NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Wind River Titanium Server software
platform for NFV infrastructure is now commercially available.
- Delivering carrier grade or six-nines
(99.9999%) reliability, Titanium Server has gained traction as an
NFV infrastructure platform, with adoption in ETSI proof-of-concept
activities.
- Wind River is showcasing Titanium
Server solutions at SDN & OpenFlow World Congress in
Dusseldorf, Germany this month.
Wind River®, a world leader in delivering software for
intelligent connected systems, will be demonstrating its Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) software platform at SDN &
OpenFlow World Congress in Dusseldorf, Germany during October
14-17.
The demonstrations include Wind River Titanium Server software
that is optimized for and running on commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) HP ProLiant servers based on Intel® architecture. Titanium
Server enables operators to migrate their network services to NFV
architectures while maintaining carrier grade reliability.
Customers can onboard and deploy NFV applications out of the box,
giving them a time-to-market advantage for commercial NFV
deployments.
Titanium Server, previously called Carrier Grade Communications
Server in its early-market acceptance phase, is now available for
commercial deployment. Titanium Server technologies have been
selected for telecom network NFV designs including C-RAN and
virtual EPC solutions and is being used in service provider
proof-of-concepts (PoCs).
Wind River will be showcasing multiple demonstrations of
Titanium Server, including ETSI NFV use cases for high availability
in the ETSI Proof-of-Concept Zone. These PoCs will also highlight
solutions from partners from the Wind River Titanium Cloud
ecosystem, such as Brocade and HP. The Titanium Cloud program
provides an ecosystem of optimized, interoperable, standard
solutions based around Wind River Titanium Server to accelerate
time-to-market for service providers and telecom equipment
manufacturers (TEMs) deploying NFV infrastructure.
“As telecom networks move to NFV architectures in order to
reduce network operating expenses and accelerate the deployment of
new value-added services, maintaining carrier grade reliability is
an absolute requirement,” said Charlie Ashton, senior director of
business development for networking solutions at Wind River.
“Developed by telecom experts and based on proven carrier grade
technologies, Wind River Titanium Server is a complete NFV
infrastructure solution that can be deployed now.”
“For the telecom industry to evolve and support a
hyper-connected world, we as vendors must collaborate to deliver
proven, open, and scalable solutions. To support this growing
movement known as the New IP, Brocade is working closely with
companies like Wind River to deliver best-in-class NFV performance
on an open platform,” said Kelly Herrell, vice president and
general manager of software networking at Brocade. “The Wind River
Titanium Server and Brocade Vyatta vRouter address the industry’s
NFV needs by delivering high-performance and interoperable
networking services that allow operators to more easily manage
their networks’ growing dynamic workloads.”
“Carriers require reliable, ready-to-deploy solutions that can
help transform their legacy networks to an NFV- and SDN-enabled
infrastructure,” said Werner Schaefer, vice president, Network
Functions Virtualization, HP. “By enabling Wind River Titanium
Server on HP infrastructure and enabling the HP OpenNFV
infrastructure on it, together we will enable carriers to launch
new and innovative services quickly to meet new market challenges,
while reducing operating and capital costs.”
Titanium Server is an application-ready software platform that
enables NFV infrastructure to achieve the carrier grade or
six-nines (99.9999%) reliability required for telecom networks. In
contrast, platforms using enterprise-class software typically only
reach three-nines (99.9%), which can result in extensive network
downtime and costly service outage. Titanium Server is based on
carrier grade Wind River Linux, performance optimized real-time
Virtual Machine (KVM++), carrier grade enhancements to OpenStack®,
Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel DPDK), and accelerated
vSwitch technologies.
On day two of SDN & OpenFlow World Congress, Charlie Ashton
will present the session: “Can You Afford Telecom Network Downtime?
What pitfalls lie ahead when attempting NFV that isn't truly ready
for primetime (and how to get ahead of them).”
Additionally, Wind River has also recently become a founding
member of the Open Platform for NFV Project (OPNFV) to ensure
compatibility and consistency between Titanium Server and the Open
Platform for NFV reference project developed by the Linux
Foundation.
Titanium Server will be featured at Wind River booth #24 and in
the ETSI Proof-of-Concept Zone. More information about Wind River
