Avaya’s SDN Goal

Enable simple and agile service delivery for applications and users

across any combination of physical and virtual components.

Software-Defined Networking


Avaya’s SDN Strategy

1. Leverage OpenStack to enable rapid service creation via a common orchestration interface

2. Deploy Fabric Connect (an enhanced implementation of Shortest Path Bridging) to link virtual/physical infrastructure and enable flexible network services at any scale

3. Provide public access (APIs) allowing for customized interaction with Fabric Connect

4. Extend orchestration and Fabric Connect to deliver end-to-end service creation and delivery

5. Incorporate additional tools (middleware and policy) that automate service creation and delivery through interaction with the application layer

Why Waiting Isn’t Working

90% of businesses are hurt by the complexities of their networks

IT waits 27 days to get a network change window

Businesses spend 9 months each year waiting for IT to deliver a change window

82% of companies had downtime caused by change errors to the core

80% of companies lost revenue in 2013 as a result of downtime from network change errors.

1 in 5 companies fired staff as a result of downtime caused by change errors

Today’s Data Center Silos

Independent provisioning of: Virtual Machines Server Adapters Storage Partitions Networks Appliances

Equates to: Delayed time-to-service Complexity across disparate

systems and functional teams Certain elements have evolved

while other haven’t Mix of physical and virtual elements Network clearly lagging

Example Applications

CRM Web App’s HR

Compute Network Storage L4-7 Virtual appliances


The Evolution to the Software-Defined Data Center

Virtualization of infrastructure and service components, by application

Common orchestration via single, common user interface

Goals: Provide equivalent capability and

reliability to existing hardware environments

Allow applications to span both physical and virtual resources

Achieved by the integration of Orchestration & Fabric

Integrated Orchestration

Software-Defined Data Center

Evolution not Revolution

Fabric to interconnect disparate resource pools

Example Applications

CRM Web App’s HR


OpenStack for Orchestration

• Open source software for building private and public clouds

• Global community of over 10k contributors from 125 countries

• Delivers a scalable cloud operating system

What is it?

• Enables centralized control of resources (compute, storage, and networking) with a single graphical interface

• Offers consistent operations in a multi-vendor Data Center environment (multiple hypervisors, storage array’s etc)

SDN Controller Automates Network Provisioning and Policies

Partner Integration with VMWare, Storage


A Closer Look at the NetworkThe challenge with the current VLAN model

Use of VLAN’s can lead to “islands” – stranded resources

Virtual appliance requirements – service chaining and mobility

Not flexible – topology dependence

Hop by hop service provisioning

Limited to 4096 VLANs

Too many touch points and lack of

scale

How to move VMs across subnets or Data Centers?

Loops

VLAN model is complex, rigid and lacks scale


The Power of Avaya Fabric ConnectAvaya Fabric Connect solves current VLAN challenges

Creates the virtual backplane for the DC

Logical topology separate from physical

Unrestricted VM mobility across DCs

End-point provisioning 16 million service

instances Integrated multi-

tenancy

End-point provisioning with massive

scale

Load-balancedLoop-free network

VM mobility across subnets and across Data Centers

Network as agile as the virtualized compute
