StoneWork

A high-performance data plane. A modular control plane.

What is StoneWork?

Modular First

StoneWork dynamically integrates all network functions from our portfolio.

A configuration-dependent startup of modules provides feature-rich control plane capabilities by preserving a single, high-performance data plane.

Protobuf-Modelled Northbound API

Features

Focused on performance.

Due to utilizing the FD.io VPP data plane and container orchestration, StoneWork shows excellent performance, both in the cloud and bare-metal deployments.

This way, StoneWork achieves the best-possible resource utilization, unified declarative configuration, and re-use of data paths for packet punting between cloud-native network functions.

A programmable, protobuf-modelled Northbound API, makes Config & State Data Management:

  • Lightweight
  • Transport-Agnostic
  • Language-Neutral

Accessed via a variety of technologies:

  • gRPC, REST (HTTP)
  • Key-value stores (ETCD, Redis, Bolt)
  • Kubernetes CRD
  • Message Brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
