Results for tag: "Virtual Extensible LAN"

Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is a network virtualization technology designed to address the scalability problems associated with large cloud computing deployments. It operates by encapsulating Ethernet frames within a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet, enabling the creation of a virtualized layer 2 network on top of a layer 3 infrastructure, essentially allowing for the construction of a large number of virtual LANs with better isolation and scalability properties. VXLAN facilitates the deployment of a multi-tenant infrastructure within or across data center boundaries, providing the foundation for software-defined networking (SDN) and enabling more flexible and efficient network virtualization. The VXLAN market comprises a multitude of entities including vendors of networking equipment, software tools, and professional services that cater to the need for enhanced network virtualization and overlay technologies. Competition within this market is driven by scalability, performance, integration with existing infrastructure, and the ease of deployment of the VXLAN solutions. Key players in the VXLAN market include Cisco Systems, VMware, Arista Networks, Juniper Networks, and Microsoft. These companies offer a range of VXLAN-capable switches, routers, and controllers, along with software and management tools that allow for the deployment, configuration, and monitoring of VXLAN networks. These vendors are continuously innovating, providing advanced solutions that address a wide range of networking challenges faced by modern data centers and enterprise cloud environments.
