New Breed of Carrier Chooses adVa eNsemBle for iNtel-Powered NfV solutioNs

iNtelreg Network BuilderssolutioN Brief

Overview

DartPoints is a data center innovator having pioneered micro data centers aimed at small and medium businesses that need a highly convenient data center that offers tier-1 services After a successful company launch DartPoints turned to Intelreg Network Builders partner ADVA Optical Networking for a turnkey network functions virtualization (NFV) solution to help scale its business nationwide and expand the service offerings

Challenge

To offer its customers the best performance at the most competitive prices DartPoints has created the industryrsquos first ldquoNFV-enabled micro data centerrdquo an innovative concept that places data center and colocation (colo) facilities in the same building where its customers are located Colocating private cloud services improves scale and management of individual cloud instances while enabling low latency high-bandwidth and secure connectivity without cross-connectsmdashall of which are key differentiators of DartPointsrsquo micro data centers But the micro data center offers the same computing data recovery and other services as million-square-foot tier-1 competitors with equivalent service levels and reliability including complete compliance and security and carrier-neutral access to Internet or WAN services

Adopting NFV for Scalability Lower Cost

In initial build out of its data centers DartPoints used appliance-based routers switches firewalls and other service-provisioning equipment As it scales its business nationwide the company is looking to replace these stacks of equipment with multi-tenant and multi-supplier virtual network functions (VNFs) on Intelreg architecture-based servers DartPoints will also leverage NFV orchestration to provide dynamic self-provisioned and on-demand services to customers with no changes required to the hardware

This true ldquonetwork-as-a-servicerdquo reduces the companyrsquos reliance on single-function hardware appliances that are expensive take months to be delivered and deployed and donrsquot allow for flexible services delivery With NFV multiple services can be deployed on a single server allowing DartPoints to quickly turn up new services from its network operations center by remotely downloading software and configuring the service

The results are dramatic Once the NFV server is in place DartPoints engineers can provision Internet service and firewalls in about 15 minutes from a console in their operations center Compare that to using the old approach of deploying a variety of hardware appliances which could take weeks or months to acquire the hardware and then even more time to schedule the customer visit to get the services up and running

DartPoints conducted an extensive pre-deployment proof-of-concept trial to ensure that virtualized services are capable of delivering the performance customers demand After a successful completion of those trials DartPoints chose the FSP 150vSE server from Intel Network Builders partner ADVA Optical Networking to host multiple VNFs for its NFV services

Solution ndash NFV Hosting + Orchestration

The ADVA FSP 150vSE integrates an Intelreg Atomtrade processor-based server platform with open Carrier Ethernet networking for service-edge applications The system is designed for managed services delivered on business customer premises It has the processing power to host multiple combinations of software-based VNFs needed for multiple services or for complex service delivery

Key system highlights include

bull 1RU ETSIANSI compatible and NEBS-compliant form factor

bull Multi-core Intel Atom processor

bull 4GB - 32GB memory

bull Upgradable SSD for Linux OS and virtual network functions

bull Up to six built-in Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

bull Expandable Carrier Ethernet options (bonded GSHDSL T1DS3 SONETSDH)

bull Wireless broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity options

bull Up to six gigabytes of bulk storage via internal SATA or eSATA

bull MEF CE 20 compliant VNF-based Ethernet access device

bull Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) support for data plane acceleration

The FSP 150vSE features modular interfaces and a 100 percent programmable architecture so DartPoints can deliver a complete managed service portfolio using a single system instead of multiple single-purpose appliances

The other advantage for DartPoints of the open and programmable nature of the FSP 150vSE is a dramatic reduction in its time to market for new services This starts with the ADVArsquos Harmony Partners ecosystem which features VNFs from leading software companies that have been integrated into the ADVA Ensemble solution offering

With this ecosystem and system programmability the DartPoints engineering team can create and test service templates for a wide range of services that the operations team can then implement quickly for each customer This capability also lets DartPoints install or upgrade new services remotely in minutes with no shipping charges or on-site technician

NFV Orchestration

DartPoints selected ADVArsquos Ensemble Orchestrator to augment the FSP 150vSE with a complete suite of standards-based SDN and NFV software that lets service providers like DartPoints create and manage VNFs at the service edge

Ensemble Orchestrator is a powerful European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NFV management and orchestration (MANO)ndashcompliant solution for end-to-end VNF and network service lifecycle management including VNF onboarding virtualized service design service deployment and service operations and management

The FSP 150vSE and Ensemble Orchestrator provide a complete service provisioning system for DartPoints that is powerful enough to provide dedicated VNFs for up to six customers on a single server The flexibility of the system has allowed DartPoints to expand its revenue base by selling service provisioning services to the ISPs or other carriers that use its colocation facilities

Conclusion

In a market where big data centers are considered the best way to serve customers DartPoints is showing that the micro data center can be successful NFV-enabled services based on ADVArsquos Intel-powered FSP 150vSE and Ensemble Orchestrator software are a key driver for this success
