To integrate Virtual Routing and Forwarding and Huawei with your monitoring system, reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Virtual Routing and Forwarding and Huawei and how that can support your monitoring system.
In IP-based (Internet Protocol) network routers, Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) is a technology that allows multiple instances of a routing table to exist in the same router at the same time. These multiple instances of a routing table are able to work simultaneously. This eliminated the need for multiple devices, as network paths are allowed to be segmented.
VRFs are also known to increase network security and improve network functionality due to the segregated traffic without requiring multiple routers. VRF can also be known as VPN routing. Internet service providers often create separate virtual private networks via VRFs, which can boost security by eliminating the need for encryption and authentication.
Huawei is a multinational technology company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It is known for its networking and telecommunication products, and consumer electronics. Huawei designs, develops, and sells these products as is one of the largest companies in the networking market. Huawei was founded in 1987, and now provides its products and services in more than 170 countries around the world.
There are four main business groups in Huawei; Carrier Network Business Group, Enterprise Business Group, Consumer Business Group, and Cloud & AI Business Group. The Carrier Network Business Group offers wireless, core and fixed networks, carrier software, and global services. The Cloud & AI Business Group offers servers, storage products and cloud services. They started to provide network infrastructure, fixed and wireless communication, and data centers at the beginning of 2011 and have now become one of the biggest in the world.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud and on Premise Monitoring
Hosted Prometheus
Hosted Graphite
Grafana Dashboards
Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
No vendor lock-ins
MetricFire allows you to request for a full export at any time, because you will always own the data you input. You get all the benefits of an open-source tool with the stability and security of a SaaS tool.
Easy Budgeting
A structured pricing model allows you to save time and work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allows you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future.
Transparency
MetricFire works transparently on all aspects of their operations of SaaS system monitoring. You can see their own internal system metrics at their public status page.
Robust Support
Technical support is provided by engineers for engineers, so you can expect detailed and relevant answers to your queries.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
