Virtual Routing in the Cloud

Virtual routing and Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR 1000v) are key enablers of today's revolutionary shift to cloud applications and virtualized network functions built on off-the-shelf servers. Now, there's an authoritative and comprehensive guide to building real network and business solutions with Cisco's CSR 1000v platform. Three leading Cisco experts cover every essential building block, present key use cases and configuration examples, illuminate multiple network design and deployment scenarios, and show how the CSR 1000v platform and APIs can enable state-of-the-art Software Defined Networks (SDNs). Drawing on extensive in-the-trenches experience with early adopters, they cover all this, and more:How each type of cloud operational environment comparesHow virtual routers can accelerate cloud adoptionKey details of the operating systems and hypervisors that virtual routers run onCSR 1000v architecture, software design, and day-to-day operationsBuilding Software Defined Networks (SDNs) with the CSR 1000v's APIsOvercoming architectural challenges associated with the cloud migrationSimplifying cloud service operations, and monitoring
