Open Network Ecosystem Shows Business Potential of Automated and Rapid Service
Provisioning
Düsseldorf, Germany. October 14, 2014. ADVA Optical Networking announced today
that it will be showcasing a new demonstration at the SDN and OpenFlow World
Congress that highlights the true business value of transport Software-Defined
Networking (SDN). Jointly developed with BT and ScheduALL (a resource management
solution provider), the demonstration shows how simply and rapidly service
providers can provision new services and fulfill the needs of end customers.
Built around the ADVA FSP 3000 platform and featuring Reconfigurable Add/Drop
Multiplexers (ROADMs) and the new ADVA Network Hypervisor, the demonstration
essentially virtualizes the connectivity network and integrates it into a
bandwidth-allocation application. OpenDaylight controllers are used to ensure
effective communication between the virtualized network and the higher-layer
application.
"We've worked closely with ADVA Optical Networking and ScheduALL to develop the
demonstration and underline why transport SDN is a very promising development,"
said Paul Gunning, principal researcher, BT.
In addition to showing how easy it is to activate new services in a highly
automated way, ADVA Optical Networking's joint SDN and OpenFlow World Congress
demonstration reveals how simple it is to overlay services on top of multi-layer
connectivity networks without the need for an extensive system integration
effort. The demonstration uses commercially available OpenFlow Ethernet switches
to show how new services can be provisioned in both the optical as well as the
Ethernet layer. To develop such a solution in today's networks would require
expensive and time-consuming system integration and solution-specific software
development. Something that often proves too costly for service providers to
consider. What's more, service providers also need to contemplate the openness
of the demonstration's ecosystem. OpenFlow protocols and open source
OpenDaylight controllers play an instrumental role in tying the application
software to the multi-layer connectivity network. This level of openness in
combination with standardized interfaces decouples network innovation from often
complex network integration.
"We're working with BT and ScheduALL to show the world the true potential of
transport SDN, to show the true impact it can have on both a service provider's
network and, ultimately, its bottom line," commented Christoph Glingener, CTO,
ADVA Optical Networking. "Our demonstration at the SDN and OpenFlow World
Congress is one of the first in the world to show service providers how easily
you can virtualize the connectivity network and integrate it into higher layer
applications. No more hype or discussions, no more theoretical explorations,
this demonstration clearly underscores the true possibilities of what transport
SDN can deliver in a service provider's network. The level of service
provisioning and automation is something that service providers have been moving
towards for many, many years. With the ecosystem that we're demonstrating here,
we're showing that programmability is not a single feature on a single box - it
requires interoperability and openness. It requires programmability by design."
