IoT Architecture - are traditional architectures good enough?Guido Schmutz
Independent of the source of data, the integration of event streams into an Enterprise Architecture gets more and more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analysed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events. Dependent on the size and quantity of such events, this can quickly be in the range of Big Data. How can we efficiently collect and transmit these events? How can we make sure that we can always report over historical events? How can these new events be integrated into traditional infrastructure and application landscape?
Starting with a product and technology neutral reference architecture, we will then present different solutions using Open Source frameworks and the Oracle Stack both for on premises as well as the cloud.

The objective is to discuss SD-WAN in broad, vendor-neutral terms to provide an overview of the key technologies involved.
This document discusses how Information Centric Networking (ICN) called Networking of Information (NetInf) can support cloud computing. NetInf provides new possibilities for network transport and storage through its ability to directly access information objects through a simple API independent of location. This abstraction can hide much of the complexity of storage and network transport systems that cloud computing currently deals with. The document analyzes how combining NetInf with cloud computing can make cloud infrastructures easier to manage and potentially enable deployment in smaller, more dynamic networks. NetInf is described as an enhancement to cloud computing infrastructure rather than a change to cloud computing technology itself.

The document describes a novel homozygous mutation in WDR72 identified in a Pakistani family with hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). Ultrastructural analysis of deciduous teeth from an individual with a previously reported WDR72 mutation showed reduced mineral density but normal enamel rod formation and absence of retained enamel matrix proteins. This suggests WDR72 mutations cause hypomaturation AI through a mechanism other than disrupting enamel matrix degradation and removal during maturation. The findings characterize further the enamel phenotype associated with WDR72 mutations and provide insight into how these intracellular mutations influence enamel development.

Mutations in the beta propeller WDR72 gene were found to cause autosomal-recessive hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in two unrelated Pakistani families. WDR72 encodes a protein of unknown function that is expressed in maturation-stage ameloblasts. The mutations likely disrupt normal vesicle trafficking in ameloblasts, which is important for secretion into immature enamel and removal of cleaved enamel matrix proteins during enamel maturation. This leads to weak, opaque enamel that inappropriately retains matrix proteins and fails prematurely after tooth eruption, characteristic of hypomaturation AI. WDR72 may function similarly to its homolog WDR7, which is involved in vesicle mobilization and calcium

Mutations in the gene C4orf26 were found to cause amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a genetic condition affecting the enamel of teeth, in nine families. C4orf26 encodes a protein expressed during enamel formation that promotes the nucleation of hydroxyapatite crystals, which are the main mineral component of enamel. Five different loss-of-function mutations were identified in C4orf26 that co-segregated with AI in the families. An in vitro assay showed that the C4orf26 protein can promote the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals, suggesting it plays a role in enamel mineralization during tooth development. This identifies C4orf26 as the fifth gene associated with AI and provides insights into
This document summarizes a study that identified a novel nonsense mutation in the FAM83H gene in a family with autosomal dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta. Scanning electron microscopy and other analyses of deciduous teeth from affected family members revealed poorly formed enamel rods coated in amorphous material. The mutation was a c.1374C>A change predicted to result in a premature stop codon (p.Y458X). This adds to the understanding of how FAM83H mutations contribute to enamel mineralization defects.

The next generation ethernet gangster (part 3)Jeff Green
The original competitors in the Ethernet market remind me of gang members who each had their unique advantages to win over their turf. Over the past few years, Extreme assembled seven gangers from a variety of backgrounds with their strengths to perform a mission and deliver a new level of value to our customers. Extreme has adopted a gangster strategy going against the grain of the market leader. So far, the gangster strategy has been a winning strategy. When market leaders are proposing proprietary solutions, Extreme went open Linux with “superspec.” When they pushed DNA and its additional complexity, Extreme responded by re-thinking the way networks are designed, deployed, and managed without vendor lock-in. Final-ly, when they tied to service and to licensing together with Cisco One, Extreme responded with added flexibility in both licensing, services, and Extreme-as-a-service.

