Packet Design CTO to Discuss SDN Management Challenges at MPLS/SDN Conference Français
Session to cover need for route analytics to facilitate SDN across wide area networks
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Packet Design CTO Cengiz Alaettinoglu will conduct a technical session during the 16th annual MPLS/SDN 2013 International Conference about how route analytics can address software defined networking (SDN) management challenges. Specifically, he will introduce the need for a network access broker to verify if the wide area network (WAN) can handle the traffic demands of SDN applications without impacting other applications adversely.
Session Title: "Challenges in Operating a Software Defined Network: How Route Analytics Alleviates the Risks"
Session Description:
Northbound SDN APIs allow creation of network-aware applications. Cloud and data center applications have successfully taken advantage of these APIs to provide seamless virtual machine mobility and elasticity. However, these applications are unaware of whether or not the underlying WAN can provide acceptable performance.
Technology vendors have toyed with bandwidth on demand, demand placement and rapid provisioning as SDN applications for carriers. The ability to provide performance guarantees for these applications as well as cloud applications requires deep understanding of underlying real-time network topology and traffic demands. Route analytics is the state-of-the-art-technology needed to provide this information.
In this presentation, Cengiz will discuss challenges in operating a software defined network and how integrating route analytics with SDN applications can mitigate the risks. This would provide the policy layer intelligence required to either approve applications to proceed or determine that new network paths must be created.
Date and Time: Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. EST
