Deploying Virtualized Mobile Infrastructures on Openstack
Deploying Virtualized Mobile Infrastructures on Openstack – Ajay Simha NFV Architect/Senior Principal Engineer, Red Hat Inc., Cary, North Carolina Prakash Suthar Principal Architect, Cisco System Inc., Bolingbrook, Illinois
Service Provider is evolving and competing with leaner Over the Top Providers (OTP) providers such as Google and Amazon to provide mobile services. Furture SP network has ot be agile, resilient and auto salable. SPs are leaning towards using COTS infra, open networking (OPNFV, ONOS) and VNF to run routers, switches, mobile gateways, firewall, NAT, DPI functions. Session covers design and deployment of virtualizing the mobile infra such as Virtual Evolved Packet Core, GiLAN and VoLTE as well as 5G core. We will also cover performance fine tuning using DPDK, SR-IOV etc. WE will present case study using Cisco (VNF Manager and NFVO), Redhat (NFVI), Openstack and block storage using CEPH technology. Participants will be able to understand complexities of mobile packet core, evolution NFV based solution and architecture framework for 5G mobile packet core.
