In my previous blog, I outlined how the Nutanix Frame™ Bring Your Own (BYO) Networking capability in Amazon Web Services (AWS) could be used to deploy a Frame account in a manner that would allow it to be connected to an existing private network. In that post, I deployed a RDP bastion server so that I could access those private Frame workloads from an internet based machine since I had no private network.

In this blog, I will demonstrate how the Frame automated Streaming Gateway Appliance (SGA) deployment capability can be used to grant internet access to those same private workloads so that I no longer need the RDP bastion server to access the private network.

As enterprises continue to expand their IT footprint into the public clouds, extending existing private networking infrastructure into the cloud has become more critical. To address the flexibility that this requires, Nutanix has added a Bring Your Own (BYO) Networking feature to its Frame® Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution. In this blog, I walk you through how a test environment could be set up in an AWS® infrastructure to familiarize a Frame administrator with how this feature works. Integration into an actual private network depends on the specific implementation of that network.

BYO networking is useful when an enterprise wants to grant external or temporary access to internal resources. By leveraging a public cloud service like AWS, an enterprise can “rent” public-facing computing resources and grant users access to files or software anywhere in the world. It can also be used as “surge capacity” to grant more full-term employees access to what they need to perform their jobs, but are denied access to physical locations where the private network has been deployed.

You can find details on the network requirements for using Frame in a BYO networking scenario at Public Cloud with Private Networking.

Cloud-based infrastructure has empowered IT managers with the ability to provide their users with virtually unlimited on-demand compute and storage resources from datacenters across the world. Successful capacity management is key to balancing the cost versus user experience equation. Running and pre-provisioned machines make for quick connections for users, but also consume infrastructure costs by keeping the cloud meter running.
