- 23. Software-defined data center CASE STUDY It’s very easy to introduce new services to our customers without needing programmers to develop and implement them. Mogul is all in on Dev-Ops; and with the help of virtualization technologies, we are able to treat much of our infrastructure as code. This gives us the benefit to deliver new services to our customers without the need for installing new hardware, developing custom software, or experiencing service interruption. Stingray really helps us with this. “ ” – Johannes Blome, business director of Mogul Cloud Services IMPROVED… customer experience REDUCED… time to introduce new services ACHIEVED… migration to new hosting platform DECREASED… server hardware costs Read the complete case study

- Programmability is like having legos – you have the building blocks to create a huge range of capabilities!Programmability also accelerates how quickly new capabilities can be created, made available, and implemented.
- Before diving into the details of Riverbed’s programmable infrastructure solutions and FlyScript developer tools, let’s level-set on why we’re doing this.Every customer has needs and requirements specific to their environment. Riverbed has a strong history of delivering solutions for the most common requirements, and we’re always expanding that list of capabiities, but that still leaves a long tail of unique needs, corner cases, and niche requirements. Now we can allow customers to build for their unique needs, as well as allow partners to tailor their solutions. Instead of waiting or using fragile programming work-arounds, we are now putting the power to customize, integrate, and automate into the hands of our customers and partners.
- Riverbed’s heritage of programmability stretches back over 10 years, with a vibrant community around TrafficScript for Stingray Traffic Manager.In December 2012, we introduced REST APIs for Cascade Shark, Cascade Profiler, and Stingray Traffic Manager. Documentation is available on our support website.In March 2013, we released a Python SDK built upon the available REST APIs to allow developers to take advantage of this widely known, easy to learn open source programming language. In addition, we are launching a developer community on the new Riverbed Splash Community with resources like code samples, discussion forums, and technical blogs.By April, the first application – FlyScript Portal – became available, along with a deployment guide for using FlyScript to integrate between OPNET BrowserMetrix and Stingray Traffic ManagerOur vision is to make REST APIs available across the Riverbed performance platform. In addition to Python, there are numerous other programming languages that we can begin to support. Developers, operators and integrators will begin to access widgets and application modules shared on the community from Riverbed, our partners, and even other customers like you.
- Developers: Access to the raw data and configuration via REST APIs gives network developers power to program their network rather than just automate it. Combine data from multiple devices, leverage reporting from one device to instrument changes on another.Application Programmers: Leverage SDKs in scripting languages such as Python and JavaScript to develop complex monitoring and alerting based on the entire network. Grab examples and tutorials from the community to get started quickly. Integrate with available modules from the community to develop custom applications targeted at the unique problems in their network.Operators: Quickly add custom widgets and reports from devices throughout the network to a common portal website. Add not only visualization widgets, but control functionality as well. Web 2.0 technology provides a powerful platform for managing the network using only the data needed.
- So, what does this all mean? With programmable infrastructure, we are opening up a much wider range of possibilities with our solutions. The value of that capability is immense, because:It lets customers decide how to manage their network and application services. As IT becomes more virtualized, automated and orchestrated, programmability is essential to maintaining visibility, achieving scale, and realizing the full potential of data center transformation projects.It lets customers and partners integrate our solutions with each other and other software.It lets a wide range of users innovate with our solutions. To some extent, really committed users have always been able to apply some programmability. But it’s been messy, fragile, and expensive. Now, with supported REST APIs and SDK, developers can use industry standard web services architectures and programming languages.
- Our first use case example is where organizations are using SharePoint and other platforms to build custom IT dashboards. Pertinent IT data is spread across many sources, including Cascade Shark, Cascade Profiler, and Stingray Traffic Manager.With FlyScript, reports and dashboard make custom API calls to retrieve key metrics
- FlyScript Portal 0.1 includes four widgets for assembling views from Riverbed Performance Management Shark – a continuous, high-speed packet capture and indexing software – and RPM Profiler – an end-to-end network monitoring, reporting, and analytics solution.Data from these monitoring services can be mashed up with other services, like Google Maps.The FlyScript Portal features a dashboard that can be customized to display the various widgets, including the four pre-packaged ones and more to come!
- Getting started with FlyScript Portal is easy! Follow these basic instructions to get the Portal up and running. More detail can be found in the README on GitHub.With the FlyScript Virtual Machine, you can easily deploy a new virtual machine with FlyScript and FlyScript Portal already installed.
- Our last use case example is a taste of the kind of closed-loop “diagnose and cure” feedback schemes that programmability enables. Here,TrafficScript can simplify the injection of javascript into web sessions delivered to end users. That browser-based javascript can send data back to Riverbed’s AppResponseXpertBrowserMetrix solution to monitor the end-user experience. FlyScript can then be used to analyze that performance and update traffic policies on Stingray Traffic Manager
- Our next use case example is in virtualized data centers that are using custom or third-party cloud orchestration software in order to build a software-defined data center. Virtualization demands programmability in order to provision, configure, and monitor services logically instead of physically.With FlyScript you can move away from racking and stacking, to a point-and-click self-service portal for provisioning and configuration
- As a service provider in Scandinavia, Mogul hosts a number of business-critical web sites, including some belonging to the Swedish government. The company wanted to upgrade its hosting infrastructure, quickly and seamlessly. By deploying Riverbed Stingray Traffic Manager software and Riverbed Stingray Application Firewall software, Mogul achieved a seamless transition to a new hosting platform. The new platform is more flexible, more scalable, more reliable and more secure. Mogul has also been able to make substantial savings on hardware investment and offer an enhanced end-user experience.The company is all in on Dev-Ops, so FlyScript and TrafficScript was perfect for quickly introducing new services.Read the complete case studyhttp://bit.ly/ZHqNkG
- FlyScript developer tools open up a huge range of possibilities. We can’t enumerate them all, but here are some of the broad categories.
- In addition to hosting the Python SDK on GitHub, developers, operators and Riverbed customers will find numerous developer resources on the Riverbed Splash Community, including:- Code samples- Discussion forums- Technical blogs
