Pari Networks Partners with Cloupia to Offer Integrated Physical and Virtual Network Management, Compliance and Provisioning Capabilities for Today's Heterogeneous Data Centers


SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2010 -- Pari Networks and Cloupia made an announcement today to offer integrated physical and virtual network management, compliance and provisioning capabilities for today's heterogeneous data centers. The Pari product suite offers network discovery, configuration and change management, multi-device provisioning, network compliance, security assessments and audits. The joint solution provides integrated visibility and control of physical and virtual data center networks, enabling customers to provision and manage network services in a secure manner. The Cloupia product suite offers vendor-neutral, multi-hypervisor and multi-cloud provisioning and management solution that provides physical and virtual infrastructure control, management and monitoring via single pane of glass. With this solution, our customers can configure, manage and provision heterogeneous networks spanning across physical and virtual infrastructure in data centers using single pane of glass.

The spread of virtualization has created new security and compliance issues, requiring continuous auditing and provisioning of the virtual infrastructure to maintain security and compliance. Pari Networks is leveraging Cloupia's self-service on-demand provisioning and dashboard capabilities to offer security risk and compliance services in virtual IT infrastructure. "This partnership is a prime example of our commitment to customers in providing comprehensive network configuration and compliance management solutions. This solution expands our existing physical network configuration and compliance management solution to virtual environments thus providing a unified management control to the entire IT infrastructure," said Satyan Raju, CTO of Pari Networks.

Cloupia found the flexibility and ease of use with Pari Networks' product suite that addresses comprehensive discovery and life cycle management of physical network infrastructure assets. This new joint solution helps Cloupia to expand its existing virtual network management and provisioning capabilities to physical networks in data centers. "Security is one of the top concerns to adapt cloud technologies and today's CIOs are very cautious about network security and compliance in moving business applications into clouds. Cloupia is addressing that very fundamental concern by partnering with one of the leading network audit and compliance companies, Pari Networks," said Raju Penmetsa, VP of Technology. This new offering provides IT departments a unified view of the entire data center network, physical and virtual.
