This document discusses how network virtualization through NFV (network functions virtualization) can benefit rural broadband providers. NFV allows software-based virtual network functions (VNFs) to replace expensive proprietary hardware, reducing costs through operational efficiencies. It provides rural providers flexibility to innovate, quickly launch new revenue-generating services, and customize the end-user experience. NFV also offers a pay-as-you-grow model through software licensing that minimizes upfront investment risks. The document argues NFV can help rural providers compete through lower prices, while gaining agility to adapt networks as needs change over time.
Revolutionary Approach to Cell Site ActivationADVA
Spirent and ADVA propose a revolutionary approach to cell site activation using network functions virtualization (NFV). Their solution involves:
1. Using Spirent Landslide EDGE and ADVA Syncjack and Etherjack to automate pre-activation testing of the radio base station, backhaul connectivity performance, and synchronization quality.
2. Deploying their solutions as virtual network functions (VNFs) on an ADVA FSP 150 ProVM NFV device for fully automated cell site activation and in-service monitoring from a single box.
3. This reduces costs by eliminating additional test equipment and speeds up activation through automated testing of all network parameters.

Leveraging NFV Infrastructure to Drive RevenueADVA
The document discusses leveraging NFV infrastructure to drive new revenue streams. It defines NFV as replacing closed network appliances with virtual network functions that can run on any open hardware. While VNFs are typically run in the cloud, some functions need to be located in the access network for reasons like routing, security, and performance. The document proposes an NFVIaaS model where a facilities-based operator provides a server with virtual infrastructure in the access network, allowing service providers to host their VNFs locally without on-site equipment. This creates new revenue opportunities for operators and lower costs for service providers.

Achieving Network Deployment Flexibility with Mirantis OpenStackEric Zhaohui Ji
This is the deck presented for Intel Network Builder.
No longer do we live in a world where you can build your networks around expensive, proprietary pieces of hardware and software. Technology moves so fast that you need to be able to keep up, and that means changing your network on demand. But how can you achieve that kind of flexibility while still maintaining the crucial aspects of performance and reliability?
In this webinar we'll look at the network agility provided by OpenStack, which enables you to gain all of the advantages of software defined networking and Network Functions Virtualization without having to compromise on basic requirements. We'll discuss:
•How Mirantis OpenStack enables enterprise and telecom networking
•The features your OpenStack distribution needs to enable NFV
•Using DPDK and SR-IOV to enhance Virtual Network Function performance
•Achieving a Highly Available OpenStack control plane with Multi-rack deployment
The success of today’s organizations and enterprises highly depends on reliable and secure connectivity. Enterprise connectivity exists between different branches, between a central offi ce and geographically widespread points of activity and between an enterprise and the public internet. The connectivity enables faster, more secure transactions and improved productivity by sharing information between entities,
no matter where they are.
6WINDGate™ - High Performance Networking for Data Centers6WIND
The document discusses 6WIND's packet processing software, 6WINDGate. It aims to deliver the highest performance networking for virtualized environments through an accelerated virtual switch. 6WINDGate provides transparency, scalability, and hardware independence. It increases VM density and enables new high performance east-west cloud services by resolving bottlenecks and scaling linearly with CPU cores. This allows 3x more VMs, 3x more performance, and 70% less servers with a ROI in less than 3 months.
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.

Open optical edge connecting mobile access networksADVA
Generic optics, developed for applications different from RANs, may not fit the requirements of the mobile transport network. Optical components natively conceived for radio access and based on technologies driven by its requirements (right optics at the right time and the right cost) would accelerate the pace at which RANs are deployed and decrease the relative cost of the optics as part of the total RAN solution. In this session, Jim Zou looked at how emerging innovation is enhancing networking energy efficiency. While today’s solutions focus on high-end performance and end user experience, tomorrow’s infrastructure must also balance energy efficiency with varying traffic loads, and designs focused on sustainability.

From leased lines to optical spectrum servicesADVA
This document discusses optical spectrum as a service, which allows communication service providers (CSPs) to sell unused optical spectrum. Advances in coherent transport and flexgrid open line systems now enable CSPs to segment spectrum into slices and assign them to different users. This transforms spectrum into a new service that CSPs can offer beyond traditional leased lines. Realizing spectrum as a service requires an open line system with programmable spectrum allocation, flexible grid technology, service demarcation functions, and network slicing through open control and management. Several examples demonstrate how spectrum services are being implemented in multi-domain and multi-operator networks.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
