Simple and versatile management
Manage your Virtual Data Center conveniently and clearly in a single management console (Cloud Director by VMware), regardless of different security zones or locations. At the same time, you see the resources in use and the status of the individual applications. The VDC gains particular flexibility through segmentation (e.g. by individual customers or departments) and the choice of data center zones and locations.
Workloads

Whether virtual machines (VMs), virtual appliances or entire vApps, your VDC provides them at the push of a button within seconds.

In addition, many other functions and configurations such as snapshot, cloning, moving, affinity rules, CPU, memory, network cards and more can be used and configured in the management console.

Operating systems
You choose the operating system according to your needs. Whether Microsoft Windows, Linux or an entirely different solution: ready-made images make it easier to set up well-known operating systems.
SSD storage

Depending on your needs, different storage policies (classes) are available for the VDC. The classes differ mainly in performance (measured in IOPS). From 500 (low) to 50’000 (ultra-high) IOPS, there is a suitable class for every workload.

In addition to the storage classes, the «Named Disk» function is also available. It can be attached as an independent disk to one or more VMs. This allows, for example, clusters to use a shared disk where this is a requirement.

Firewall, security and more

As standard, the VDC already includes an Edge Gateway (powered by NSX-V or NSX-T), which acts as a firewall between the public network and the VDC’s internal network and handles the security requirements.

The Edge Gateway also offers further functions:

  • NAT (DNAT / SNAT)
  • DHCP
  • Routing
  • VPN (client & site)
  • Loadbalancer

All functions can be configured in real time via the web portal as required.

Network and connectivity

Connections both within and outside the VDC can be configured in a wide variety of ways.

Networks of the type «isolated & routed» can be created very easily. To build a virtual layer 3 architecture, you simply connect Edge Gateways.

Connections via MPLS, SD-WAN or physical fibre optic lines directly to your VDC are also possible.

Disaster Recovery

Netstream Workload Availability Service ensures the secure replication of your workloads and automated recovery.

To Disaster Recovery

Simple migration

Move your productive workloads to the Netstream Cloud securely and predictably.

Use the Workload Availability Service for planned migrations to the Netstream Cloud.

  1. 1

    Replicate

    Your existing systems are replicated during live operation.

  2. 2

    Test

    The replicated systems are tested before anything is switched over.

  3. 3

    Switch over

    As soon as everything is ready, the switchover takes place in a controlled way, without data loss and without downtime.

Multi-cloud availability

One Virtual Data Center, three ways of deployment.

Run your VDC in the shared pool of the Public Cloud, on dedicated hardware in the Private Cloud or as an Edge Cloud at your site. Management stays the same everywhere.

  • Public CloudIn the Netstream Public Cloud, you use resources from a shared pool - the alternative to hyperscalers.
  • Private CloudNetstream Private Cloud provides a dedicated infrastructure (also called bare metal) - tailor-made.
  • Edge CloudThe fully managed on-premises cloud at your site.

Increase security

Backup & Recovery as an add-on to your Virtual Data Center.

The integrated Rubrik backup system protects your data and restores it quickly in an emergency.

Technology byRubrik

  • Instant Recovery

    Files are provided directly on the Rubrik appliance, even large volumes of data.

  • No external access

    No external client can read or modify backup data. This gives malware no way to reach your backups.

  • Verified recovery

    Rubrik checks the data for changes before it goes back into production.

  • Archive in Object Storage

    Older backups are automatically moved to the S3-compatible Object Storage with geo-redundancy.
