1 Asia Pacific Partner Summit 2015 Virtualization : What is means to the network and how Ixia can ensure a successful migration ANIKET KHOSLA Bangkok, Thailand April 22, 2015

2 What does the industry want from their networks? Applications Slow to deploy High value, centralized applications, easy to deploy, ability to monetize Management Non-standard interfaces, high OPEX cost, difficult provisioning Common/Open API to manage and provision multi-vendor equipment Network Infrastructure high CAPEX cost, high complexity, proprietary, protocol soup Lower Cost

3 SDN (Software Defined Networking) Software Programmability of the Network SDN allows a controller to define how packets are forwarded by networking elements Its about the separation of control and data planes within switches/routers 3 distinct SDN features Separation of the control plane from the data plane A centralized controller and view of the network Programmability of the network by external applications Application Layer Control Layer Forwarding Layer App App App App Data Plane Network Device API Business Applications Control Plane Data Plane Network Device SDN Controller Data Plane Network Device Control and Data Plane Interface (E.g. OpenFlow) Enables Network Virtualization

4 NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) NFV aims to deploy network functions on industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) for NFV Created in 2012 Has over 80 Active members and 120 participants Benefits of NFV Reduced CAPEX/OPEX Flexibility and elasticity Reduced time-to-market Improved operational efficiency Software-oriented innovation

5 Planning Migration Why am I looking at virtualization? What are my business benefits? What do I need to virtualize and when? Do I need to virtualize everything? Improve Technology Quality 8% 7% 22% Help Grow our Business 9% Improve availability 10% 18% Better Business Service 13% 13% Add capabilities we cannot build internally Scale to demand Inexpensive Speed time to market

6 What are the concerns? PERFORMANCE SCALABILITY SECURITY VISIBILITY COMPLEXITY COST EXPERTISE

20 Testing NFV

21 High-Level NFV Framework NFV Framework

22 High-Level NFV Framework Elasticity & Service Chaining NFV New concepts and challenges VM Manager vswitch Hypervisor COTS HW NICs Drivers

23 NFV Performance Bottlenecks

24 Testing NFV using hardware IxLoad IxNetwork BreakingPoint Ixia XGS12-HS/SD Chassis 11U Form Factor For High Port Density testing 12 hot-swappable slots Ixia XM2 2U Form Factor Portable 2 hot-swappable slots PerfectStorm ONE Portable 10G,40G and 100G options Xcellon-Ultra XT/XTS Appliance 2U Rackmount 8x10G ports

25 Testing NFV using software Phantom vtap Software platform No Ixia proprietary hardware COTS hardware Use standalone or with Ixia Chassis

26 Results Solution Validate vcpe Rollout Global Telecommunications Provider Customer Profile Global telecommunications provider Over 5 million global customers spread in over 21 countries IxNetwork VE, which can be quickly instantiated in production network Tested access protocols and application performance of vcpe before roll-out to production Business / IT Challenge Running into hardware stability issues with Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) due to weather conditions in some regions Want to replace hardware based CPE to a virtual instances (vcpe) by moving certain IP functions to their network Want to run turn-up tests on vcpes when rolled to the production network Validated 100% of vcpe instances before deployment to production network Helped debug and test vcpe policy changes without truck rolls Helped provider validate first NFV rollout with confidence The product saved us considerable amount of time and money by allowing us to test virtually anywhere! We can now proceed with Phase-2 of our NFV rollout..
