Telef nica extends its existing SD-WAN infrastructure to include software-defined data centers (SDDC) - modernizes datacenter network architecture for massive scale, agility and efficiency.
7th May 2018
Mountain View, California - Nokia and its venture focused on software-defined networking (SDN), Nuage Networks, are partnering with Telef nica Spain to build an open, elastic and highly secure data center network infrastructure, dramatically expanding the agility, scale and efficiency of its cloud-based services.
A key part of Telef nicas cloud vision is to offer enterprises the ability to easily order, customize and configure value-added services through a self-service portal for on-demand delivery. Having already deployed an SD-WAN infrastructure in 2017, Telef nica is leveraging and extending that investment to include modern software-defined data centers (SDDC). The Nuage Networks Virtualized Networks Services (VCS) solution automates secure connectivity and network services across efficient and advanced datacenter fabrics powered by Nokia and Nuage Networks routers. This modernization will propel Telef nica service offerings ranging from enterprise hosting and co-location to enterprise wide-area networks (WAN) and enterprise cloud infrastructure.
The Nuage Networks VCS solution allows Telef nica to accelerate the provisioning of new customers, applications and networks with cloud-scale efficiency. The solution automatically establishes networking configurations, with quality of service (QoS) and security policies. It also enables zero-touch, policy-based network automation of applications running on any infrastructure, whether virtual machines, containers or bare-metal servers. The solution is OpenStack compliant and fully certified with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack platform.
Additionnally Nuage Networks will enable hybrid cloud seamless interconnection between Private DC, Telef nica SDDC and Public Clouds, where Telef nicas customers require solutions to address the needs of cloud-based applications such as cloudbursting, optimizing latency, virtualized networking and routing services.
To implement Telef nicas advanced leaf-spine datacenter architecture - a specialized topology that minimizes latency and bottlenecks - Nokia and Nuage Networks are delivering routing platforms with the density, flexibility, and cost efficiency to meet Telef nicas objectives across the full range of interfaces. Telef nicas hosted infrastructure ensures that enterprises get the highest level of agility and responsiveness, while avoiding the complexity and risks of managing their own cloud.
Joaqu n Mata, director of operations, network and IT at Telef nica Espa a, said: To meet the rapidly emerging business requirements for agility and on-demand deployments, we moved aggressively to build our business connectivity services around a new cloud-based architecture. Nuage Networks provided us with a highly scalable SDN architecture that could support all our services across all our regions without disruption. We are confident our customers will significantly improve their businesses with these new cloud-based services.
Sunil Khandekar, founder and chief executive officer of Nuage Networks from Nokia, said: The IT, communications and service needs of todays enterprises have much higher demands than just a few years ago and therefore require new technologies to support them. We worked closely with Telef nica to assure the Nuage Networks SDN solutions address the requirements of its entire network infrastructure from the data center to remote WAN sites around the globe. Enterprise customers who need more flexibility and agility to quickly propel themselves into new markets can get it through trusted providers like Telef nica.
Overview of the solution to be deployed:
The Nuage Networks VCS enables Telef nica to automate the configuration, management and optimization of virtual networks in the datacenter, including bandwidth, QoS policy, and security services.
The Nuage Networks VCS provides per-tenant micro-segmentation and access controls to individual applications and workloads, irrespective of whether they are bare metal, virtual machines, or containers.
Nuage Networks enables Telef nica to deliver SD-WAN and SDDC services using a single common Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP), paving the way for a massively multi-tenant, fully automated and highly secure SDN infrastructure that spans the datacenter, the branch and the cloud.
Telef nicas SDDC solution combines high performance routing and gateway functionality delivered by Nokias FP4-powered 7750 SR-1 routers for datacenter gateway and tera-leaf functionality. Nokia 7250 IXR-10 routers are deployed as super spine nodes, delivering massive density for 100GbE interconnection. Both platforms share the common SR OS operating system, proven over years of deployment in networks of leading operators, including Telef nica. Virtualized instantiations of network functions such as route reflectors (VSR-RR) are also based on the SR OS, and seamlessly deployed alongside SDDC & carrier SDN implementations.
The Nuage Networks 210 WBX will be used as a data center leaf router, offering a high density, flexible, cost-effective solution for 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE and 100GbE interfaces.
