FSP Network
Hypervisor Is Vital Component to Extend SDN Into Optical
Layer
Munich, Germany.
February 14, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking today launched its
FSP Network Hypervisor - a key component in the drive to virtualize
optical networks. The software has been specifically developed to
help service providers automate service discovery and service
activation, especially when paired with the ADVA FSP 3000 DCI and
network infrastructure solution. It creates an abstracted view of
the underlying physical infrastructure, helping to decouple the
complexities of managing photonic transmission systems while
enabling greater network automation and optimization. Already
showcased in multiple public demos and various proof-of-concept
installations, the ADVA FSP Network Hypervisor has been engineered
to work with all open source and commercial SDN controllers. The
software will be showcased at this year's OFC and will be included
in the Optical Internetworking Forum's read-out event for its SDN
transport API interoperability testing.
"There can be no question that by
extending our open photonic system with an open SDN control we are
leaps and bounds ahead of the field. This unique combination is the
target for the rest of the industry to aim for," said Christoph
Glingener, CTO, COO, ADVA Optical Networking. "Our FSP Network
Hypervisor is the next logical step in making our connectivity
solutions truly open - in the data plane as well as in the control
plane. At its core, it's all about reducing complexity and helping
CSPs and ICPs to be far more responsive to their networks' needs.
It enables real-time response to load changes, automatically reacts
to network failures and ensures the most effective path
computation. These are things that today's static networks simply
can't do. You can now achieve in minutes what formerly took hours
or even days. Our FSP Network Hypervisor will prove to be a key
component for any CSPs and ICPs that are virtualizing their optical
networks."
The ADVA FSP Network Hypervisor
has been tailor-made to help migrate legacy networks to
cloud-optimized infrastructures. One of the key elements here is a
hypervisor that can act as a domain controller for the optical
layer. With this software, service providers can move away from
static networks to far more automated and responsive cloud
architectures. The ADVA FSP Network Hypervisor essentially assists
service providers with topology discovery and abstraction,
connectivity management, path computation and notifications. This
in turn leads to self-provisioned services, automated resiliency
and optimized resource utilization. These are critical features for
any CSP or ICP seeking real-time cloud connectivity and multi-layer
network optimization, especially for SDN/NFV-centric network
architectures, such as the central office re-architected as a data
center (CORD).
"What stands our FSP Network
Hypervisor out from the crowd is its robust performance and
widespread use," commented Stephan Rettenberger, SVP, marketing and
investor relations, ADVA Optical Networking. "Since 2014, it's been
widely demoed and used in numerous proofs of concept. As such, it's
already been thoroughly tested with all major SDN controllers,
including those from Juniper Networks, NEC/Netcracker, ONOS and
OpenDaylight. This is something no other vendor can claim. When you
pair our FSP Network Hypervisor with our FSP 3000 DCI and network
infrastructure solution, you have a highly scalable, open platform
that is unparalleled in the industry. It provides real-time cloud
connectivity with multi-layer network optimization. What's more,
it's all open and standardized. This is something that few others
can claim."
