Challenges to Get Started with SDN Platforms

6

•! Avoid long development cycles –! Packaged HW/SW solutions, SDN-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 SDN

network? –! Do I have enough CPU capacity to keep up?



The Solution: Standard HW/SW Platform

7

•! Advantech Carrier Grade Server –! Standard 2u, dual x86 –! Hot-swappable power, fans, storage

•! Netronome NFP3240 FlowNIC –! Dual 10Gbit Ethernet –! Programmable Flow Processor for

•! OpenFlow •! SDN Overlays (VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE) •! Millions of unique flows

SDN Overlays (VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE)

8

•! Standard x86 servers available today from Advantech •! Scalable platforms from 2u to

chassis to •! Standard FlowNICs and software

for SDN compatibility •! Openflow 1.0/1.3 •! SDN Overlays (NVGRE,

VXLAN, GENEVE, MPLS, future protocols)

•! Network validation and benchmarking with Spirent •! Capacity testing, performance

benchmarking, multiple protocols and dynamic traffic generation capabilities

SDN is Available now



9

•! 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 SDN 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 SDN in your network today. •! Production equipment from Advantech, Netronome, validated by

Spirent.
