limited to a maximum of 16-way multipath).

ADARA Sky Controller

The ADARA Sky controller is a scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed SDN (Open Flow) controller. The ADARA Sky controller enables individual virtual and physical port modification, auto-recognition of switch status, auto-generation of OpenFlow rules based on real-time ADARA DLSP computed path latency, path utilization, bandwidth, path quality, and more metrics. The controller is 100% programmable through defined RESTful APIs.
