Aspen Service Mesh
Aspen Service Mesh provides an Istio-based microservices solution for service providers and medium- to large-scale enterprises. Learn how to get started today!
Introduction
Security should be ensured at all layers and work together with new clusters when introducing services running on top of a microservices infrastructure. It is paramount for all new points of exposure to be visible, which aids in pin-pointing security threats.
- Enterprise Visibility - Per-user, per-service and per-tenant traffic and service visibility allow traceability for compliance tracking and performance purposes.
- Enhance Cluster Security - Topology obfuscation of internal infrastructure and visibility to traffic enables increased security of deployed clusters and services.
- Service Provider Visibility - Per-subscriber and per-service traffic visibility allows traceability for compliance tracking and billing purposes.
Product Overview
Connect microservices and scale Kubernetes with minimal management overhead
Aspen Service Mesh is deployed by an enterprise as an Istio-based microservices service mesh platform, or by a service provider as an SBA service mesh building block for 5G SA deployments. It may also be deployed by a service provider in conjunction with F5 BIG-IP Next Service Proxy for Kubernetes (SPK) for legacy 4G or 5G non-standalone (NSA) deployments in transition to a standalone 5G deployment.
On-Premises, Private or Hybrid Cloud
For highly regulated businesses where data ownership and security are prioritized, and where legacy services maybe in transition.
Multi-Cluster
A microservice deployment platform for HA and DR. Deploy workloads requiring high availability or disaster recovery capability.
Multi-Cloud
Easily integrate data and services across various cloud-native architectures. Integrate security and visibility for seamless deployments.
Multi-Tenant
Deploy a single cluster, multi-cluster, or multi-cloud deployment to provide services to multiple tenants, each isolated from each other.
