GroundWork released GroundWork Net Hub, offering discovery and monitoring for dynamic software defined networks (SDNs).

“Traditional network monitoring methods struggle to work and map well to the dynamic and fluid nature of private clouds and SDNs,” said David Dennis, VP of Business Development and Marketing for GroundWork. “We understand that, and wanted to provide the same API-based monitoring capabilities of SDNs that users expect from monitoring private cloud compute resources.”

GroundWork Net Hub is built off of GroundWork’s popular Cloud Hub code base. And similar to Cloud Hub, GroundWork Net Hub only needs to be configured once. From that point, Net Hub remains in communication with the SDN controller to know: the configuration of the network, when elements have been added or removed, and their performance characteristics.

Benefits of GroundWork NetHub:

- Monitor OpenDaylight / OpenFlow-based SDN controllers

- Native API-based monitoring

- Continuous network discovery of new elements

- Ability to gather topology, port statistics, flow statistics, packet and byte counts

The first version of GroundWork Net Hub will include feeders for Open SDN (Open Daylight/Open Flow), with feeders for Cisco ACI and VMware NSX to follow.
