CloudMC

Horizon Networks CloudMC management platform

Horizon Networks CloudMC management platform helps customers realize automatic network deployment and flexible control in cloud environment, and can manage hundreds of application delivery controllers. With the help of the CloudMC management platform, it is convenient to connect VirtualAD with the cloud operation management platform, and flexibly allocate and reclaim the bandwidth resource usage rights of each VirtualAD. The administrator can monitor and comprehensively analyze the usage of virtualad, simplify operation and reduce it costs.

Product Advantages

Automatic deployment

Check application performance

Unified policy management

Easy to connect with cloud platform

License centralized management

“Automatic deployment”

By calling LBaaS interface through openstack plug-in, the device can be automatically created and deployed, which can manage the whole life cycle, reduce operation and maintenance cost.

“Check application performance”

It provides a global view of the customer network to help customers identify, diagnose and solve application performance problems before affecting the user experience.In the user management interface, the administrator can see the detailed resource usage and performance indicators such as throughput, new connection and concurrent connection of each device, so as to intuitively and comprehensively understand the operation of all devices.

“Unified policy management”

It provides a unified platform for device control and application configuration, which integrates multiple management tasks. Administrators can easily implement continuous policies for all devices, which is easy to use.

“Easy to connect with cloud platform”

CloudMC can call openstack or vSphere interface. Meanwhile, CloudMC provides a northbound interface for the cloud platform to call, which can quickly integrate with the cloud platform.

“License centralized management”

The concept of license resource pool is introduced, which can flexibly distribute bandwidth resources to each device according to their needs, or recover the distributed bandwidth resources, and redistribute different bandwidth resources according to the situation, which brings flexibility in use.

Product Value

Automatic deployment, simplify operation and reduce it cost

License resource pool brings flexibility and reduces repeated investment

Easy to connect with cloud management platform
