Prosimo – How Multi-Cloud Networking Should Work – CFD18

multiple different networking tools exist in all clouds expanding multi-cloud multiplicatively. With all the different tools it creates complexity but even more than that. When a simple VPC connects to another VPC it creates the need for a hub and spoke configuration, but what about endpoints? What about other solutions that are public facing but your no longer public?

Prosimo is looking to simplify the stack when it comes down to set up the different networking and allowing the networking solutions to connect to another different area. From a high level Prosimo is looking to fix issues that customers are running into which flow from this problem of cloud networking.

Demo Time!

Here is what Prosimo looks like:

What networking with VPCs, and other AWS networking components would look like in Prosimo

Network onboarding:

Security Policies

Private Link sources for utilization with Prosimo

Service Insertion Policy:

Cloud Tracer: Because validating that your networking will work, or not work is kinda a big deal

My Thoughts:

This is my third time hearing from Prosimo, the first presentation was when they were still relatively new to the street. Even then I saw the wonder of what this solution could provide. The key pain point that it’s targeting is an easy one. Customers do not like having to deal with complex networks that cannot be understood because they cannot be touched. With the move to the cloud these networks are more software than anything else. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a solution that was built, created a mesh, and was able to flow the traffic between clouds, and between services that don’t have IP addresses? Absolutely. Prosimo even showed the extension from an AWS subnet being able to login to a postgresql database in Azure. Mind blowing.

Prosimo has even thought about networking changes within the cloud. While a lot of customers are dealing with cloud changes like a dev/test solution, Prosimo takes it to the enterprise and allows their users to build attachments but then create maps, and documents to then be taken to their CAB(Change Advisory Board) groups.

Third time is definitely the charm with Prosimo. Now with the expansion of cloud services including the solutions outside normal IP networking within the cloud (like lambda, RDS, etc.) Prosimo defiantly plants their flag on the cloud landscape with their solution.
