DAY 2
ADVA Optical Networking (Booth 810) has
launched the FSP 150 ProVM product
family, focused on edge network functions
virtualization (NFV) technology.
The products extend the capabilities of existing
network interface devices by combining Carrier
Ethernet 2.0 and IP demarcation with an internal
server that can host virtual network applications.
As a carrier-grade virtual network functions
(VNF) edge solution, it can deliver comprehen-
sive service assurance for both its integrated
server, as well as the connecting network.
Hardware-assisted monitoring enables service
providers to directly monitor the performance of
applications—a function that’s critical for service
providers as they seek to expand their business to
offer managed network services.
“Service providers are standing on the edge of a
new era of revenue opportunity,” said Christoph Glin-
gener, CTO at ADVA Optical Networking. “NFV pres-
ents themwith a real chance to dramatically increase
the managed services they sell. The key to success
here is in the implementation. Our new FSP 150
ProVM is the only carrier-grade VNF solution in the
industry that combines extensive, hardware-assisted
service assurance with virtual application hosting.”
This is critical, he added.
“Service providers need the same level of
operations, administration and maintenance as
they have with their existing demarcation tech-
nology,” Glingener said. “Without this, they’ll
lack critical functionality. NFV at the edge of the
network needs assurance, openness and security
– three vital ingredients and our FSP 150 ProVM
has them all. There can be no question that this
technology will be an important component of
NFV-centric networks.”
To ensure that service providers are able to fully
leverage the potential of NFV, the ADVA FSP 150
ProVM is a completely open solution. It includes
standardized interfaces based on OpenFlow,
OpenStack and Netconf/YANG. The close integra-
tion of control and management systems with the
underlying hardware also creates strong synergies
between physical and virtual network functions,
resulting in optimum performance.
“We’ve worked closely with a number of leading
service providers to develop our FSP 150 ProVM.
This tight collaboration with fixed and mobile
operators has resulted in an essential solution – one
that meets all specific functional and operational
network requirements,” commented Stephan
Rettenberger, vice president of marketing at ADVA
Optical Networking. “Our team has crafted an edge
NFV device that is unlike anything on the market.
It builds on our Etherjack technology to create
service demarcation for the virtualized world. And
by combining this directly with an internal server
that hosts VNFs, you have a synergy of hardware
and software that delivers unparalleled results.
This unique combination will prove imperative
for service providers as they rapidly respond to a
wealth of new business opportunities.”
To mitigate the security risks of migrating
to open-source software and standard network
components, the ADVA FSP 150 ProVM also
includes ADVA ConnectGuard. This technology
provides a key mix of features that ensure
network security and data protection. These
features include robust encryption, tamper
resistance and network isolation, with access
control lists. o
