NFV - Network Function Virtualization

Transformations to software based solutions NFV - Network Function Virtualization

We help you design and implement these latest SDN trends
in your Cloud Services Datacenter ...

Container or Virtual Machine Based - Software instead of Hardware running on top of
performance switches servers and storage devices or cloud computing infra.
Avoidance of hardware appliances. Achieve Open Choice of networking hardware
( as being virtualised and hardware decoupled for firewalls, load balancers, intrusion detection, WAN optimisation devices )
 
checking performance, reliability, scalability vertical and horizontal, geolocation

PoCs to improve network architecture being more flexible and adaptable.
Avoid reliance of specific vendors. Virtualisation of functionality.

SDN - Software Defined Networking and Openflow for NFVI ( Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure ) in the context of NFV-MANO for Orchestration and Management where virtualized software runs on hardware controllers with management and monitoring functionality, resilience, security and recovery.

Service Chaining - to orchestrate the solution. Declarative instead of Imparative.
Yaml, Json.

Monitoring and Billing the services for Distributed NFV - service transparency.

Vendor Defined Software Components -> VNFCs map 1:1 to VM or container images - side effects and scale up and scale out in the solutions with virtual CPUs.

Automated Orchestration (MANO) with
* NFVO - Network Functions Virtualisation Orchestrator / assessment
* VNFM - Virtual Network Function Manager  / assessment
* VIM  - Virtualised Infrastructure Manager / assessment

openNetVM and Kubernetes / Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNF) containerisation of NFV with security and hardening modules like CNIs and Calico (Software Firewalls)

Vendors: Fortinet - NGFW ( next generation firewall )

SONIC - Software for Open Networking In the Cloud - L3 devices
standardised software stack for hardware virtualisation - Switch Abstraction Interface API for switches and ASICs ( application specific integrated circuit - specialized appliances / chips )
Border Gateway Protocol ( BGP ) , QoS etc. sourcecode on GitHub

Vendors: Broadcom, Nephos, Cavium, Intel, Marvell, Centec, Nvidia