It provides Avaya’s perspective on the characteristics of the Software-Defined Data Center and the value of its Fabric Connect technology as the foundation for this solution. It also talks about how combining Avaya Fabric Connect with open-source cloud orchestration capabilities (that are being defined by OpenStack) can enable a graceful migration to the Software-Defined Data Center.
Privacy preserving public auditing for secured cloud storagedbpublications
As the cloud computing technology develops during the last decade, outsourcing data to cloud service for storage becomes an attractive trend, which benefits in sparing efforts on heavy data maintenance and management. Nevertheless, since the outsourced cloud storage is not fully trustworthy, it raises security concerns on how to realize data deduplication in cloud while achieving integrity auditing. In this work, we study the problem of integrity auditing and secure deduplication on cloud data. Specifically, aiming at achieving both data integrity and deduplication in cloud, we propose two secure systems, namely SecCloud and SecCloud+. SecCloud introduces an auditing entity with a maintenance of a MapReduce cloud, which helps clients generate data tags before uploading as well as audit the integrity of data having been stored in cloud. Compared with previous work, the computation by user in SecCloud is greatly reduced during the file uploading and auditing phases. SecCloud+ is designed motivated by the fact that customers always want to encrypt their data before uploading, and enables integrity auditing and secure deduplication on encrypted data.
This document provides an overview of SDN, NFV, and VNF technologies. It explains that network infrastructure is transitioning from proprietary hardware devices to software-enabled commodity hardware, similar to the earlier transition of servers to virtual machines. The document discusses the definitions and concepts of SDN, NFV, and VNFs, how they provide benefits like reduced costs, increased flexibility and scalability. It also addresses why these technologies are gaining adoption now due to improvements in software, hardware, and ecosystems that support them.
1) The document presents a conceptual framework for standardizing and virtualizing the Internet of Things infrastructure through deploying OpenFlow technology.
2) The framework consists of 4 layers and aims to provide context-aware e-services based on context information collected from IoT devices, while leaving the existing infrastructure unchanged.
3) It allows heterogeneous devices and protocols to collaborate actively and form a common platform to share resources and establish multi-operational sensor networks.
Clarifying fog computing and networking 10 questions and answersRezgar Mohammad
Fog computing is an architecture that distributes computing, storage, control and networking functions closer to users along the cloud-to-thing continuum compared to traditional cloud computing architectures. It aims to provide a seamless continuum of services from the cloud to end devices. Key differences between fog and edge computing are that fog is more inclusive, seeks to realize a seamless continuum rather than isolated platforms, and envisions a horizontal platform to support multiple industries. Fog computing is expected to enable new commercial opportunities and business models by providing integrated end-to-end services and applications through the convergence of cloud and fog platforms.
This document summarizes network softwarization trends, challenges, and research efforts. It discusses how telecommunications companies are shifting their focus from hardware-centric to software-centric networks. This allows for more flexible and agile networks through technologies like Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). NFV aims to virtualize network functions on commodity hardware, while SDN separates the control and data planes for increased programmability. The document outlines trends driving these changes, challenges faced by network operators, and several ongoing research projects exploring NFV, SDN, and their synergies to realize the benefits of software-defined networks.

OpenFlow:
A Radical New Idea in Networking
An open standard that enables software-defined networking
Thomas A. Limoncelli
Computer networks have historically evolved box by box, with individual network elements
occupying specific ecological niches as routers, switches, load balancers, NATs (network address
translations), or firewalls. Software-defined networking proposes to overturn that ecology, turning
the network as a whole into a platform and the individual network elements into programmable
entities. The apps running on the network platform can optimize traffic flows to take the shortest
path, just as the current distributed protocols do, but they can also optimize the network to
maximize link utilization, create different reachability domains for different users, or make device
mobility seamless.
OpenFlow, an open standard that enables software-defined networking in IP networks, is a new
network technology that will enable many new applications and new ways of managing networks.
