This Intel Network Builders Webinar is on Carrier-class environments for NFV lifecycle management. Communications service providers see the strong business upside from deploying NFV-based services. NFV promises to lower costs, simplify network operations, and usher in a new era of rapid service innovation. However, there are still concerns about running mission-critical, revenue- generating network functions as software applications on general purpose compute platforms rather than purpose-built appliances. Intel, Wind River and Overture explore what is required to create a carrier grade, high-performance environment for hosting virtual network functions (VNFs). Learn how to: • Create a high-performance, high reliability NFV infrastructure • Identify essential attributes needed for carrier-class management and orchestration • Optimize the placement of VNFs and the benefits of distributed and centralized models • Support the complete service life cycle in a VNF-agnostic service environment

Carrier Grade Service Reliability
 Typical requirements for telecom networks
– Deterministic interrupt latency of 10μs or less, for virtualization in
most stringent CPE and access sections of network
– At least 500km geographical redundancy for continued operation
in natural disaster scenarios
– Detection of failed VMs in less than one second with automatic
restart and no silent failures
– Automatic restart and recovery from host failures
– Fully-redundant, auto-synchronized control plane
– Accelerated live VM migration to ensure zero downtime in
planned maintenance
 Solution must be developed using TL9000 methodology
to guarantee six-nines reliability
– Can’t do this with enterprise software designed for IT applications

Carrier Grade Reliability Protects Revenues
 Need to minimize churn
– Customers conditioned to expect “always-on” services
– Telecom standard = 99.9999% uptime for services (six 9s)
 Maximum 32 seconds per year average downtime
– Enterprise software for IP applications: 99.9% uptime (three 9s)
 Maximum 526 minutes per year average downtime
 Cost of downtime is significant
– Typical cost = $11,000 per minute, per server in SLA penalties
– With IT-class infrastructure: almost Six Million dollars per year
per server
