Installing NS Option enables dynamic and flexible deployment of firewalls and server load balancers that were deployed in a static form, delivering the following merits:
Merit 1: Modifying the Network When Adding Tenants is Easy
The following work, which was necessary when adding tenants without NS Option, will be no longer necessary:
Designing a network associated with installing hardware appliances
Pre-setup networking activities such as cabling
Merit 2: Simultaneous Operation of Multiple Tenants is Easy
As it is possible to deploy an independent NS Appliance on each tenant, network security and server load balancer policies and logs can be separated on a tenant-by-tenant basis, simplifying operation.
Conventionally, when sharing a single hardware appliance unit between multiple tenants for management, the administrator in charge of the entire data center had to adjust and configure the settings while taking requests from individual tenants into consideration, because requirements for policy changes and log managements differ for each tenant.
Installing NS Option enables deployment of an independent NS Appliance on each tenant, making the following operations possible:
Each tenant administrator can change the policy without affecting other tenants.
As the log can be separated on a tenant-by-tenant basis, management is simplified.