Here are three real, though somewhat fictionalized, applications:
EXAMPLE 1: BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT. A typical wide area network has 30 percent utilization;
it must “reserve” bandwidth for “burst” times. Using OpenFlow, however, a system was developed
in which internal application systems (consumers) that need bulk data transfer could use the
spare bandwidth. Typical uses include daily replication of datasets, database backups, and the
bulk transmission of logs. Consumers register the source, destination, and quantity of data to
be transferred with a central service. The service does various calculations and sends the results
to the routers so they know how to forward this bulk data when links are otherwise unused.

The document discusses network function virtualization (NFV) and its benefits, challenges, and use cases. NFV aims to implement network functions through software running on commercial off-the-shelf servers and storage, to provide benefits like reduced costs, increased agility, and flexibility compared to proprietary hardware appliances. The ETSI NFV Industry Specification Group is working on requirements and an architecture for NFV. Examples of potential applications include virtualized routers, firewalls, traffic monitoring functions and mobile network nodes. Both NFV and SDN aim to make networks more programmable and automated but through different approaches.
NFV aims to reduce network operators' costs and improve service delivery speeds by using virtualization technology to consolidate network functions onto industry-standard servers and switches located in data centers. This allows functions like routing, firewalls, and load balancing to be delivered as software rather than via proprietary hardware appliances. NFV promises benefits like reduced capital and operational expenditures, increased flexibility and agility to deploy new services, and easier scaling of network functions. The ETSI NFV working group is working to define requirements and approaches for NFV implementation through industry collaboration.
Companies should
strive to incorporate more agility and SOFT in their
processes and IT systems, which will enable them to
respond faster to changes in customer requirements and
market conditions.

The document discusses Internet of Things (IoT), which connects physical objects through sensors and software to exchange data over the Internet. It describes how technologies like affordable sensors, connectivity, cloud computing, machine learning, and AI have enabled IoT. The number of connected IoT devices is expected to grow from over 7 billion today to 22 billion by 2025. Network virtualization is also discussed, which abstracts network resources into software to combine or divide physical networks flexibly. This improves agility, security, and efficiency.

1. The New IP
What is the New IP? It’s the old IP reimagined for our modern world, and designed
to meet the needs of cloud, mobile, social and big data.
The new IP is both hardware and software….and it has both business and
technology benefits.
Let’s compare where we are today, to the promise of the New IP, and then talk about
the advantages and implications of this transformation.
The old IP is based on closed, proprietary systems, innovation cycles are
constrained by custom hardware, and provisioning network resource is difficult and
manual. Security is bolted on, interoperation is achieved through standards,
vendors are at the center of the ecosystem, costs are high, and innovation is slow.
The New IP is based on open source, riding on commodity hardware and merchant
silicon, and provisioning network resource is automated and self service. Security is
built in from the start, interoperation is achieved through open APIs, the customer is
at the center of the ecosystem, capex and opex costs are lower and innovation
happens at the speed of business.
And some surprising things become possible with the New IP.
Your data center goes from the back office to the front door….from a cost
center to a revenue engine.
The data center is without walls, you can scale out as easily as you can scale
up or down.
The network IS the data center, and the data center is the network. Your
applications, where appropriate, are network aware, and your network is
aware of the application and its needs. Network services, security and QoS
can be attached to, and move with, each application.
There is no edge to the New IP network, not as we know it today.
And instead of having to buy everything up front from your vendors, and
bear all the risk of gaining the value of your investment. In the New IP you
pay for what you use, as you use it. No contract term, cancel when you want,
upgrade at any time without penalty, in fact….never buy another piece of
physical equipment if that’s your preference.
2. The New IP is a modern network, built on your time, and your terms.
Getting Started in the Data Center
To meet the escalating expectation of users and close the relevance gap, you’ll be
using private clouds, public clouds or a hybrid solution, and you’ll need to move data
and workloads among them. You need something programmable to support rapid
innovation. And costs need to come down, ideally paying as you use technology and
get real value.
