Industry Leadership

• Cloud: an introduction without the hype
• SDN, Network Virtualization, NFV … and cloud
• A shout out for OpenStack Pakistan
Agenda

Cloud(ed) thinking!
debunking the myth of “Cloud”

• Excess capacity/Under utilized servers
• Machine & Network virtualization
• Monetization opportunity through renting
How the Cloud Business Model started

SDN, Network Virtualization, and NFV

Objective: Make X Programmable
thus easily change-able, reconfigurable
Tradeoff: Performance, but worth it
e.g. Radio, Storage, hardware,
NETWORKING
Software defined X

• Break CP-DP association
• Open up the platform
• Define CP in software

Benefit:
future-proof to protocols

What is virtualization?
taking a physical resource
slice/dice it by using ..... wait for it
Software!
What then is Network Virtualization?
18
Virtualizing x ↔ SDx

The Network Virtualization (NV) Vision
19

Location of VM and communication to network elements
use a SDN/centralized controller to distribute state
Physical network elements will change packet headers
use tunneling to encapsulate VM traffic (NVGRE, VXLAN, STT)
NV Challenges … solved by SDN

Cloud and NFV
How are these even related!

3GPP Communication ecosystem

Telecom and Provider Networks
Access network Core DC (Private cloud)
Internet
Classifier
Video acc
VoIP
??
Network Service chains
metro Ethernet

• Replace hardware network
appliances with software
• Deployable over commodity
machines
• Cost savings; no vendor lock-in
ETSI and Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
vCPE Classifier
Video acc
VoIP
??
Service chains
Each service network function now a VM or a set of VMs

Legacy Limitation
• Physical install appliance/site
• Inefficient asset utilization
• Development is time
consuming, upgrade difficult
• Limits modularity, vendor
choice
Benefits of NFV
• Flexibility / Extensibility
• High asset utilization
• Continuously deployed /upgraded
• Achieve Modularity
• Opens the competitive ' landscape
• Innovative Ecosystem
The NFV Value proposition

NFV architecture
Data-center/cloud infra
CMS (e.g. OpenStack)
PLUMgrid

Carrier grade software (99.999% reliable)
use clusters and load balance
How: Network virtualization, with SDN for flexibility
Packet processing at line rates, latency and jitter
high speed packet processing on commodity machines
How: SR-IOV, DPDK, IO Visor
Challenges for NFV

Mobile Broadband Experience
Everywhere with more video, higher
speeds, and wide scale availability
Mass Market Personalized TV
with big data analytics helping to shape the
video experience
Critical M2M Communication
bandwidth and latency demands on the
network
5G Use cases and NFV
29
Flexibility to deploy Network functions
close to source, on demand
