Fabric Creation, Deployment, and Management for Dell OS10 and Enterprise SONiC

Cruz Fabric Controller provides software defined networking and control to orchestrate fabrics in your local or remote data center, remote edges, and remote sites.

Managing, monitoring, and configuring numerous switches in any environment can be challenging. Add the complexity of L2/L3 fabrics with Spine and Leaf nodes, and overlays like VXLAN, and device-by-device management becomes time-consuming and ineffective. For instance, if you need a new VLAN, you simply want to update the fabric, not be bogged down by touching various elements in the fabric, CLI syntax, or order of operations.

The Cruz Fabric Controller provides a solution to manage the fabric as a single entity. It offers true SDN and control to orchestrate fabrics from a single-pane-of-glass.

Cruz Fabric Controller adds to Cruz Operations Center’s (CruzOC) IT resource management. With Cruz Fabric Controller and CruzOC combined, you can deploy and update fabrics, manage, monitor, and maintain fabrics, and automate operations across the entire fabric topology. Together, they provide a single console management product for managing data center and network operations of converging infrastructures.
