Daniel Firestone and Gabriel Silva's presentation from the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
SDN is at the foundation of all large scale networks in the public cloud, such as Microsoft Azure - at past ONSes, Microsoft has detailed how all of Azure's virtual networks, load balancing, and security operate on SDN. But how do we make a software network scale to an era of 40, 50, and 100 gigabit networks on servers, providing great performance to end customers with ever increasing VM and container scale and density?
In this presentation, Daniel Firestone and Gabriel Silva will detail Azure Accelerated Networking, using Azure's FPGA-based SmartNICs. They will show how using FPGAs, we can achieve the programmability of a software network with the performance of a hardware one. They will detail how this and other host SDN advances have led to huge performance increases for Linux VMs in particular, and Linux-based NFV appliances, giving Azure industry-leading network performance.

• What
is
Predic0ve
Failure
Analysis
(PFA)?
– Component
analysis
logic
that
can
predict
an
impending
failure
based
on
data
from
the
component
– Typically
no7fica7on
is
within
24
to
48
hours
of
a
poten7al
failure
• Benefits
– Less
unscheduled
down7me
– Bejer
overall
availability
of
the
servers
– Components
can
be
replaced
under
warranty
prior
to
a
failure
