Deploying ERP Services on CloudPond

Background

A customer uses CloudPond to avoid data security risks of their purchased SaaS ERP software. The service status is as follows:

  • ERP is mainly used inside the company. So, it needs to be deployed locally for low latency.
  • ERP needs to be used outside the company during business trips.
  • ERP requires high reliability. It cannot be interrupted except during holidays for both internal and external use.
  • The network and security system of the customer data center meets the ERP deployment requirements.

Networking Configuration

The recommended edge-cloud networking is shown in Figure 1.

Key Points

  • The minimum bandwidth is provided for management plane and data plane networks because all services are deployed at the edge and the edge-cloud traffic is small.
  • It is recommended that the public network of the data center is expanded for ERP use only because the network of the data center may be used by users outside the company.
  • EIP billing by traffic is recommended for the default settings of edge-cloud communications because the cloud data plane does not need to communicate with the edge.
  • It is recommended that load balancing is built for public network access, meeting the high reliability requirements of ERP services. The internal network of the data center does not need load balancing due to its maturity.
  • The security system of the customer data center should cover ERP applications. If the security system cannot cover them, CloudPond can provide the security capabilities.
