How to Deploy Production-Ready Servers/ Appliances Today 2014 Open 2 Networking Foundation CGS-6010 Server NFP 3240 FlowNIC Spirent TestCenter OpenFlow Controller Emulation
Who Is Netronome The Network Flow Processing Company x86 Processors Flow Processors Offload network processing from x86 CPUs to Flow Processors! Programmable silicon for traffic inspection/classification/ processing Netronome FlowNIC PCIe based Network Interface Card! Highly scalable throughput at 10G/40G/100G Ethernet rates! Reclaim CPU cores/threads to run applications Pre-packaged software for Openflow, overlays, tunneling 3
Who Is Advantech High Performance x86 Servers Compact 2U design with up to 8NMCs for highest density IOs High performance, high TDP Intel quad socket Xeon platform with 32 DIMMs and 32 PCIe lanes per socket for IO and offload FlowNIC options for maximum throughput integrated load balancing / forwarding / filtering optional offload up to 4x 100GE IO support Boost performance where IO density and processing power need to be maximized E.g. network security, deep packet inspection, traffic/policy management 4
Who Is Spirent Test/Validation/Simulation of network scale, performance, benchmarks Spirent TestCenter OpenFlow Switch Emulation OpenFlow Controller Emulation: Selectable OpenFlow Version (1.0/1.3) Millions of Flows Multiple Controllers TLS Support Multi-Table Support Flow Metering Support Master / Slave Support Group Table Datapath validation
Challenges to Get Started with Platforms Avoid long development cycles! Packaged HW/SW solutions, -ready! Standard APIs (DPDK) for existing apps Avoid proprietary HW lock-in! Standard x86 CPU complex! Carrier-Grade for telco environments! Scalable portfolio for data-center/enterprise Validate Large-Scale traffic loads in advance! Can I support the number of flows/nodes in my network?! Do I have enough CPU capacity to keep up? 6
The Solution: Standard HW/SW Platform Advantech CGS x86 server Advantech Carrier Grade Server! Standard 2u, dual x86! Hot-swappable power, fans, storage Netronome NFP3240 FlowNIC! Dual 10Gbit Ethernet! Programmable Flow Processor for OpenFlow Overlays (VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE) Millions of unique flows 7 Load Balancer Classifier / Flow State Open vswitch
is Available now Standard x86 servers available today from Advantech Scalable platforms from 2u to chassis to Standard FlowNICs and software for compatibility Openflow 1.0/1.3 Overlays (NVGRE, VXLAN, GENEVE, MPLS, future protocols) Network validation and benchmarking with Spirent Capacity testing, performance benchmarking, multiple protocols and dynamic traffic generation capabilities 8
Watch our Demo! Live windows for Advantech server, Spirent C1 Show flow table being populated with 1M flows Start traffic on thousands of flows Note CPU utilization on server does not spike, due to pre-packaged HW/SW Increase traffic on active flows, up to wire speed Note CPU utilization remains low, allowing apps to run Conclusion: You don t need to invest in years of HW/SW development to deploy in your network today. Production equipment from Advantech, Netronome, validated by Spirent. 9
