Fast and dumb network

New data center technology to enable virtualization of the network

Programming the network

Network overlay to enable servers to communicate with each other over layer 3 boundaries

Separation of data plane and control plane and enabling communication through OpenFlow protocol

Virtual switches, routers, firewalls, and other networking devices

Which of the following attributes do you believe describe the term software-defined

networking (SDN)?

WHERE WILL IT BE USED?

SDN Values Survey Results

Allowing the network to adjust automatically to

virtual machine migration

36.5%

Improved network security 32.8%

Ability to program the network 16.1%

Improved quality of service 42.7%

Ability to segment the network (multi-tenancy) 17.2%

Reduction in operational costs 26.6%

Reduction in network hardware costs 26.6%

Decoupling of control and forwarding plane

API based programmable interfaces to tweak

and influence the data plane from a

centralized appliance in real-time

Global view of the network

Network to transform into an application

Single logical switch with homogenous policies

THREE KEY ELEMENTS

1. PROGRAMMABILITY

• Link between application and network

• Orchestrated activity to optimize performance

• Cross-referenced performance visibility

2. FROM APPLICATION AWARENESS TO APPLICATION FLUENCY

• Network automatically reacts to virtualized workloads

• Dynamic tuning of network traffic handling

3. GLOBAL CONTROL VIEW

• Improve local decisions making

• Export view to application control

WHAT IS SDN TO ALCATEL-LUCENT ENTERPRISE?

• Evolution of our AFN Strategy

• Solving Automation needs Today

• Delivering Standards-based Interfaces:

• Across the entire portfolio – Campus & Data Center

• Investment Protection leveraging software upgrades to deliver

• Enable our Enterprise customers to move to SDN at their own pace

• SDN Technology not currently compelling for majority of Enterprises

• BUT: Enterprises want to know that you’re products will fit into the SDN Framework if/when they may move towards it.

• Providing Practical Use Cases on how SDN can solve issues in today’s Enterprises

NOW IT IS ALL ABOUT AUTOMATION

• Computing is now completely flexible

but the data center network is not

• The network and the applications are

operating effectively in silos

The network today has little awareness

of applications

Virtual application control systems are unaware

of the network

• Any attempt to improve resource utilization

likely delivers a suboptimal result
