ECI-NFV from Data Center to WAN - TNC Prague - June 2016
- 1. ECI Proprietary NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION: FROM THE DATA CENTER TO THE WAN Hayim Porat, CTO
- 2. ECI Proprietary 2 Use of standard IT virtualization technology to consolidate many types of network equipment onto industry standard servers, switches and storage QUICK RECAP: WHAT IS NFV Future Virtual Network Physical Network Orchestration Internet Standard high volume servers F A D B C G H I J E Internet
- 3. ECI Proprietary 3 Adaptation of OTT distributed cloud model to CSP networks to be more competitive Distributed flexible deployment Rapid service configuration and delivery Automation Lower hardware costs WHY IS NFV IMPORTANT
- 4. ECI Proprietary 4 As virtualized functionality can theoretically be run anywhere But there are “considerations” Link issues • Security • Tromboning • Latency Performance for various functions WHERE CAN VNFs RESIDE? Up to 100’s of km apart Service Provider Network “The WAN” 10’s of km apart Data Center Cloud VNFs Virtual network functions (VNFs) running on commercial platforms VNFs Edge Cloud
- 5. ECI Proprietary 5 CLOUD AND EDGE COMPUTING SERVICES ECI Telecom Proprietary and Confidential 5ECI Proprietary 5 Latency of Data Transactions Low sensitivity High Sensitivity FrequencyofData Transactions Low High Email Video Centralized Cloud Computing Adapted from NTT January 2014 Storage Hosted Applications Gaming IoT Smart City M2MAR Health Care Search Enhanced Mobility Enterprise Security Intelligent Transportation Edge Cloud Computing
- 6. 6ECI Proprietary 6 EDGE COMPUTING SERVICES ECI Telecom Proprietary 6ECI Proprietary 6 Driven by IoT, M2M Focuses of NRENs everywhere Opportunity for synergy with Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Smart Cities Intelligent Transportation Health Augmented Reality Delivery Production
- 7. ECI Proprietary 7 WHAT ARE UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF THE EDGE CLOUD Centralized Data Center Cloud Edge Cloud
- 8. ECI Proprietary 8 DATA CENTER CLOUD DATA CENTER VERSUS EDGE CLOUD • Centralized EDGE CLOUD • Economies of scale • Cheap space and energy • A/C often not required • Commoditized repeatable HW & SW • Homogeneous management • Not sensitive to latency • Close to customers • Economies of application • Premium for space and energy • A/C required • Tailored HW & SW • Tailored management • Low latency required
- 9. 10 ECI Telecom Proprietary 10ECI Proprietary 10 ANOTHER EXAMPLE: CPE VIRTUALIZATION Network functions for interworking enterprise LANs across the WAN ̶ Demarcation, routing, VPN, NAT, WAN optimization, security, etc. Implemented physically at customer premises using multiple dedicated appliances Physical CPE Service Provider Network “The WAN” Data Center Cloud vCPE vCPE Virtualization can be distributed across multiple locations Edge Cloud
- 10. ECI Proprietary 11 vCPE needs cleartext to process data However the medium between the CP and cloud is unprotected Hence both user encryption and tunnel encryption is required Doubles processing and energy costs LINK ISSUES SECURITY 1. Cleartext 2. Service provider IPSec Tunnel 4. User’s encrypted traffic Service Provider or Cloud Network 3. IPsec decryption, vCPE processing, User encryption Service Provider Network “The WAN” Data Center Cloud Edge Cloud vCPE vCPE
- 11. ECI Proprietary 12 Can occur frequently ̶ DHCP ̶ DNS ̶ AAA Creates link congestion Can add many 10s of ms to transactions LINK ISSUES TROMBONING AND LATENCY Service Provider Network “The WAN” Data Center Cloud Edge Cloud vCPE vCPE
- 12. ECI Telecom Proprietary and Confidential 13ECI Proprietary 13 RECAP Edge cloud is preferred choice for some applications However it has its unique economics and scale Thus it needs tailored solution Some things to consider: ̶ NFV at the network edge ̶ NFV acceleration ̶ Hyper-converged cloud
- 13. 14 ECI Telecom Proprietary 14ECI Proprietary 14 NFV TO THE NETWORK EDGE Reduces latency Limits tromboning Also a platform for edge computing services (e.g. IoT, M2M, AR) Up to 100’s of km apart Service Provider Network “The WAN” 10’s of km apart Data Center Cloud VNFs VNFs Edge Cloud Move VNFs from anywhere in the network or cloud, to as close as possible to the WAN edge Plus opportunity to combine with the Edge Cloud
- 14. ECI Telecom Proprietary and Confidential 15ECI Proprietary 15 NFV ACCELERATION Supplement NFV for intensive input/output or other processing tasks not best suited to general purpose computing Create a hybrid device with best of both worlds Optimize for first cost and energy costs Optional add-on only when needed
- 15. ECI Proprietary 16 THE CASE FOR A HW ACCELERATED NFV ECI Telecom Proprietary and Confidential 16ECI Proprietary 16 Processor Number (sorted by efficiency) Energyefficiency(MOPS/mW) Microprocessors DSPs 10x 100x Dedicated HW More efficient… More flexible… FPGAs ASICs Source: Bob Broderson, Berkeley Wireless group
- 16. ECI Proprietary 17 APPLYING ACCELERATION TO VNFs ECI Telecom Proprietary and Confidential 17ECI Proprietary 17 High speed switching Deep packet inspection Security Digital signal processing INTERESTING TOPIC FOR NREN RESEARCH Mobility VNFs Switching VPN Gateways Control & Access Traffic analysis Service assurance Signaling Security Optimization P-CPE Service Provider or Cloud Network VNFs VNFs
- 17. ECI Telecom Proprietary and ConfidentialECI Proprietary 18 HYPER CONVERGED CLOUD Strong fit with distributed network edge computing Eases complexity through local plus hierarchical management Unified meta-data management, customized edge management Complimentary with NREN research!! Servers Storage Network Management Security Facilities Services Converged Infrastructure Compute Storage Networking Intelligence Virtual Machine
- 18. ECI Proprietary 19 Multiple platforms for best application fit ̶ Neptune packet transport blade ̶ Stand-alone module ̶ I/O acceleration Best of breed VNFs Accelerated NFV-I Hyper converged cloud platform based on OpenStack ECI ELASTIC VIRTUALIZATION Mercury NFV platforms

- I begin at the end. In case you won’t let me get by my first slide, here is my summary slide at the beginning. Why should you care about Apollo. Because it is focused on meeting your needs and your bottom line. Optical networking as we will see is all about lowering the cost per bit, and this is the heart of Apollo with effortlessly scalable all topology networking. On top of that Apollo integrates packet services, it is ultra-efficient throughout its lifecycle which also lowers the cost per bit, and it is a source of new revenues.
