Intel Network Builders Summit: Key Lessons from an advanced multi-vendor NFV ...Kiran Sirupa
A leading Tier-1 Operator in APAC was evaluating new technologies to deliver enhanced managed network services for its Enterprise customers. With the growth in the demand for these services driven by the region’s growing consumption of web-based content and applications, the full-fledged telecommunications company embarked on an initiative to enhance the capacity and capabilities of its managed network services, with the aim of positioning itself as the best-in-class provider of next-generation cloud data center services.
As part of this transformation, the Operator identified NFV-based intelligent service orchestration, leveraging SDN and NFV technologies to pioneer the development of a portfolio of managed network services and invited vendors to participate in a Proof of Concept (PoC) to validate solutions that will be able to deliver these capabilities.
In response to the initiative, Anuta Networks in collaboration with the Tier-1 Operator, HPE and Logicalis, a leading IT solutions and managed services provider, conducted a PoC that saw the company validating the first end-to-end Managed Network Service Delivery using the IETF YANG Modeling Framework.
The PoC saw the deployment of Anuta Networks' NFV Orchestrator and VNF Lifecycle Manager - Anuta NCX - which provides carrier-grade NFV orchestration for instantiating, managing, and chaining Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in accordance to IETF’s Management and Orchestration (MANO) guidelines. HPE provided the NFVI including Helion OpenStack, HP Compute, HPE Virtual Router (VRS) and HPE DCN SDN (OEM version of ALU Nuage VSP) controller.
First of its kind, the highly successful PoC demonstrated capabilities of Anuta Networks via its NCX solution to deliver carrier-grade NFV orchestration while dynamically and intelligently provisioning computing, storage and networking resources to enable the Tier 1 Operator to efficiently deliver next-generation cloud services to clients across the region.

Case Study: Responsive Networks with Closed Loop AutomationKiran Sirupa
A leading financial services provider that delivers real-time information to global banks needed to introduce network capacity management, performance and latency optimization, predictive analytics, network assurance, and SLA compliance. They wanted to build a platform to collect streaming telemetry from multi-vendor network devices, build network analytics and generate insights.
In this case study, Anuta's ATOM software platform introduces closed-loop automation for L2-L7 devices from Cisco, Arista and Juniper using docker micro-services in Google Cloud Platform.
Faced with the dual threats of rising operating costs and declining revenues, network service providers are increasingly turning to network functions virtualization (NFV) to help them keep up with constantly changing market conditions.
In a virtualized Telco environment, service providers can deploy and deliver new network functions, services and capacity on demand—reducing normal rollout time from months and weeks to just hours.
Leveraging the principles of cloud computing, network service providers can deliver a level of responsiveness never before available, easily scaling capacity up or down to meet the evolving needs of their subscribers.
The result is a highly agile system that allows new revenue-generating services to be quickly developed, exhaustively tested and selectively rolled out to targeted groups in a fraction of the time and at a much lower cost than previously thought possible.
In this session, the speaker will present how the solution from Juniper networks look like and how it can be deployed by service provider to improve their agility in delivering services to their customers.

Virtual routing platforms allow carriers to take advantage of virtualization benefits while supporting SDN and NFV initiatives. They aim to provide carrier-grade routing functions with performance comparable to physical routers, using the same management systems and consistent behaviors. Virtual platforms are well-suited for new applications where physical routers cannot meet needs, and allow flexible, on-demand scaling and lower costs than physical routers. Both physical and virtual platforms have strengths and can form blended networks, with services placed based on requirements. Virtual platforms open new approaches to network design and service delivery.
The document discusses embracing software-defined networking (SDN) in next-generation networks. It describes traditional distributed control plane architectures and centralized SDN control plane architectures. It also discusses hybrid control plane models that utilize aspects of both distributed and centralized control. The document provides examples of how SDN can be applied in different network domains including the data center, enterprise network, service provider wide-area network (WAN), and network functions virtualization (NFV).
This document summarizes a proof of concept (PoC) that demonstrated orchestrated, virtualized SD-WAN services from multiple vendors. The PoC showed how SD-WAN services from different providers could be selected independently of hardware through a unified marketplace and portal. It used a common uCPE platform and NFV-based orchestration to automate service provisioning and lifecycle management in alignment with MEF standards. This unified approach reduces complexity and manual intervention compared to current disconnected SD-WAN solutions.

The document discusses frameworks for modernizing federal networks through network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN). It addresses the need to centralize and scale network configurations, enhance situational awareness, enforce policies, and respond rapidly to changing conditions. The proposed framework involves orchestration of virtualized network functions and SDN control through an architecture that includes the OpenDaylight controller, network virtualization, and analytics. Brocade networking products like the Vyatta vRouter are positioned to enable this vision through NFV, SDN, and integration with OpenStack. Use cases for virtual customer premises equipment, virtual customer edge, and virtual peering are described.
Service Provider Architectures for Tomorrow by Chow Khay KidMyNOG
This document discusses challenges faced by service providers and proposes an evolved programmable network architecture to address them. It summarizes that service providers face a degraded business climate, diminished relevance as services are commoditized, and strained legacy infrastructure. A new architecture is proposed using virtualization, automation, and programming to simplify processes, optimize service delivery, and leverage secure hybrid clouds. This evolved approach aims to streamline costs, increase innovation rates, provide elastic scalable services, and optimize network delivery through automation.
OpenStack and the Transformation of the Data Center - Lew TuckerLew Tucker
This document summarizes a presentation by Lew Tucker of Cisco on OpenStack and the transformation of the data center. The key points are:
1) OpenStack is heralding the creation of a new software layer that spans the entire data center and provides a unified compute, storage, and networking infrastructure.
2) Networking is evolving in OpenStack from simple flat networking in Nova to the separate Neutron networking service, which is designed to abstract specific vendor implementations.
3) Neutron is being extended through projects like Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and group-based policy abstractions to provide dynamically scalable network services and allow developers to control network access and traffic through policy definitions.
Research Challenges and Opportunities in the Era of the Internet of Everythin...Stenio Fernandes
Currently there is increasing interest in scientific research on network traffic management for advanced scenarios (e.g. Internet of Everything (IoE), Everything as a Service (XaaS), Smart Cities, and the like) and their respective demands for novel network services. Such networked applications bring massive amounts of traffic data to be processed in real-time, thus driving researchers to develop affordable yet efficient network management systems. In fact, new paradigms, services, and architectures, such as Network Virtualization (NV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Distributed Cloud Computing, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Service Function Chaining (SFC), etc, will require robust and dynamic capabilities to support a myriad of possibilities for applications from the IoE and XaaS concepts. For example, there is a need for an in-depth understanding of the composition and the dynamics of Internet traffic to perform accurate capacity planning, deploy efficient management policies and pricing strategies, assess protocol performance, and detect abnormalities in such scenarios. Research on measurement, modeling, and analysis of network traffic and infrastructure always face new challenges as new applications are continuously deployed.
In this talk, I will discuss the rise of IoE and XaaS as well as the demand for advanced networking services, paradigms, and architectures (e.g., SDN, NFV). I will give an overview of some challenges, opportunities, and directions in these research topics.
