Brocade and Check Point Play Key Roles in Showcasing Dramatic New Approach to
Delivering IP-Based Business Services
Munich, Germany. March 12, 2015. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that it
will host a joint demonstration at the MPLS SDN World Congress showcasing how
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) can be used to establish a virtual
customer premise solution. Developed along with Brocade and Check Point, the
demonstration reveals how IP-based business services can be deployed without the
need for expensive truck rolls or the installation of additional costly physical
devices. Using this NFV-based approach enables services such as routing,
firewalling and security to be activated through a simple point-and-click GUI.
Such easy service creation is radically different to today's hardware-centric
process.
"The networking industry stands on the cusp of a transformative wave. The long-
held promise of true flexibility and rapid service provisioning is almost upon
us," said Christoph Glingener, CTO, ADVA Optical Networking. "This is why our
joint demonstration at MPLS SDN World Congress is so important. We're moving
beyond the hype of NFV to show the industry exactly what's possible. Along with
our technology partners, Brocade and Check Point, we'll provide a hands-on
understanding of how NFV can be used to replace dedicated hardware with software
applications. This approach will enable service providers to explore new
business opportunities and exploit new revenue potential. This demonstration
will prove to be an important step if the industry is to truly embrace NFV-
centric networks."
ADVA Optical Networking's joint demonstration is underpinned by a new Network
Interface Device (NID) that is currently in development. The advanced NID
features a built-in server that enables the creation of several virtual network
functions in the device itself. When deployed at the customer premise, the NID
enables the rapid deployment of new IP-based business services to the end user
without the need for any further hardware or onsite visits. These NIDs will
prove critical for any service provider seeking to develop NFV-centric networks,
especially with the associated need for more sophisticated network termination
equipment. The NID's point-and-click GUI ensures easy service provisioning and
has been developed using open source OpenStack software. This open approach
provides a seamless path to network integration.
Moving from a hardware-centric customer premise solution to a software-focused
approach represents a paradigm shift for the networking industry. Until now, the
development of new network edge functions required the installation of separate
physical appliances. The associated capital and operating costs of these
appliances are significant. However, with NFV at the network's edge, these costs
are dramatically reduced. Individual services and the associated physical
devices are collapsed onto a single software-driven NID. ADVA Optical
Networking's joint demonstration will be available to view at the MPLS SDN World
Congress from 17(th) March until 20(th) March, 2015. To discuss the
demonstration in more detail or to arrange a private viewing, please contact:
