Cyan
(NYSE:CYNI), a leading provider of software-defined networking (SDN) and
network virtualization, today announced that it will present an
end-to-end vEPC (virtual evolved packet core) network-functions
virtualization (NFV) use case demonstration in collaboration with Intel,
Red Hat and Connectem at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona.
This carrier-sponsored, official ETSI proof of concept demo will show
the instantiation of a virtual evolved packet core through an NFV
orchestrator. Specifically, the POC will leverage Cyan’s Blue Planet SDN
and NFV Orchestration Platform, which allows network providers to
orchestrate multi-vendor virtual network functions (VNFs). Blue Planet’s
NFV Orchestration technology simplifies the deployment and life-cycle
management of VNFs.
In the POC, Blue Planet will interoperate with Connectem’s virtualized
packet core technology (VCM), which is capable of addressing elasticity,
scale and service velocity even in the largest mobile broadband
networks. Cyan will be collaborating with Intel to highlight the DPDK
accelerated vSwitch in combination with the Intel® Xeon® processor-based
servers that provide compute, delivering an ideal base for NFV
performance. Cyan also is collaborating with Red Hat as the solution
incorporates Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, which combines
the power of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the OpenStack cloud platform
to deliver a scalable and secure cloud datacenter.
“Virtualized environments challenge every fundamental aspect of the
wireless carriers’ infrastructure costs, access to capacity on-demand,
and service velocity,” said Barry Hill, vice president, sales and
marketing at Connectem. “With Cyan Blue Planet Orchestration, carriers
can now deploy EPC infrastructure, which is normally a complex and
difficult undertaking, in days instead of months. The joint solution
that we will be demonstrating live at Mobile World Congress will
illustrate how advanced technologies and platforms can be leveraged to
re-define the economics and time-frame of service delivery for the
mobile broadband market.”
Connectem has developed the first ever instance of a Virtualized LTE
Evolved Packet Core (EPC) with unique architectural attributes that
leverages datacenter virtualization technologies to deliver
unprecedented scale, availability and performance using Intel
Architecture-based servers. This allows carriers to have a cost
effective solution to address the growing demand in both signaling as
well as data throughput. The company’s virtualized software is capable
of addressing elasticity, scale and service velocity in the largest
Mobile Broadband Networks.
“This multi-vendor, multi-domain demonstration is meant to highlight the
power and simplicity of NFV orchestration through Cyan’s Blue Planet,”
said Michael Hatfield, president, Cyan. “In this case, Blue Planet will
instantiate a vEPC from Connectem utilizing low-cost, high-performance
Intel-based server technology. Blue Planet then automates the service
end-to-end from the mobile-tower, across the WAN and through the vEPC.”
Built specifically for network operators and the WAN, Cyan’s Blue Planet
SDN Platform lowers costs and simplifies network operations for
customers, allowing them to more efficiently develop, manage, and
orchestrate new services and virtualized network functions. NFV
orchestration complements Cyan’s Planet Operate NMS functionality and
SDN principles to introduce end-to-end orchestration capabilities,
including the automation of service delivery and the optimization of
network resources.
To schedule a live demonstration at Intel booth #3D30 at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, February 24-27, 2014, contact [email protected].

@ThingsExpo Stories By Pat Romanski  It is of utmost importance for the future success of WebRTC to ensure that interoperability is operational between web browsers and any WebRTC-compliant client. To be guaranteed as operational and effective, interoperability must be tested extensively by establishing WebRTC data and media connections between different web browsers running on different devices and operating systems.
