In this archive of a livecast, Jim St Leger (@intel_jim), a Technology Marketing Manager at Intel, stops by to talk about the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit. Intel® DPDK is a set of plane libraries and network interface controller drivers for fast packet processing on Intel® architecture platforms, allowing an increased throughput of packet workloads of up to 10 – 25x. This solution is ideal for telecom wireless infrastructure evolved packet core (EPC) applications and other network elements. For more information, visit http://intel.com/go/dpdk .

In this archive of a livecast, Kelly Herrell, the VP & GM of the Software Networking Business Unit at Brocade, stops by to talk about the company’s Vyatta virtual routers and how they fit an overall NFV strategy. Vyatta routers offer dynamic routing, Policy-Based Routing (PBR), stateful firewall, VPN support, and traffic management in a platform that is optimized for virtualized environments. Cloud service providers have been the first adopters of networking as a service, but the real proof points will come from telco operators looking to alleviate choked pipes from the explosion of mobile traffic on their networks.

John Healy, the General Manager of the SDN Division at Intel, stops by to talk about the company’s vision for a software defined infrastructure. In a software defined infrastructure datacenter, the compute, network, and storage become pools of assets that can be combined on a per service basis. To fully realize this vision, three things need to happen: 1. Abstract functionality from underlying hardware, 2. Develop the ability for centralized control of all resources, and 3. Orchestration of all resources so they can be programmed on an on-demand basis. For more information, visit http://networkbuilders.intel.com.

In this archive of a livecast, Recep Ozdag, the Director of Solutions Marketing for Cyan Inc., stops by to talk about working with Intel, Dell, Red Hat and Connectem on an end-to-end NFV orchestration proof of concept demo. The PoC was sponsored by Sprint and Telefonica and demonstrates the technical and business viability of carrier-grade NFV deployment and service orchestration using cloud computing technologies.
