vNetworkStack Benefits

Virtual Networking
Connecting Datacenter & Cloud

The Open CloudBridge solution seamlessly connects the enterprise datacenter and the cloud datacenter with full security, performance and network transparency. Citrix and Vyatta have collaborated to deliver the Citrix Open CloudBridge solution, providing a seamless extension of the enterprise network into the cloud. The joint solution is designed to make the Layer 2 thru Layer 7 network stack transparent when migrating application workloads to the cloud. Key capabilities include: Overlay network across physical and virtual topologies, secure LAN to LAN bridging, network transparency from the premise datacenter to the cloud and multi-tenant on cloud side. The Open CloudBridge solution leverages key capabilities within the Vyatta Network OS, Citrix NetScaler, Citrix Branch Repeater and Citrix XenServer.