So what’s the architecture of a New IP network and how do you get there?
Let’s start with NFV (network functions virtualization)…basically replacing the
routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, application delivery controllers, and
other physical equipment you already have with software. Reduce capex, in some
cases by 90%, and opex, and increase your ability to spin up and down resources as
you need them. Your services become mobile. You can take all the network services
an a virtualized application needs, and put them right next to the VM on the same
server. The application doesn’t need to leave the server, and as a result you reduce
your north/south traffic, and your costs. You also increase security you provide a
virtual firewall security layer attached right to each application, and it moves with
the application as it moves around your infrastructure.
You also need SDN, which provide the tools to manage and control the network
services and infrastructure, whether its been virtualized or not. Open Day Light is
an opensource SDN solution that provides granular visibility and control over
network functions. It allows you to visualize, control, provision, and manage your
resources. And it does it in an automated fashion. Any service in the network that
you’ve created, physically or virtually, can be controlled by one SDN controller in a
fully programmable way. You can standardize data modules using YANG and
NetConf, and use REST APIs to mix and match vendors in your network.
But the network is only one important part of your infrastructure. You have
compute and storage too. And that’s where orchestration comes in. OpenStack, an
opensource protocol for the orchestration layer, can provide the same benefits of
ODL at the network layer across compute, data and network. In addition, because
you are likely to have a multi-cloud environment (private and public) you have to
make the clouds work together in a predictable, scalable and manageable way. And
openstack orchestration provides that ability, allowing your orchestration to stretch
across your full environment.
This is all the cool stuff. It’s what’s called the ‘overlay’. But if you have an overlay,
you need an ‘underlay’ to go with it.
3. You have to be able to forward the packets. Fabrics are the most often-
recommended underlay architecture, specified by companies like VMWare, Cisco
and Brocade to name a few. Today’s rigid architecture in most data center
networks…hierarchical and topologically dependent….won’t allow you to take
advantage of the agility of the virtual constructs of NFV and SDN. That’s why fabrics
are so critical, and why so many analysts recommend them too.
Why use a fabric underlay? You need an infrastructure that is flexible, scales up and
out, and adapts to handle instantaneous changes in traffic flows, flow sizes, packet
sizes and protocols. In fact, you probably want this even before you move to the
rest of the New IP architecture.
Fabrics deliver New IP value today, into your current network, by creating a giant
sandbox in which your virtual applications are optimized for virtual deployment.
Because applications are now modular and distributed, its important for the
network to be aware of where these modules live and how they relate to each other.
The network fabric is virtual-machine-aware, and this increases capacity of traffic
flow dramatically, along with the speed and performance of the network. Why?
Because the traffic automatically takes the shortest or best path. It can move ‘east-
west’ saving money and time compared with traffic flow that’s limited to ‘north-
south’ directions because of rigid topologies.
The automation of fabrics reduces opex, increases performance and availability, and
sets you up for your NFV and SDN migration.
And what about security? Security must be pervasive and behavioral-based. You
need a programmable network to take advantage of the state of the art security
capabilities available in the new IP ecosystem. For example, you may need to create
virtual DMZs when the network, or the security layer, perceives inappropriate
action. Since Fabrics minimize the number of hops and automate otherwise manual
functions, they increase the inherent security in a network.
NFV and SDN make services mobile, and allow firewalls and other services to be
deployed with and tied to the application. This delivers fine grained security that’s
ubiquitous and mobile. The result is a network that can adapt to security
requirements in real time. Hyper optimized, by individual session.
There are 5 must have’s with any fabric.
1. True Democracy: This means every switch is equal t to every other switch.
The architecture is flat, without hierarchy, so that there is no single point of
failure. This result of a flat layer 2 or 3 surface that a self forming and self
healing network. All paths are equal and available, and devices of different
capacity and design can be mixed together. You can mix and match chassis
4. and fixed configuration (ie: pizza boxes)…meaning the religious wars around
architecture are rendered meaningless. Use both.
