Avaya Application Driven Networking Vision – An Evolution of Today's SDN Concepts Randy Cross Director PLM Avaya Networking @cross_randy
It’s On! • A little friendly competition among presenters • Help @cross_randywin • @punbehagen is hard to spell anyway • Tweet this session with #AvayaATF and #ADN • Best Session Tweet of the week wins a prize • Feel free to come see me in my other sessions to improve your chances (and mine) • Collaboration Pod for Avaya Aura VE (#CPod) • Data Center Best Practices (#DCdoneright)
Where do you fit into this picture..? Early Promoters
Complement existing capabilities & investments… Evolution, Not Revolution
Application-Driven Networking: Definition • Architecture that delivers integration between applications and the network • Encompasses all of Avaya’s portfolios • Builds of existing capabilities (fabric, policy, & performance monitoring) • Solves a real problem of application awareness, location, and performance correlate with network intelligence • Automate IT from SME to the Fortune 100 • An evolution of SDN: • Delivers QoE for a flexible workforce while fully automating what is currently manual control of the user-application interface • Is an enterprise-wide architecture as opposed to simply something that is Data Center-centric • Proactively husbands application capabilities and network resources to match policy-based service delivery
Access Profiling Fine-grained understanding, at the Edge of the Network… • Integrate highly granular, multi-faceted profiling • Person • Device • Access • Location • Schedule • Leverage to provision & optimize end-to-end services • Today: Identity Engines 7
Unified Access Confluence of the ‘Access Anywhere’ & ‘BYOD’… • Plethora of new, non-traditional Wireless devices • Enhanced by software-defined networking • Virtualization of the control function for higher scalability • Integration of proactive quality assurance tools • Satisfy escalating expectations 8
Pervasive Real-Time Experience Assurance User expectations are on the rise… • Proven professional services capabilities • Embed smart agents pervasively throughout the network • Reporting application-by-application performance metrics • Real-time holistic view used to tune expectations, features, & schedule network resources • Today: SLAMon 9
Agile Application Customization Linking systems to infrastructure should be simple… • Leverages a broad eco-system of independent developers • Fosters innovation and competitive advantage • Preferred devices, across multiple applications • Facilitates interaction with business processes • Decisions are faster, and productivity is accelerated • Today: Collaboration Environment 10
Open-Source Resource Integration No ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution for multiple disparate resources… • Leverage the power of open-source developments tools • Management, Provisioning, Automation, and Orchestration • Extensible for Networking, Compute, and Storage, with open APIs • Tools must offer both functionality and agility 11
Data Center Automation Fully realize the possibilities of virtualization… • Network has lagged behind the • virtualization of compute and storage • Direct, automated integration with VM administration tools • Seamlessly integrate a holistic virtualization solution • Extend with enhanced automation and optimization • Today: VPS 12
Storage Convergence & Integration Crucial to any next-generation Data Center strategy • Reliable, efficient content deposit and retrieval is vital • New application architectures are driving radical new storagerequirements • Pioneering innovation in an area of infrastructure at need of new thinking • Revolutionary new take on a critical resource 13
Fabric Networking Delivering an End-to-end, Service-ready Fabric • Cloud-grade & extensible, from DC to Campus & beyond • End-to-end network virtualization • Topology abstraction, service orchestration, & SDN-ready • Designed for next-generation networking, free of legacy constraints 14
