Abstract

When Network Ops teams can point and click to deploy new services in minutes, across heterogeneous platforms—agile operations is truly realized. This is the promise of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). But this next-gen technology brings with it complexity and management headaches never seen before. As a IT management leader, CA Technologies understands the highly complex and dynamic SDN/NFV stack and introduces. The solution provides a bridge to migrate existing Infrastructure Management systems to meet the needs of SDN and NFV network velocity for reliable self-service and automation. This is a must-attend session for CACA Virtual Network Assurance Performance Management and/or CA Spectrum® users with current or future SDN/NFV initiatives.

By 2019, video will make up 90% of all internet traffic.1

213 million packets per second was achieved in recent NFV performance

tests.3

By 2020, there will be 26 billion internet connected devices.2

Welcome to the

application economy.

Jennifer Clark, VP of Research451 ResearchOrchestration and OSS: Beauty, Meet Beast, September 2015

“As SDN and NFV implementations expand to multiple datacenters and multiple networks, operators will acknowledge network—and service—orchestration as the most strategic component of their

virtualized infrastructure.”

SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

We’re at the beginning of a revolution…Are you ready?SDN/NFV will transform and fuel the application economy.


But there is a problem.Today’s infrastructure management solutions will not work for SDN/NFV.

TODAY’S INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENTThe complexity & static nature of traditional networks creates a siloed infrastructure management approach based on manual consumption.
