CLOUD/ NETWORK/ SYSTEM:
World leader in maritime transport
01
The context:
The customer wants to develop an extension of its data centre (DC) on two physical sites, one in Marseille (MRS) and the other in Realtor (RLT). As part of this overhaul of its local network infrastructure, the client wishes to apply DevOps concepts to its network operations in a fully automated manner using SDN (Software Defined Network).
02
Problem-solving approach:
Interconnect the Pods deployed in the DCs using a dedicated inter-pod network (IPN), design and implement an ALM platform for end-to-end provisioning and deployment of the CISO ACI infrastructure (APIC/MSO) using the SDN approach.
03
Result:
DevNetOps transformation, technical upskilling of a team of about 30 network engineers and experts in DevOps concepts, industrialisation and tools, reduction of deployment time (from 01 to 02 days to a few minutes) and increase of deployment frequency (from about 02 per week to several per day on demand), delivery of a platform that is scalable and extensible to other network and even pure application use cases...
