Citrix CloudPlatform Clause Samples

Citrix CloudPlatform. Citrix CloudPlatform is a platform-agnostic cloud orchestrator that is based on the Apache CloudStack API (see Section 4.1.3.2 below) and can manage a variety of hypervisors and even bare-metal servers. It is massively scalable, and can orchestrate tens of thousands of physical or virtual servers in multiple, geographically distributed data-centres. Advanced network features and availability zones are provided through a cloud-era data centre topology. CloudPlatform uses VLANs, SDNs, and Layer 3 security groups to isolate traffic between servers and tenants (see Figure 10). The creation of private VLANs, particularly for n-tier applications, is automated and allows per-tier access-control policies. CloudPlatform also manages the physical network and can configure properties such as network speed, IP trunks, etc. Other network services, such as DHCP, NAT, load-balancing, and FW, are provided via a virtual router.
