Challenges Faced

Challenge 1: Brocade vRouter Implementation

Understanding the technical nuances of the post-Vyatta operating system posed some implementation challenges.

Challenge 2: Vlan segmentation and network addressing

The subnetwork and vlan segmentation added a layer of complexity that required careful planning so the organization can reuse and repurpose its infrastructure for any type of workload in the future.

Solution Provided

We at ne Digital, an IBM Advanced Business Partner, established a Brocade vRouter in place to integrate RedClay’s VPN needs and provide routing and security to their hybrid cloud integration and their deployments in the SoftLayer data centers. The challenge of Brocade vRouter Implementation was overcome with the help of Brocade and IBM Bluemix.
