Overlay Virtual Networking

11:34 Introduction

This section contains important information you should read before starting the webinar, and describes the typical IaaS networking requirements:

  • Multiple tenants sharing the same infrastructure;
  • Multiple virtual networks (or routing domains) per tenant;
  • Elastic and scalable solution architecture.
