  2. Who is ? • VoIP Foundationof the World’s Largest Networks • Fastest Growing SBC Portfolio on the Market • Global Leader in SIP Communications

  3. NFV and SDN Of the two, Virtualization is the more fundamental advance • NFV (Network Function Virtualization) • SDN (Software-Defined Networking) Control Plane • Separating network control and data planes • Enables centralized NFV control of distributed, programmable network elements • Improved manageability • Implementing network functionality on COTS (i.e. Intel) • Improved abstraction and functional modularity • Improved economics • Improved agility Data Plane Cloud

  4. Why is Sonus interested in NFV? Secure QoSTunnel • Interworking Application Signaling Domains • Securing Application Domains • Enabling Application Control of Network Services • When you need to communicate between applications • Large-scale security and DOS protection • When you need more than “best efforts”

  5. SBC Initiatives that Align with NFV SBC 5200 Carrier Grade SBC SBC Application Portedto Linux / x86 Sonus SBC SBC Application Virtualized • Industry’s First Example of Carrier-Grade NFV SBC • Common Codebase & Feature Set with HW-based SBC

  6. Technology Implications It’s no longer just about specialized hardware • Virtualize (NFV) It’s no longer about unmanageable networks • Decompose (SDN) It’s no longer just about Voice • Diversify (Video and Web Interworking & Policy) It’s no longer just about Voice • Ubiquify (Service delivery over IP) • over SIP trunks • over 3G/4G enablement

  7. SBC Decomposition Model for NFV NFV Application Decomposition Dimensions SBC HW • Media Plane Components: L7 – Call Control Open Source, SBC HW or SDN-Enabled Router DSP Processing L3 – Media Plane Switching & Security Sonus Confidential and Proprietary

  8. Is Open Source the Key to NFV Success? • Open Source stops single vendor silos • As an SBC vendor, we only provide part of the NFV solution • Well supported Open Source project can complete the network • Management API’s (REST) • Router, firewall and other modules • Virtual switches – QoS, traffic shaping steering • Plug into SDN

  11. CAN TELCOS BUILD ON OPEN SOURCE? Open source success: Hundreds / thousands of carriers build on Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, on COTS. Scalable and Resilient: Yes - with innovations in the area of five 9’s where there are fewer models to replicate.

  12. ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS • Reference Amazon Web Services as gold standard development environment. • Follow ‘best practice’ architecture for scalable web applications. • All components to be stateless except those which are explicitly and minimally data stores • All interfaces must be open ‘service interfaces’ • No shared data stores or memory between components • No backdoors or cross component assumptions, all interfaces must be fully implemented and policed • No reinventing the wheel - reuse existing technology wherever possible • Leverage Agile iterative and incremental development software development techniques • All components to be minimal in size and scope rather than maximal • Everything to be architected (not necessarily implemented) to scale to 100M subs WEB METHODS | WEB SCALE INNOVATION REVOLUTION: AT WEB SCALE AND INTERNET VELOCITY - Google: 2 trillion searches in 2012, 200M/hr - Facebook: 2012: Users online ~1 billion mins/hr - Netflix: Streams 5B hrs per qtr, 140M mins/hr - YouTube: Serves 6B hrsa month, 500M mins/hr - Amazon: EC2 estimated at 100,000-1M servers 1. Collaborative efforts 2. Build on each others achievements 3. Give back to the community

  13. NETWORK OPERATOR TRADE-OFFS CLOSED VENDOR SOLUTION • Free to acquire • You control features • You control velocity • Greater Freedom • COTS hardware • Effort to develop • Effort to maintain • DevOps Methods • Expensive to acquire • Vendor controls features • Vendor controls velocity • Vendor Lock-in • Often custom hardware • No development effort • Expensive to maintain • Delivered at Telco speed OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS

  14. WEB METHODS equals WEB SCALE • Massively scalable SIP call control implementation • Delivering IMS Core components (and more) • Designed from the ground for the Cloud • Modeled on web design patterns for scalability, reliability and security • Components kept largely stateless and storing • Long-lived state stored in clustered data stores • Currently testing at 50M + BHCA • Trusted/untrusted zones w/security groups / FW rules • Highly portable - already demonstrated on VMware, OpenStack, Windows Azure • Development system in Amazon EC2 Cloud • Projected running costs < $0.02 per subscriber / year • Released as open source in May 2013 • First VNF adopted by the CloudNFVPoC consortium

  15. BORN FROM OPEN SOURCE ~ 70 different pieces of open source code

  16. NO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS Clustered redundant and fast long-lived SIP store, such as registration data and event subscription state independent of a single Sprout node NEED SHORT SPRINTS | EXPERIMENT | FAST FAIL 1. Memcached 2. Infinispan 3. Memcached REVERTED AND BUILT ELASTIC SCALABILITY ON TOP OF MEMCACHED

  17. LEVERAGE OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY Constantly open communication PROJECT BLOGS | MESSAGE BOARDS CENTRALIZED CODE REPOSITORY BRANCHES | PULL REQUESTS | FORKS
