Challenges to support NFV as a Service. Dr Steven Davy, TSSG
- 1. Challenges for NFV as a Service Dr Steven Davy, 3MT, Research Unit Manager, TSSG 31th March 2015
- 2. 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 2 MOBILE, MESSAGING & MIDDLEWARE TECHNOLOGIES Innovating in High Speed, High Performance Internet and Cloud Services DR. STEVEN DAVY 3MT Unit Manager sdavy@tssg.org / +353 (0)51 845680 www.tssg.org/research/units/3mt
- 3. Network Function Virtualisation • Its not SDN ! • SDN opens up the control & data plane • SDN primarily protocol oriented • SDN primarily centers on Flows 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 3
- 4. Network Function Virtualisation • Commodity Hardware • White Box Switch Vendors • Innovations in x86 processor architectures 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 4
- 5. What is NFV? Potential to disrupt the way the Internet is built and managed • New Entrants (e.g. white boxes) • New Services (e.g. NFV Marketplace) • New Business Models (NFVaaS) 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 5
- 6. Why NFV now ? Tug of War between growing network complexity; reducing revenue 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 6 Network Complexity Reducing Revenues
- 7. Costs of equipment, maintenance, management are not reducing with complexity ! 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 7 Network Complexity Reducing Revenues
- 8. NFV offers potentially dramatic Reductions in Operational Costs 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 8 Network Complexity Reducing Revenues NFV offers new and innovative means for operators to Generate Revenues
- 9. Why NFV as a Service? 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 9 • Network Functions that can be “offloaded” by Enterprises • Reducing the cost of network management / configuration • Firewall, VPN, Guest WIFI, MPLS, Bandwidth.. All Virtualised
- 10. 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 10 Physical Firewall is installed and configured to handle 10,000 Sessions per second 2000 Clients Firewall x 10,000 Sessions
- 11. 20,000 Clients Firewall x 10,000 Sessions VPN Virtual Firewall x 100,000 Sessions 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 11 Physical Firewall + Virtual Firewall combine to handle 110,000 Sessions per second to handle influx of Users
- 12. 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 12 No Standardized Protocols for NVF For the Customer • How to request NVF resources from Third Parties? • How to describe the request for resources? • How to compare offerings? • How to know when to spin up / down NFVs? • Which functions can be virtualised?
- 13. 03/04/2015 www.tssg.org 13 No Standardized Protocols for NVF For the NFV Provider • How to guarantee any SLA? • How to cope with highly dynamic demand for NFVs? • How to spin up/down NFVs rapidly? • How to combine NFV with Cloud Computing? • How to account for NFV usage? • How to ensure secure NFV usage?

Editor's Notes
- NFV is not SDN They are orthoganal

- What is LiquidEdge – LiquidEdge is a software platform that is giving Venues the tools they need to ensure that the Fan Experience through there mobile - is exceptional. We do this by leveraging HD WIFI, which is WIFI technology that enables you to have fast, secure internet access similar to that you can experience in the comfort of your sitting room, but in a high density environment. While also enabling venues to generate revenue from their network infrastructure to ensure they can continuously re-invest to keeping their WIFI state of the art. - LiquidEdge is an Enterprise Ireland funded initiative that is leveraging all the world class expertise of TSSG, and combining this with the vast knowledge of Eircom, to bring an new highly innovative technology to market this year.