2. Distributed Intelligence. Every port is aware of every other port. This means
you can move workloads with their associated characteristics (called
automatic migration of port profiles, AMPP). These characteristics access
control, QOS and other port-oriented application characteristics. A fabric
should abstract this information and thus give you the ability to move
workloads at will. And if a port is lost, the workload is moved to an available
port, so you don’t degrade availability.
3. Native Automation: Fabrics should be built from the ground up for
automation, making them five to ten times faster to deploy than individual
elements and providing a range of additional capabilities such as AMPP self
configuration and self healing. Native automation delivers near perfect load
balancing throughout the mesh, at layer one. You don’t need additional
devices or manual configuration. Native automation is critical to get New IP
benefits from your network underlay, for scale, availability and performance
without human intervention and lost time.
4. Absolute persistence. This means when you form a fabric it will, to the very
last port on the very last switch, optimize and maximize the flow of traffic
through the fabric. You can lose a port, or a whole switch, and the fabric will
react in real time and balance. You get transparent interconnection of lots
and lots of links. It works like the Internet itself. In a classic or hierarchical
architecture, the network can shut down until human intervention fixes the
problem.
5. Fast! This means no compromise between scale and latency. Fabrics take
the most efficient path, automatically. They should combine hardware
performance with software programmability. Since a fabric by definition
means you have more than one node, you can’t be forced to compromise
scale or latency because you add nodes. You need to be able to be really big,
and really fast. That’s what a fabric does.
Your data is your most precious asset, and applications are only as effective as the
data they source. But today we consume an unprecedented variety of data through
a unprecedented number of applications. And the best way to hook them together
in an efficient, scalable and reliable way is through the mediation of a fabric. It’s the
foundation of the New IP, and it unlocks value and creates freedom even in your
current network, with our without the additional benefits of NFV or SDN.
What About the Edge?
The edge isn’t always a physical place anymore as much as a set of activities….it’s
where the user interfaces and interacts with an application. The application lives in
the cloud or in the data center. The user can be anywhere they want to be, and the
edge moves with the user.
5. So instead of thinking about the edge in physical terms, lets first think about what
we need to do at this interface? As a user interacts with data or an application, you
need to apply the services and policies that control the interaction. And the actions
will vary based on who you are, where you are, and what rights you have. Based on
the answers, we can apply policies that are expressed through network services, like
routing, firewall, QOS, and so forth.
You can virtualize just about any service, so where this wrapper of policy occurs can
be anyplace, just like the application. The edge is wherever this is happening. We
might push policies to any device with compute capability, or with access to it. So
for mobile devices, you don’t need a physical edge. And this is where virtual edge
software and services fit into the picture, often called vCE (virtual consumer edge).
A first step in this direction doesn’t require a full vCE architecture. You can start
with vCPE. For example, replace your stack of equipment, such as physical routers,
firewalls, and/or load balancers, with a suite of software that includes routing, VPN,
firewall, NAT and other services. You can load it onto an existing server at any site
and manage it remotely.
But you still have places in your network that are the classic edge, with a physical
router or switch that embodies and delivers these network services. And there will
always be places where there is value in having a physical expression of the edge.
Can you get the value of virtualization, but in the physical network edge?
The classic edge is changing. Traditionally, to provide services at the physical edge,
we would stack up edge switches, and each one needed to have all the services you
needed at that location. The need for homogeneity among the switches means you
spend a lot more money than you should, which may make your vendor happy but
isn’t delivering value to your users.
So a step towards the new edge is a hyper edge architecture, which allows you to
mix and match low cost, low performance switches with higher cost feature reach
switches. You can get the benefits of virtualization, in that you can imbue the whole
bundle with the full set of capabilities, just by having that capability on one of the
devices. Instead of the stack being defined by its least common denominator, it’s
now defined by its most feature-rich member.
