HPE SDN Controller Startup Service

HPE Installation and Startup Service for HPE Software Defined Networking (SDN) Components coordinates the installation, configuration, and verification of HPE Controller software on an existing server and provides configuration of OpenFlow-enabled switches designed to get your SDN network up and running quickly. The service includes the installation of one HPE VAN SDN Controller and the configuration of a number of OpenFlow-enabled switches depending on the optional add-on services purchased. This service is available only for select HPE SDN products and will be delivered remotely. With this service, you will also receive a brief orientation session on the installed product features.

As part of this service, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise technical specialist will remotely connect to your network to perform HPE VAN SDN Controller installation and basic setup and enablement of OpenFlow on previously installed HPE OpenFlow-enabled switches. The technical specialist will also enable OpenFlow communication between the switches and the HPE SDN Controller.

The Support Services part numbers to be used will depend on your network. The SDN Controller Support Service will be combined with optional Support Services based on the number of switches that will be enabled. See the ‘Ordering information’ section for more details.

The HPE SDN Controller Startup Service covers one server controller installation. For High Availability (HA) configurations, three server controllers are required. An additional HPE SDN Controller Startup Service is also required to install the HA configuration.
