  1. GENI Racks: Infrastructure Overview Heidi Dempsey March 14, 2012 www.geni.net

  2. GENI Racks GENI Racks Status ExoGENI Racks InstaGENI Racks OpenSource and International OF and Racks MesoScale Regionals and GENI core evolution Production Evolution Using the Infrastructure Agenda:

  3. GENI Racks Status • GENI Racks projects are taking place to build out the GENI Infrastructure in the US. • Racks provide reservable sliceable compute and network resources using a single Aggregate Manager. • AM API compliance • GENI v3 Rspec support • Federation with Slice Authorities (GPO, PG, PLC)

  4. GENI Racks Status • GENI Racks design based on GPO requirements. • GPO Infrastructure team will run Acceptance Tests to validate integration, experimenter and monitoring features. • GENI Racks projects timeline:

  5. GENI Racks Status • GPO software team has developed GENI AM API Acceptance Tests, now available in GCF 1.6.1: • http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/GettingGcf • http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/AmApiAcceptanceTests • Acceptance Tests are used by rack teams to verify GENI AM API compliance. • Aggregates that passed AM API acceptance tests: • PG Utah (RSpecs pass rspeclint) • PLC (RSpecs pass rspeclint) • FOAM 0.6.3

  6. GENI Racks Status • GPO Infrastructure team has defined a System Acceptance Test Plan for GENI Racks: http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIRacksHome/AcceptanceTests • System Acceptance Tests will be run on each of the GENI Racks when rack development is completed. • Focus is on : • Experimenter requirements • Integrated rack solution • Monitoring features reaching production level • As part of each GENI Racks deployment, the GPO is an initial aggregate owner and will run a delivery evaluation.

  7. GENI Racks Status • GENI Racks Projects being deployed: • ExoGENI A high performance, flexible virtual networking topologies solution including OpenFlow, that also delivers a powerful platform for multi-site cloud applications. These racks are typically deployed as an integrated part of a campus network. • InstaGENI - A mid-range, expandable GENI Racks solution that can will be deployed at a large number of campuses, delivering Internet cloud applications support, along with Openflow and VLAN networking. These racks are normally deployed outside a site firewall. • Starter Racks: Deployed by the GPO, a project to deliver an early low-end solution for GENI Racks.

  8. GENI Racks - ExoGENI • ExoGENI • High-performance GENI Racks • a partnership between RENaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), Duke and IBM. • ExoGENI racks deliver support for multi-domain cloud structure with flexible virtual networking topologies that allow combining ExoGENI, Meso-scale OpenFlow and WiMAX resources.

  9. GENI Racks - ExoGENI • ExoGENI deployment schedule 2012:

  10. GENI Racks - InstaGENI • InstaGENI • mid-range, expandable GENI Racks at large number of campuses • A small ProtoGENI cluster with OpenFlow networking and FOAM aggregate management • Typically found outside the site firewall.

  11. GENI Racks - InstaGENI • InstaGENI deployment schedule 2012:

  12. Open Source and International OF and Racks • NEC • Proposing new racks • Using NEC switches, TREMA and OpenStack • Implemented with open source community • Based on commercial components already used in GENI • OFELIA • An European Union venture with 12 industry and academic partners • Includes 5 OpenFlow campuses • Solution includes an aggregate manager that is similar to the GENI AM.

  13. Mesoscale: Building at-scale Infrastructure • GENI VLAN data plane • Public IP control plane • GENI AM API programmable interface • GENI shared monitoring and reporting • GENI operations policies and support • Brave IT staff and researchers on campuses • Brave regionals and core networks • Tools What do I need besides racks?

  14. Mesocale Overview

  15. MesoScale Spiral4 Deployments

  16. MesoScale - Utah Education Network UEN, ProtoGENI and InstaGENI:

  17. Mesoscale – Southern Crossroads SOX OF Regional

  18. Regionals: CENIC (California) CENIC proposed OpenFlow Topology

  19. Regionals - Midwest OpenFlow Crossroads MOXI Architecture – Aggregating Regionals

  20. Regionals - Shared Fiber MOXI I-Light Architecture

  21. Expanding regional testbeds - GpENI + KanREN

  22.

  23. University of Utah, Princeton University, GPO, Northwestern University, Clemson University, Georgia Tech , University of Kansas , New York University University of Victoria BCNET CANARIE GENI Core backbone InstaGENI Spiral 4 NOX SL/MREN NYSERNET UEN GPN MAGPI SOX

  24. ExoGENI Spiral 4 FIU tbd

  25. NLR OpenFlow Expansion

  26. Internet2 OpenFlow Expansion and NDDI

  27. OpenFlow integration and test • Working closely with ONF and Stanford • FOAM AM now at all Spiral 4 OpenFlow sites • New firmware upgrades for some switches • Stanford campus expansion and CENIC migration • Any-to-any OpenFlow connections in Spiral 4

  28. Evolving Production Support • Help: • help@geni.net mailing list • GMOC helpdesk (Marianne Chitwood at Experimenter Tools and Services GEC13 session) http://gmoc.grnoc.iu.edu/gmoc/index/support.html • GEC "coding" sprints • IRC/chat (informal) • Prototype monitoring and status for Meso-scale sites: • http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com (at GPO) • http://gmoc-db.grnoc.iu.edu (at GMOC) • much more new coming with GENI Rack deployments • GPO working with GMOC and GENI Rack Teams to get production level monitoring and statistics. • Implement the GMOC Concept of Operationsby refining the GMOC API format.

  29. Evolving Production Support Meso-scale site statistics from GEC12-GEC13 • GPO PG Usage statistics: • Overall slice creation attempts: 1992 (Successes: 1989 Failures: 3 ) • Experimenter slices: 265 ( 29 distinct non-GPO PG users ) • Site Availability Statistics:

  30. Evolving Production Support • Defining incidence response procedures Legal, Law Enforcement and Regulatory Plan • Emergency Stop Procedure • Security and GENI Legal, Law Enforcement and Regulatory Contacts: • Adam Slagell (slagell@illinois.edu) primary • Steve Schwab (schwab@isi.edu)

  31. Using the Infrastructure • Experiments • Slice Around the World! • A GENI international collaboration • To include various types of racks located in 4 continents to provide resources into a common slice • Sites in Japan (CoreLab), Germany (G-Lab), and Brazil (LARC) • Several US GENI Rack sites (TBD) • To take place July 2012 at GEC 14 • What do you want to do?
