Market Report | 2016 Mega NFV Report Pt. 1: MANO and NFVI market summary Introduction – NFV Platforms Grow Up Welcome to the 2016 Mega Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Report Pt. 1: MANO and NFVI, which gives you a full update into the trends and progress of the NFV market. The hallmark of NFV is that it can deliver network functionality via software running on industry-standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. The main advantages are that it can provide networking needs of a service provider or enterprises’ application on standard server and storage infrastructures. New services do not require new hardware infrastructure – simply software installation. NFV decouples network services from the hardware that delivers them. As a result, functions, such as network address translation (NAT), firewalling, intrusion detection, domain name service (DNS), and even complete suites like EPC (Evolved Packet Core) services can be delivered in software and deployed on general purpose appliances. This gives organizations a lot more flexibility in the way they design, deploy and manage their network services. History: Beginnings in the ETSI ISG NFV originated in the service provider community as operators looked for ways to cut costs and accelerate the roll out of profitable services to monetize their networks and grow their revenues. Hardware-based network appliances, which are typically expensive and complex to deploy and manage, were limiting the providers’ ability to consolidate functionality and quickly trial new services. By using a virtualized environment, providers wanted to be able to deploy network functionality whenever and wherever it was needed; they didn’t want to be tied to the capabilities of a specific appliance or topology. They felt if they could decouple the network services from the hardware, it would allow them to deploy networking components that could truly fit and support a fully virtualized infrastructure, including servers, storage and even other networks. As NFV gained momentum, operators gathered within the European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s (ETSI) and created the Industry Specification Group (ISG) for NFV to accelerate the progress of virtualizing network functions. Launched in January of 2013, the ETSI ISG for NFV has been working to develop the requirements and architecture of virtualized network functions in a telecommunication’s network. It included these components of the NFV framework: • Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) – The software implementation of a network function. We will have more detailed analysis in Part 2 of this series of NFV reports, which will be published in mid-April. • NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) – The physical resources (compute, storage, network) and the virtual instantiations that make up the infrastructure. • NFV Management and Orchestration (NFV MANO) – The management and control layer that focuses on all the virtualization-specific management tasks required throughout the lifecycle of the VNF. © 2016 SDNCentral LLC.

Let’s look at the technologies/solutions contained within each component (functional block) of an NFV architecture. Since the original ETSI model for NFV was released, some operators have clamored for a more rapid and organic development of NFV platforms. Some operators have even put together their own technology programs, including developing their own open source projects which they then donate to the community. Managing NFV MANO and Beyond So, how do we make sense of this new world of NFV and MANO? This report presents an overview of the emerging NFV architectures and designs, leading use cases applications, and technology supplied by vendors in the NFV market. Our analysis includes examination of hundreds of our news and analysis articles, in-depth interviews we have conducted with technology vendors and end users, and the results of the SDxCentral NFV Survey, which was posted on the SDxCentral site. This survey had 79 end-user respondents, including service providers, (46%), cloud service providers (14%), enterprise end users (14%) and a variety of others (24%) from user communities. In addition to an overview of the technology and an analysis of customer expectations, we also collected data from almost 100 companies. The product information from technology vendors is available at the end of this report. (Editor’s note: This megareport has been split into two separate products – Part 1 of our 2016 Mega NFV Report covers MANO and NFVI and the second part of the series, the 2016 Mega NFV Report Pt II: VNFs and VNFCs will be released in a of couple weeks.

  • Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization: Bridging the World of Virtual Networks
    Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization: bridging the world of virtual networks Roberto Morabito Department of Communications and Networking (Comnet), Aalto University, Espoo, Finland [email protected] Abstract— Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two emerging and complementary concepts that can be considered as key players in the virtual networks world. In particular, SDN allows managing different network services through abstraction of higher-level functionality, while NFV leverages the use of virtualization technologies to virtualize specific network functions. Although SDN and NFV are considered stand-alone technologies, they are often put in relationship, because their connections, and overlapped use cases. In this paper, we present a short survey providing an overview of the two different models, highlighting the complementarities, together with the standardization activities and the open source community efforts to make these two paradigms connected to each other. Keywords—Software Defined Networking; SDN; Network Function Virtualization; NFV; I. INTRODUCTION Fig. 1. SDN architecture [4] [INTRODUCTION] à [1,2,3] The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section II, we summarize general background information B. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) about Software Defined Networking (SDN), and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Section III clarifies the distinctions between SDN and NFV, however emphasizing [6], [7] point of contact and common use cases. In Section IV, a quick overview of ongoing standardization efforts is presented, together with the activities of the Open Source community in the virtual networks world. Section V concludes the paper providing final remarks. II. BACKGROUND In this section, we provide an overview of the different approaches, which are object of the paper.

  • MANO-Deployed Virtual Router Simplifies Network Deployments
    SOLUTION BRIEF Communications Service Providers Virtual Routers MANO-Deployed Virtual Router Simplifies Network Deployments 6WIND,* Advantech,* and Cloudify* create virtual routers with simplified deployment and lifecycle management to scale networks. Italian CommSP EOLO* utilizes this solution to create a backbone mesh connecting thousands of wireless base stations. Virtual routers provide the functionality of legacy, fixed-function routers with more flexibility and lower cost. The next step for communications service providers (CommSPs) who have embraced this technology and are deploying thousands of these virtual network functions (VNFs) throughout their network is to add management and network orchestration (MANO) features that can provide better configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management functions to all of the vRouters in a network. 6WIND,* Cloudify,* and Advantech*—all Intel® Network Builders ecosystem partners—have integrated their technologies to provide a MANO-deployed vRouter solution. vRouters Need MANO A virtual router is a virtual network function (VNF) application that runs on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server platforms and replaces legacy routers that run on fixed-function hardware appliances. The use of COTS servers typically makes vRouters less expensive to purchase, while the remote deployability and life cycle management of software-based vRouters reduces the cost to operate routed networks. Virtual router companies like 6WIND have made significant progress on evolving vRouter software. With new Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and packet forwarding technology such as the open source Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), vRouters can offer the outstanding performance that CommSPs require.¹ Now, 6WIND is tackling the challenge of mass deployment and management of vRouter networks by working with MANO software from Cloudify.
