•Can contain numbers, letters, and the dot (.) character.

•Follows the OSGi standard for version numbering: major[.minor[.micro]]

Recommended form

_vmajor[.minor[.micro]]

For example: _v1.0.0

1.3 Application and zip file signing

For applications that are installed on the controller, the application zip file and the application JAR, PAR, or WAR file must be signed as described in the HP VAN SDN Controller Administrator Guide. By default, the controller ships with signature validation enabled, but the user can disable this feature.

1.4 Use of encryption technologies

You are responsible that your application complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Many governments, including the U.S. government, restrict the export of cryptography. The level of government control on encryption can depend upon such factors as the purpose for which the encryption will be used, the encryption algorithm, the key length and the method of key management, and the country to which the product is exported.

Products whose use of encryption technologies is limited to encrypting passwords and PINS or authenticating messages are generally exportable without prior government authorization. Products that can encrypt the contents of messages, files, or databases are subject to more stringent controls and prior government authorization may be required to export/reexport/import these products depending upon the strength of the encryption program.

When considering whether or not your application includes encryption technologies, consider any code libraries, utilities, or components that your application links to or includes.

In the U.S. the export of cryptography and encryption technologies is controlled by the United States Bureau of Industry and Security Export Administration Regulations (EAR). If your application is subject to export restrictions, you must enter the ERN (Encryption Registration Number) or CCATS (Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System) number for this application when you submit it.

1.5 Icon requirements

Each catalog item requires two icons:

•A small icon that is used in the category listing for the catalog item that is displayed in the App Store.

•A large icon that is used in the application page for the item in the App Store and in the management portal you use to submit applications.

You can use the same file for both icons, but the file must conform to the dimensions permitted for the large icon.

For best results, use a square shape for your icon.

Icons must meet the following requirements:

VAN SDN Controller Software Products specifications

HP VAN SDN Controller Software Products represent a significant advancement in network management by leveraging software-defined networking (SDN) principles. These products aim to centralize control of network resources, provide enhanced automation, and simplify network management, which can dramatically improve the overall performance and agility of data centers.

One of the main features of HP VAN SDN Controller is its ability to enable an application-centric network environment. By separating the control plane from the data plane, network administrators can gain a holistic view of the entire network. This separation allows for dynamic reconfiguration of network devices and sets the stage for the development of innovative applications that can respond to real-time network conditions.

The controller supports OpenFlow as its primary protocol, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network devices from different vendors. This compatibility facilitates a heterogeneous network environment, allowing organizations to transition to SDN at their own pace without needing to replace all existing hardware. It also promotes vendor diversity, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in.

HP VAN SDN Controller features robust security capabilities, including support for micro-segmentation, which helps in isolating critical components within the network. This layer of security can safeguard sensitive data and protect against threats, ensuring that only authorized traffic is allowed within designated network segments.

Another key characteristic is the controller's emphasis on automation and orchestration. Through APIs and built-in tools, network policies can be defined and applied consistently across the entire network. This intelligent automation reduces the potential for human error and accelerates the implementation of networking changes, enabling organizations to adapt quickly to evolving business needs.

The HP VAN SDN Controller also incorporates advanced analytics capabilities that provide real-time visibility into network performance. These analytics can help in troubleshooting, forecasting capacity needs, and optimizing resource utilization, contributing to improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime.

Furthermore, the scalable architecture of the HP VAN SDN Controller makes it suitable for various environments, from small enterprises to large-scale data centers. The product supports multi-tenancy, allowing multiple virtual networks to coexist on the same infrastructure, which can be ideal for service providers and organizations operating within cloud environments.

In summary, HP VAN SDN Controller Software Products deliver a powerful suite of features and technologies that enhance network control, security, automation, and scalability, positioning organizations to leverage the full potential of software-defined networking.
