Network + IT


Culture Gaps?


•  “Server Guy” vs “Network Guy”

•  OpenStack vs VMware

•  Carrier Grade vs Web Scale

•  Network vs DC Orchestration

•  Turnkey vs DIY

•  Add your own…


Are you building a NFV Cloud? Or a Carrier Cloud?

Multi-Service Cloud is Only Way to Achieve Significant ROI (Sources: ACG research, UBS, Arthur D. Little)

…but A Multi-Service/Common Cloud Platform is Critical

IT is Quickly Shifting to the Cloud…

…and NFV/SDN Provide Huge Revenue/Cost Benefits...


No More Religious Wars


For Example: OpenStack or VMware? Right Answer: Let the workload requirements dictate the stack!

What can go wrong?

Complex “Chain of Dependencies”

•  Application •  OS •  Hypervisor •  Server •  RAID •  NIC •  Firmware •  Network

More Potential Problem Triggers •  Software / OS

patches •  Firmware

Upgrade •  BIOS Settings •  Config Changes •  Script Changes


Applying DevOps / CI Concept to NFV

Continuous Integration Continuous Deployment Framework

•  Automated Certifications –  Select Test Bed Blueprint –  Select Test Methodologies –  Schedule Test Bed Creation and Run Test –  Capture Results

•  Automated A/B Testing –  Certify new VNF vendors, VNF releases –  Certify new hardware, firmware, drivers –  Certify changes to Cloud Virtualization stack –  Vendor interoperability testing –  …


Helping Network and IT Convergence

instead of…

Network Server Storage DevOps OSS/BSS

TCO / ROI
