ADARA to Introduce SDN for End User Environments

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ADARA Networks^®, a global software company in the software defined networking space, will release Polaris, which integrates end user devices into an actively managed Software Defined Networking (SDN)  architecture. This industry first will work as an application downloadable for all devices using any version of the Android Operating System; it will not require any changes to the Operating System or hardware and will work on any manufacturer's device. This announcement coincides with a demonstration of select capabilities of ADARA's SDN product offering at Open Networking Summit 2013 in Santa Clara on April 15-17. The Open Networking Summit is the only nonprofit conference dedicated to accelerating the future of SDN technologies.

"ADARA sees Open Networking Summit 2013 as the right venue to announce an industry first, a product suite that integrates an end user device actively into the managed SDN architecture.  For many of the same reasons data centers seek to use SDN to enable applications on servers to interact directly with the network, there is a huge benefit in enabling clients with lightweight applications on mobile devices to interact directly with their own home routers or their service providers infrastructure," said Eric Johnson, Chairman and CEO of ADARA Networks. "Polaris enables SDN to be deployed at the extreme edge of the network and it enables SDN that is truly end-to-end, making it leaps ahead in capability."

"The Polaris product suite delivers enhanced performance for end users in the Consumer and Small Office Home Office (SOHO) market, as well as significant economic benefits' for carriers. One of the direct benefits of Polaris is increased performance for all end user devices while lessening loads on service providers of all types.  This additionally increases support for Bring Your Own Device/Service/Behavior (BYOD/SB), an increasing required capability in daily personal and professional life. This is incredibly significant as there are a few million servers, routers and switches sold annually but the numbers of mobile devices are in the billions. It is also important because ADARA SDN is natively designed to be dynamic, easy to use, secure and deliver high performance, which are the most critical elements for a market that is increasingly dependent upon wireless," said Johnson.  

Exhibiting and demonstration details for ADARA Networks @ Open Networking Summit 2013 include:

Date: April 15-17, 2013
Location:   Booth 306
Santa Clara Convention Center and Hyatt Regency Santa Clara

ADARA's Chief Software Architect Karthikeyan Subramaniam will illustrate the insufficiencies of legacy networking, discuss the importance of a holistic SDN solution rather than the piecemeal approach and demonstrate the need and power of a comprehensive SDN that is service aware, end –to-end and Layer 1-7, as opposed to simple SDN limited to "Layer 2-4 rule lookup and forward" approaches.

ADARA will also be demonstrating the capabilities of its SDN product offering including:

• Infrastructure orchestration; ability to manage all virtual and physical IT infrastructure components
• Service choreography; ability to manage to the level of the service, not just the level of the virtual and physical infrastructure components
• True end-to-end management of virtual and physical resources
• Fully Layer 1 - 7 virtualized platform
• Autonomic management through policy; capability to dynamically create rules and make IT infrastructure configuration changes based on business services performance and policy
• Capability to increase VM densities and reduce OPEX,  the mark of efficiency in computing
• Capability to migrate services as well as virtual machines enabling novel ultra-fast virtual and cloud computing
• Capability to allow the users to set, monitor and dynamically enforce  business level goals (cost, customer satisfaction) service level goals (service availability, response, utilization) operational goals (bandwidth, latency)

As part of the demonstration, ADARA will also highlight how it provides a solution that is horizontally (Layer 1-7) as well as vertically (data center-to-network-to-client/end-to-end) integrated and allows full visibility to services. ADARA will demonstrate how an industry first; how its products are engineered for Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers, large, medium and small enterprises, as well as home and consumer markets. ADARA's production ready solution also provides single pane of glass management, which is key for businesses.
