SDN PARTNER INTEGRATION: SANDVINE SDN PARTNERSHIPS SSD STRATEGY & MARKETING
SERVICE PROVIDER CHALLENGES TIME TO SERVICE PRODUCT EVOLUTION OVER THE TOP THREAT NETWORK TO CLOUD B/OSS AGILITY Lengthy service provisioning times of days to weeks IP Activation process cumbersome Lengthy new product introduction & certification times Bundles limited by physical infrastructure OTT cloud providers compete using internet Network commoditised Lack integration of Public and Private cloud offerings Leveraging network to differentiate Expensive to replace or augment current B/OSS systems Must be addressed using existing assets without costly investment in network refresh and proprietary B/OSS systems
THE EVOLUTION OF SDN Early Days: techie focus Focus: Centralize control plane and intelligence Programmability is valued as ultimate flexibility Solve network problems with this architecture Today: business solution focus Focus: Compute & big data paradigms for network SW Programmability for workflow & orchestration Solve business agility and automation Control Plane Analytics and Insight ITSM & B/OSS DC/Cloud orchestration Centralized policy, provisioning and analytics OpenFlow Open standards-based, scalable resilient control Data Plane Dynamically inserted and scaled network services Interoperable physical and virtual devices
SDN-EVOLVED SOLUTIONS
VIRTUALIZED DATA CENTER SDN Solution For: DATA CENTER Non-scalable, non-agile resource and application mgmt Manual virtual networks configuration (VLANs) & policy Static network service provisioning Elastic, agile resource and application management Orchestrated virtual networks, compute, storage and apps Dynamic overlay networks and service chaining TRADITIONAL DATACENTERS VIRTUALIZED DATACENTERS Firewalls Load-Balancer VLANS VLANS VIRTUALIZED Physical s Local Hard Drives FINANCE HR MARKETING FINANCE HR MARKETING Use cases Enterprise virtual private cloud Agile service provider IaaS cloud Hybrid: private/public cloud connect DC network to WAN network (LSP) overlay mapping Service provider elastic network service pools (NFV) Enterprise/Internet/DC virtual network interconnect ISTM and B/OSS integration for IT or service workflow automation
VNFS AT THE EDGE SDN Solution For: EDGE Physical service appliances vs. virtual services on x86 pools Service scale up vs. service scale out (improves: HA, elasticity) Static router configurations vs. Dynamic service chain controller Manual provisioning vs. API automated via B/OSS workflow (lowers time to service) MOBILE EDGE Local Scalable Virtual Services on x86 Distributed Scalable Virtual Service on x86 EDGE POP Use cases BROADBAND EDGE BUSINESS EDGE EDGE POP Universal edge router model across cable/dsl broadband, mobile packet core, and business edge Managed service provider vcpe Service Load Balancing CORE Distributed Scalable Virtual Service on x86 Service provider value-added business and subscriber services through self-serve portal CDN cache placement and selection Virtual Network Function (VNF) Examples: Infrastructure: Addressing (NAT), load balancing, secure tunneling Security: Content filtering, IPS, SFW, ALG, Anti-virus/malware, UTM Optimization: Content cache & delivery, WAN acceleration, transcode/transform Monitoring: DPI, Intercept/tap, SLA, analysis and reporting Managed CPE: hosted and managed services like DNS, DHCP, routing, etc. Communication: VoIP, SBC, Video and Other Communication Services
CONTRAIL OVERVIEW
Orchestrator REST Network virtualization solution: SDN controller, virtual router, analytics engine, and published northbound APIs. Apache 2.0-licensed open source code Open standards-based protocols Simple, scalable networks for cloud and NFV From carrier-grade Juniper Networks Contrail codebase released Sept 2013 SDN CONTROLLER Control VM VM VM BGP Federation SDN Controller Config Analytics Control XMPP BGP + Netconf IP fabric (underlay) XMPP BGP Clustering VM VM VM Contrail Controller Hypervisor + OpenContrail vrouter (L2 & L3) MPLS over GRE or VXLAN Qfabric/QFX/EX or any IP underlay switches MX (any gateway routers)
UNDERSTAND THE OVERLAY ARCHITECTURE Orchestrator BUILT FROM THE GROUND-UP FOR: SDN CONTROLLER Control SDN Controller Configuration Analytics Always-On, Carrier-Class Cloud No five or seven nines, its always available! In-service upgrade without any downtime Scale out without the management burden VM VM VM Control IP fabric (underlay network) VM VM VM Multi-Cloud Federation & Scalability Seamless interoperability with existing physical equipment Federation within clusters, across autonomous systems (hybrid clouds) over large scale Agility and Innovation Preserves existing investment in networking Enables abstraction and programmatic APIs required for the dynamism of new applications
SERVICE CHAINING Customer Deployment Advantages SDN CONTROLLER Control Orchestrator REST SDN Controller Configuration Analytics Control Cloud agility and economics for network services (NFV) Uniform templates for deploying any in-network services Decouple service from routing infrastructure Carrier-grade routing without the complexity of the routing protocols or manual configurations Meet dynamic systems requirements with RESTful APIs for chains creation, service sequencing, and service scaling for customized integrations with VM VM VM IP fabric (underlay network) VM VM VM Virtual Service Virtual Service Overlay establishes a serial chain through multiple virtualized services (NFV s VNFs) vnetwork to vnetwork, VM to VM, or combinations thereof
SANDVINE INTEGRATION
SANDVINE SOLUTION FOR NFV Sandvine: Targets communication service providers to increase revenues and reduce costs through detailed traffic analytics, and creation and enforcement of subscriber service and traffic management policies. vsandvine NFV solution: 3-component architecture fully virtualized and interoperable with OpenStack: OSS/BSS vspb: Subscriber Policy Broker manages subscriber profiles and stats vsde: Service Delivery Engine with B/OSS manages policy decisions vpts: Policy Traffic Switch inspects/routes traffic and enforces policy Use cases provide ease of programmability/ automation, management, and efficient resource utilization: Access vspb vpts vsde Internet Small- and large-scale SP deployments benefit from platform elasticity (e.g. <1Gbps throughput or >500Gbps throughput) Managed Business Services leveraging multi-tenancy, where each business accesses own vsandvine instance Managed ISP Services or MVNO enablement leveraging multi-tenancy where each ISP accesses own vsandvine instance Edge and cloud infrastructure deployments
SANDVINE ON CONTRAIL Use case: Managed Business Services Orchestrator B/OSS (Service Provider) Control and management plane VMs and signaling connections Enterprise Customers Contrail Controller (Juniper) vsde and vspb (Sandvine) May scale out on the x86 servers just like inline network services vpts vpts vpts Sandvine vpts component per enterprise (potentially multiple instances) Edge Router Edge Router Aggregated Access Network vpts vpts vpts SP Core / Internet Per Enterprise vsandvine managed business service Every enterprise has its own VPN and vpts in the pool of servers Managed business services are virtual network functions (VNFs) Automation, HA, load balancing are built-in the NFV solution from the Contrail service chaining features and the orchestrator Build as you grow and scale out on PoP micro DCs /pods, distributed DCs, or SP cloud without truck rolls, network reconfiguration etc.
