4. The Midokura Story
Co-Founders, Dan and Kato-san came up with the Midokura
concept and provided the initial investment
4

5. The Midokura Story
We realized immediately that the two largest problems in
building a cloud are networking and storage
5

6. The Midokura Story
Started prototyping two products: MidoNet (Software Defined
Networking) and MidoStore (Object Storage)
6

7. The Midokura Story
Dropped the MidoStore product, shelved plans of being a service
provider, and focused all efforts on MidoNet

8. The Midokura Story
In addition to industry experience, our team also has research
credentials from Cornell, EPFL, and Stanford

11. The MidoNet Solution
MidoNet is an advanced Software Defined Networking (SDN)
solution that uncouples your cloud from your network hardware,
creating an intelligent software abstraction layer between your
end hosts and your physical network.
This abstraction layer allows the network operator to move existing,
multi-vendor, physical network appliances into a software-based virtual
multi-tenant domain. 11

12. MidoNet Key Features
• Virtual L2 Distributed Switching
• Virtual L2 Isolation
• Virtual L3 Distributed Routing
• Virtual L3 Isolation
• L4 Services (Load Balancing, Firewall)
• NAT
• Access Control Lists (ACLs)
• Virtual port and device monitoring
• Restful API
• Web based management control panel
Currently in limited Beta.
General availability will be announced shortly.

13. Problems In Cloud Networking
Existing Networks are difficult to
1
provision and scale
The current cloud networking models

are inherently insecure
The current cloud networking models
3
aren’t resilient to failures

14. Problems In Cloud Networking
Existing Networks are difficult to
1
provision and scale
• The standard environment that has multi-vendor
heterogeneous network devices is difficult to provision.
• The difficulty of manually configuring network resources
increases substantially as the size of the network increases.
• Existing network gear isn’t designed to be provisioned at the
micro-granularity and high-churn of virtualized environments.

15. Midokura’s Answer
Existing Networks are difficult to
1
provision and scale
A Automation and Scalability
• Since MidoNet provides an abstraction layer between the
physical world and the virtual world, the underlying hardware
can be disparate, multi-vendor networking gear and it only
needs to be configured once (on installation of the cloud).
• With MidoNet, cloud users can manage and configure their
own virtual networks centrally. Since everything is
happening in the software (virtual) layer, the physical network
does not need to be re-configured as the virtual network
dynamically changes.
no ssh-ing , no shell scripts , no more integration

16. Problems In Cloud Networking
2 The current cloud networking models
are inherently insecure
• In a multi-tenant cloud, maintaining network-level isolation
between tenants has been cost-prohibitive and very onerous.

17. Midokura’s Answer
2 The current cloud networking models
are inherently insecure
A Isolation
• MidoNet automatically isolates tenants on a network-level

18. Problems In Cloud Networking
3 The current cloud networking models
aren’t resilient to failures

19. Midokura’s Answer
3 The current cloud networking models
aren’t resilient to failures
A Resiliency
• Since Midokura’s DNA is in building fault-tolerant
distributed architectures, MidoNet was designed this way
since day one.

20. Additional Benefits
+ MidoNet lowers your costs of building
and running your cloud
• The ”higher-level" network intelligence is in software, so the
underlying hardware can be less-intelligent. CapEx can be
substantially decreased by using common x86 gear instead of
proprietary network appliances.
• OpEx can also be lowered because managing a MidoNet
solution will require less specialized knowledge and manpower
thereby lowering the ratio of network engineers to network
devices, and subsequently increasing your human
scalability.

21. Additional Benefits
+ And the best part is…
• MidoNet is tightly integrated with