Or as a really easy first step, just make sure your edge device is SDN ready and able
to be managed by openflow and your SDN controller. Even if you don’t use the
programmability today, it will be there for you in the future. You need an edge
device that supports SDN protocols alike OpenFlow and WXLan, and management
protocols like sFlow. You can use this capability to programmatically control your
physical edge. It’s like SDN on training wheels. You can experiment with SDN
protocols without having to change your entire network configuration.
The point is, there are many ways to get started on your journey to the New IP, and
to start getting value today.
6. Why Brocade?
Brocade was born in 1995….at the start of the last big transition.
Today we’re a $2.3B company with #1 market share position in the SAN switching
market and #2 overall in the data center. 70% of our revenue comes data center
storage networking, where we are the undisputed leaders in Ethernet Fabrics and
we have 70% share of the SAN switching market (Cisco has the other 30%), We’re
the undisputed leaders here because no one is better at Brocade in helping
companies connect heterogeneous data storage environments and move their data
among these different devices and protocols. Our partners include EMC, HP, IBM,
Dell, HDS and others. Partnering is at Brocade’s core.
Nearly every Fortune 500 company and major organization around the world relies
on Brocade technology in the data center to support their most businesses, the ones
that require high performance and high availability.
But now the market is in transition again. The pressures cloud, mobile applications,
the drive to be a digital business, and security concerns have strained the old IP
networks technically and constrained business innovation, forcing companies to
rethink their infrastructure strategy. And Brocade may an early bet on open
technologies to meet these new business needs.
Brocade’s strategy is built around the New IP.
Our virtual services platform includes a virtual router, stateful firewall, VNP and
NAT in a single software suite. We also offer virtual loadbalancing and application
delivery control. We just launched the industry’s first multivendor ODL controller.
Download them for free off our website and start gaining experience and immediate
value. More than 1.5 million routers have been downloaded so far, with an
estimated 100 million hours of production time.
And Brocade has the only vRouter and network software suite built from the ground
up to run on the Intel chip, not ported to it after original design. Which is why it has
the industry’s best performance, independently verified to do 80Gbps line rate on a
single server using 3 Intel cores.
Brocade has the only ODL controller that can manage our own equipment as well as
other vendors. We use open APIs as the northbound interface to ensure your
orchestration layer can translate business needs into machine language.
Our VDX data center switch, and our ICX campus router, are open flow enabled and
ready for your move to SDN. Among many thing, the VDX family offers a new high
7. density, 40G switch that will soon scale to 100G, in a one RU configuration. We can
translate to and from VXLAn protocols to allow you to integrate and mix and match
your installed environments and connect them to your controller, which is
particularly useful in NSX environments. (This is called VTEP, and Brocade does it
better than any other vendor). That’s a powerful pizza box with remarkable density.
A big difference between us and other vendors is our commitment to line rate
performance, where others focus on over-subscription. This is why you find
Brocade in data centers that demand highest performance and reliability.
In virtualized environments, extensible vLAN tunnels disappear from the network’s
vision…you can see the packet on each end, but you can’t track it through the tunnel.
Which, from a security perspective, isn’t great. Brocade’s VDX can do this with half
the number of steps (using RIOT) where other vendors require twice as many steps.
This is particularly helpful in VMWare NSX environments, as is our integration with
vRealize.
And of course, we have the leading fabric in the industry. The software used in this
fabric (called VCS) is in its fifth generation, with rich support for SDN and
virtualized environments at both layer 2 and layer 3. It scales out and up better
than any fabric in the industry, there is no trade off between scale and latency.
When you purchase Brocade products, we offer the option of Brocade Network
Subscription, which lets you pay as you use without a term commitment and with
the ability to upgrade at any time. In fact, for most companies, the monthly opex on
your existing maintenance contract for your old data center or campus IP network
will get you a brand new network, one that provides the familiarity of the old IP and
the benefits of the New IP.
Only Brocade is conflict free in its commitment to the New IP. We have the leading
virtual routing platform, the best ODL controller, and the leading fabric. We want to
help you move to the New IP, in your time and on your terms.
The only question now is where you want to start the journey.
