MENLO PARK, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/24/13 — , a leading provider of open, converged networking and software solutions and charter member of the Open Networking Foundation, today announced that it has entered into a technology partner agreement with Splunk Inc. to provide enhanced monitoring and analytics of enterprise network performance through Splunk® Enterprise. Vello Systems will demo the integration at , the fourth annual Splunk Worldwide Users- Conference.
The VellOS 7.0 network operating system is the central piece of Vello-s Open Networking Platform, a software-defined programmable application platform that enables the network to act as a dynamic pool of resources for ever-changing application requirements. FarSight by Vello is a template for Splunk Enterprise written to VellOS. In this collaboration, VellOS will use OpenFlow to collect statistics on individual flows within the shared bandwidth on switch ports and stitch them together to provide Splunk Enterprise with metrics on end-to-end services and real-time insight into the health of the network visualized via the FarSight template. Splunk software correlates OpenFlow networking statistics with machine data from applications and other infrastructure elements to provide cross-silo actionable intelligence.
To evaluate the benefits of the template for real-time network performance monitoring, network operators can download on Splunk Apps.
The template initially views application and network statistics to understand their respective states under normal load. Once baseline behavior is established it simulates an unanticipated low-priority database backup that causes switch link saturation and degradation of enterprise application performance. By understanding the real-time flow and switch port bandwidth, flows per switch and allocated capacity, administrators can immediately respond to the demands that the application is placing on the network.
“We are pleased to be working with Vello Systems to help organizations effectively aggregate vital real-time data across a distributed network. The combination of Splunk Enterprise and the VellOS solution helps organizations gain operational intelligence across their infrastructure and realize the benefits that software-defined-networking offers with real-time monitoring and analytics,” said Bill Gaylord, senior vice president of business development, Splunk.
“Splunk is setting the standard for how enterprises turn network data into actionable insight,” said Karl May, Chief Executive Officer, Vello Systems. “Enterprise applications are distributed, complex, multi-tier and increasingly located on private/hybrid cloud infrastructure. Leveraging our respective expertise and leadership, we look forward to developing innovative solutions for the enterprise networking community and engaging with Splunk on marketing and sales activities.”
The network underpinning distributed enterprise applications is a critical factor in the performance, security and reliability of those applications. Real-time insight into network performance is a vital data source for analysis of machine data.
