Under the bonnet
eCloud® Flex's foundations are built on enterprise-level hardware, while UKFast's superfast network and wholly owned data centres are the backbone of the platform. This, combined with the multi-pool architecture of OpenStack, allows you to dip - or dive - into the different areas of the environment as you require.
Software Defined Network Pool
With the eCloud® Flex Network Pool you have the ability to dynamically and programmatically create and modify VPNs, a load balancer and mapped IPs as demand and requirements change. It is at this layer that your front-end traffic is processed and handed over to the specific projects for firewall inspection as internal IPs.
- Assign and re-assign floating external IPs to instances
- Static internal IPs or configurable DHCP zones
- Software-defined L2/3 Topologies
- Additional network services, including virtual private networks(VPNs) and load balancing
- Up to 10Gb/s throughput with Open vSwitch and the UKFastCisco Nexus network10Gb/s connectivity for every blade server
