Traversing multiple cloud platforms | #CCL2015
When Paul Gampe, chief technology officer for IIX, Inc., was researching his new company, he watched an interview that Al Burgio (CEO and founder IIX) did with theCUBE. He said he learned more about the passion and direction of the company by watching the segment.
Next-gen re-platforming
Gampe sat down with hosts John Furrier and Jeff Frick of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at Console Connect LIVE 2015 at the Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco to discuss the vision for Console Inc.’s program to re-platform networking.
A new ecosystem
IIX is a global software-defined interconnection company that is more than networking. The 10x networking company is innovating through social connections and bandwidth. With the launch of the Console Partner Program, the company is pioneering a new ecosystem that enables networks to connect to the cloud.
“The first time I heard about the ecosystem was early on at the company, and I learned it was all about social and helping networks get connected,” said Gampe. “Fostering the ecosystem and creating social relationships is important to us.”
Software-defined interconnectivity
IIX uses Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology to automate a layer 2 fabric. This offers complexity to the network providing an ease of use for the enterprise customer. According to Gampe, “It is critical for infrastructure to connect to the cloud.” He explained that DevOps is driving mass migration to the cloud, and the network companies need to be able to connect the hub to the switch to the cloud, traversing multiple cloud platforms. He continued to clarify that the app’s relationship to the network is relevant because Console is now taking new technology and applying it to routing.
The design-driven development approach is based on four core principles: Trust, control, performance and automation.
