  1. Introduction to Avaya SDDC Randy Cross Sr. Director, Fabric & Infrastructure PLM

  2. Software-Defined Networking Avaya’s SDN Goal Enable simple and agile service delivery for applications and users across any combination of physical and virtual components.

  3. Avaya’s SDN Strategy • Leverage OpenStack to enable rapid service creation via a common orchestration interface • Deploy Fabric Connect (an enhanced implementation of Shortest Path Bridging) to link virtual/physical infrastructure and enable flexible network services at any scale • Provide public access (APIs) allowing for customized interaction with Fabric Connect • Extend orchestration and Fabric Connect to deliver end-to-end service creation and delivery • Incorporate additional tools (middleware and policy) that automate service creation and delivery through interaction with the application layer

  4. SDN Use-Case:Software-Defined Data Center

  5. Avaya Networking • Eliminate Overlays • Eliminate Touch Points • Automate Provisioning • Embrace Open Source • Single Architecture • Proactive Monitoring • Policy and Control SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF SOPHISTICATION - LEONARDO DE vINICI ? -No Citation

  6. Challenges SDN is meant to address • Network Complexity • Changes in Applications Architecture • Virtual Machine Mobility • Multi-Touch Configuration • Scale-Out Connectivity • Time-to-Service; Agility and Simplicity • Multi-Tenant • Multi-Vendor Technologies • Vendor Dependence • Policy and Quality

  7. Why Waiting Isn’t Working • 90%of businesses are hurt by the complexities of their networks • IT waits 27 days to get a network change window • Businesses spend 9 months each year waiting for IT to deliver a change window • 82% of companies had downtime caused by change errors to the core • 80% of companies lost revenue in 2013 as a result of downtime from network change errors. • 1 in 5 companies fired staff as a result of downtime caused by change errors Source: IT professionals across the US and Great Britain.

  8. Today’s Data Center Silos • Independent provisioning of: • Virtual Machines • Server Adapters • Storage Partitions • Networks • Appliances • Equates to: • Delayed time-to-service • Complexity across disparate systems and functional teams • Certain elements have evolved while other haven’t • Mix of physical and virtual elements • Network clearly lagging Example Applications CRM Web App’s HR Compute Network Storage L4-7 Virtual appliances

  9. Software-Defined Data Center The Evolution to the Software-Defined Data Center • Virtualization of infrastructure and service components, by application • Common orchestration via single, common user interface • Goals: • Provide equivalent capability and reliability to existing hardware environments • Allow applications to span both physical and virtual resources • Achieved by the integration of Orchestration & Fabric Example Applications CRM Web App’s HR Integrated Orchestration Fabric to interconnect disparate resource pools Evolution not Revolution

  10. What is it? Values OpenStack for Orchestration • Open source software for building private and public clouds • Global community of over 10k contributors from 125 countries • Delivers a scalable cloud operating system • Enables centralized control of resources (compute, storage, and networking) with a single graphical interface • Offers consistent operations in a multi-vendor Data Center environment (multiple hypervisors, storage array’s etc)

  11. OpenStack at a Glance Horizon Dashboard (Graphical Orchestration Interface) Cinder/Swift Nova Neutron Hypervisor Network Storage Orchestrates VM resources Orchestrates network services and appliances using VLANs (fka Quantum) Orchestrates block and storage resources

  12. Software Defined Network Infrastructure • Deploy Application Clouds at Massive Scale • Avaya Cloud Operating System • Avaya Middleware driving end to end business process integration • SDN Controller Automates Network Provisioning and Policies • Partner Integration with VMWare, Storage

  13. The challenge with the current VLAN model A Closer Look at the Network Too many touch points and lack of scale Loops How to move VMs across subnets or Data Centers? VLAN model is complex, rigid and lacks scale • Use of VLAN’s can lead to “islands” – stranded resources • Virtual appliance requirements – service chaining and mobility • Not flexible – topology dependence • Hop by hop service provisioning • Limited to 4096 VLANs

  14. Avaya Fabric Connect solves current VLAN challenges The Power of Avaya Fabric Connect End-point provisioning with massive scale Load-balanced Loop-free network VM mobility across subnets and across Data Centers Network as agile as the virtualized compute • Creates the virtual backplane for the DC • Logical topology separate from physical • Unrestricted VM mobility across DCs • End-point provisioning • 16 million service instances • Integrated multi-tenancy

  15. Avaya SDDC Value:Cloud Services, in Minutes, with Massive Scale Turning up a new service: Create Application Profile 1 What it looks like: 2 Create Domain Automation of service provisioning Launch Application 3 Avaya Orchestration Suite with OpenStack plug-in Leverage Fabric to build the end to end service 4 Virtual Service Network Data Center1 Data Center2 Private Cloud Storage Storage Servers Servers
