Multi Layer Network Orchestration - A CENGN, Fujitsu, Juniper and CENX PoC
While computer technology in a wider sense has advanced rapidly and dramatically over the past three decades, networking has remained virtually unchanged since the 1990s. One of the main problems facing providers around the world is that the numerous multi vendor legacy systems still in service don’t support fast, accurate remote identification, troubleshooting and fault resolution. The lack of remote fault resolution capabilities is compounded by the complex, closed, and proprietary nature of legacy systems, as well as the proliferation of protocols at the Southbound end. As a result, networks are difficult to optimize, troubleshoot, automate, and customize. SDN (Software-Defined Networking) is set to solve these issues by decoupling the control plane, plus bringing the benefits of cost reduction, overhead reduction, virtual network management, virtual packet forwarding, extensibility, better network management, faster service activation, reduced downtime, ease of use and open s
