Expanded ADVA FSP 150 Carrier Ethernet Portfolio Spearheads New Vision for
Service-Centric Networks
Munich, Germany. March 18, 2015. ADVA Optical Networking unveiled today its
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) strategy to the industry. The strategy
will be spearheaded by an extended ADVA FSP 150 Carrier Ethernet portfolio that
will include a number of new Network Interface Devices (NIDs). The new NIDs will
be critical for service providers that are seeking to fully exploit the benefits
of NFV-based networks. In recent weeks, ADVA Optical Networking has showcased
how its NFV technology can be used to virtualize customer premise equipment and
to create virtualized radio access backhaul networks. With the first product
announcement expected in only a few weeks, ADVA Optical Networking is currently
engaging various service providers to show how they can migrate from a hardware-
based network to a service-centric model.
"The migration to a service-centric network has profound implications on the
functions that various network elements need to provide," said Christoph
Glingener, CTO, ADVA Optical Networking. "Replacing single-purpose hardware
appliances with network-based software functions is not a small task. In
particular the NID-space is undergoing significant change, leading to a new set
of functional requirements. Advanced service assurance, security and openness
are the cornerstones of successful NFV implementations. Our NFV strategy was
defined and sharpened by intense cooperation as well as early demo testing with
leading technology providers, operators and also proactive engagement with
standards bodies and industry forums."
ADVA Optical Networking's approach to NFV provides the industry's smoothest and
safest path towards a service-centric network. Essential functions, such as
advanced operations, administration and maintenance, bridge the gap between
virtual and physical network functions and assure maximum network performance
independent of the software appliances running on top. An advanced set of
security features respond to the blurring boundaries between customer and
operator domains and provide operators and end users with peace of mind. What's
more, ADVA Optical Networking's NFV strategy is centered on openness. The
company's open architecture is fully standardized and not limited to vendor-
specific orchestration solutions.
"We've worked closely with the industry and our customers to develop our NFV
strategy. It's this close interworking that has helped us engineer a number of
key features that will prove critical," commented Stephan Rettenberger, VP,
marketing, ADVA Optical Networking. "Our customers want complete freedom to
allocate servers both at the edge and in the core. And this is exactly what
we're doing. We're the only vendor in the industry adding the necessary security
and optimization features necessary for core hosting. We're also passionate
about openness and are committed to open software in the virtualization layer.
We're opposed to binding customers with proprietary network integration
interfaces. No limitations, no imposed restrictions. Just openness. Ultimately,
it's this commitment to openness and flexibility in server location that has
driven our entire NFV process."
