NFV and SDN technologies for faster service creation and deployment
Network operators will reap great rewards in terms of agility and automation with the implementation of virtualization and NFV orchestration.
The virtual network function (VNF) manager is an ETSI MANO stack component that coordinates and automates tasks via a virtual infrastructure manager to request VM creation and trigger VNF instantiation and configuration. It automates the collection of alarms and performance metrics to trigger scaling and healing, and can be defined once then deployed multiple times.
NFV orchestrator coordinates the creation of the network service, operating on network service descriptors (NSDs). The NSD has scaling, monitoring and policy information, allowing automated service management and the definition of service topology as a VNF forwarding graph independent of physical topology. To implement a forwarding graph, orchestrator parses information about requirements, determines virtual links between VNFs, and delegates their creation to a VIM or SDN network controller/WAN infrastructure manager, whether in a data center managed by a single VIM, or when the interconnection of functions in multiple data centers is required.
But, in order to get the most from VNFs, service providers need to both implement the technology and shift their thinking away from ideas based on physical networks. They may, for example, adopt continuous delivery – which gives immediate feedback on software changes and increases agility and robustness – or DevOps, based on multi-disciplinary agile teams delivering new functionalities combining cost efficiency and quality.
