NoviMapper Network Services Load Balancer
Terabit Scale Policy Based Service Chaining and Load Balancing

PROBLEM
CRITICAL NETWORK SERVICES AREN’T KEEPING UP WITH YOUR NETWORK GROWTH!
With the arrival of virtualization, the cloud computing and ubiquitous mobile devices, volumes of traffic are increasing exponentially. Also, the types of services offered increasingly rely on a huge variety of business processes provided as services that run across networks, many of which are distributed across multiple domains. As the percentage of data center traffic going ‘east-west’ within and between data centers has risen to over 80% of the total, the duplication of massive amounts of network flows in order to get telemetry, monitor usage and analyze traffic, as well as the hardware and operating expenses of installing physical TAPs, is driving the cost of Load Balancing, Service Chaining, Packer Brokering and Telemetry collection through the roof.
SOLUTION
NOVIFLOW LAUNCHES POLICY BASED SERVICE CHAINING AND LOAD BALANCING THAT
ECONOMICALLY SCALES NETWORK AND CYBERSECURITY SERVICES INTO THE MULTI-TERABIT RANGE
NoviFlow’s NoviMapper delivers optimized load balancing, packet brokering and telemetry acquisition functions without requiring the use of physical taps to duplicate packets on the main network and transmit them to monitoring and analytics networks. NoviMapper empowers network providers to fully leverage the network/cloud edge as an intelligent resource that can pre-process traffic in order to both optimize information flows throughout the network, and make the best possible utilization of all network resources, thus reducing hardware costs, operating expenditures and even energy utilization.
Unlike conventional non-SDN network solutions, NoviFlow’s NoviMapper leverages the disaggregation of data and control planes to enable these to scale independently, making for greater overall solution modularity by enabling the redistribution and redeployment of network resources in real-time as networking demand fluctuates and change over time. Our solutions’ programable match-action technology further facilitate the transformation of networks from proprietary and virtualized infrastructure to programmable, cloud-enabled solutions deployed on white-box hardware that can economically meet the capacity needs of today’s networks, and that can be software upgraded to enhance or even change functions as needs evolve.
This adaptive modularity also drives new mechanisms for network optimization: thanks to NoviMapper’s service chaining and load balancing capabilities, network services that are usually delivered at the network’s edge (such as security assets, e.g. DDoS, firewalls, etc) can be pooled together and made accessible from anywhere in the entire network, reducing total service costs by sharing capacity over multiple locations, rather than overprovisioning at each ingress/egress point.
