Product details on NxtSight.tech
NxtSight Networking
User Guide
Create networks, subnets, routers, and security groups. Allocate floating IPs and
build tenant network topologies from the Dashboard or CLI.
Admin Guide
Configure provider networks, VLAN and VXLAN segmentation, nxtNet agents, QoS policies,
and advanced routing for your cluster.
CLI Reference
openstack network, openstack router, and openstack security group commands for
managing all networking resources from the command line.Related Services
NxtSight Networking integrates tightly with Compute, Block Storage, and Load Balancer
to deliver end-to-end connectivity for your workloads.
Key Features
Software-Defined Networking
Fully programmable virtual network fabric. Provision isolated tenant networks,
shared provider networks, and routed topologies — all through a single API.
Distributed Routing
Distribute L3 routing across compute nodes to eliminate centralized bottlenecks
and deliver high-throughput east-west connectivity for modern application architectures.
Floating IPs
Map public IP addresses dynamically to private instances. Associate, disassociate,
and reassign without downtime — ideal for blue-green deployments and failover.
Security Groups
Stateful, per-port firewall rules enforced at the hypervisor level. Define ingress
and egress policies with protocol, port, and CIDR granularity.
QoS Policies
Apply bandwidth limits and burst controls to individual ports or networks. Enforce
service-level guarantees and prevent noisy-neighbour interference.
VLAN and VXLAN Segmentation
Segment workloads with hardware-backed VLAN isolation or scale-out VXLAN overlays
that support tens of thousands of isolated tenant networks.
VPN as a Service
IPsec site-to-site VPN tunnels for secure inter-site connectivity. Establish encrypted
tunnels between NxtSight tenant networks and remote sites or on-premises data centers.
Available with Nxt Cloud Suite.
