Data Center Network Virtualization Optimization |
|
| |
|
|
Enterprise and Service Provider Data Centers are aggressively moving from lightly utilized servers running a few Virtual Machines (VMs) to optimized servers running many VMs. The latter requires network virtualization to be fully automated and simple. It also requires network feedback into the server's virtualization infrastructure.

Automating Network and Service Configuration using NETCONF and YANG |
|
| |
|
|
|
Network providers are challenged by new requirements on fast and error-free service turn-up. This is blocked by current configuration approaches by CLI scripting or lock-in by commercial tools based on device-specific adaptors.
Describing a management solution based on the IETF standards NETCONF and YANG to address the configuration management challenges and showing that it greatly simplifies the configuration management integrations towards devices and still provides good performance.

Network Automation: Key to Profitable Optical Network Operation |
|
| |
|
|
|
Migrating from a resource-centric to a service driven mode of network operations promises substantial savings in optical network administration and maintenance. Such a move requires a unified service and transport management system that manages service creation, activation and service-quality assurance, and which integrates seamlessly with the optical network’s GMPLS control plane.
