Murray Cooke, Network Computing Solutions Architect, Intel The Big Talking Point: Network Functions Virtualisation 09:50 Panel Discussion: Is NFV the killer app for SDN? o Why do carriers need multiple & separate specialised devices (ie. DPI, firewall etc), when these can be virtualised and sent straight to the Data Centre? o Predicting and hypothesising an entirely virtualised network can it happen? Will it happen? o Decoupling SDN & NFV Chair: Eyal Felstaine, Vice President of Product Strategy, Amdocs CTO group Axel Clauberg, VP Aggregation, Transport & IP, Deutsche Telekom Eric Loos, Senior Product Manager Capacity & IP, BICS Thomas Rambold, CEO, DessCon Andy Reid, Chief Network Services Architect, British Telecom Dr. Lars Friedrich, VP & General Manager Metro/Transport Business, JDSU Managing Networking Changes on the Road to a Telecom Focused SDN & NFV Solution o Although the concepts behind SDN & NFV are well understood within large scale data center environments, transferring this vision to a highly distributed telecom network is likely to encounter new challenges o Moving from a CPU centric cloud architecture, to a highly regulated, latency critical, network centric system will need a new approach especially within, and between, NG-COs and dedicated data center clouds o This session will look at the interaction between orchestration layers, control and data plane to examine how and where networking, VM related tunnels and load balancing can be applied Manish Singh, CTO, Radisys 10:50 11:50 Morning Refreshments, Delegate Networking & Visit to Exhibition NFV: Formulating a new architecture for mobile & converged networks, centralised in the cloud o Will NFV form part of the umbrella for SDN? Will carriers require a sophisticated virtualisation strategy before being able to fully rollout an SDN based infrastructure? NFV as part of the mesh network overlaying OpenFlow & other controllers in the distributed cloud; facilitating a platform for an SDN rollout in a much more aggressive way Control networks are moved, on a virtual basis, to the cloud, and then distributed via OpenFlow or another protocol Will this then inhale & encompass all areas of the network? Ie. Core, backhaul, metro, access, edge etc. Do NFV & SDN belong in the same bracket, or should they be separated and treated as such? o How will the cloud help to integrate all parts of the network ecosystem? o Are we already seeing results in terms of CAPEX/OPEX reduction, increases in flexibility & superior delivery of services to the consumer? Andy Reid, Chief Network Services Architect, British Telecom Cutting Through the Jargon: What's NFV and What is It Good For? o What is NFV? o Why should CSPs want it? o How do you get there?
