Building a Dynamic Network Infrastructure

Network edge computing is not just the periphery of the Telecom infrastructure, it’s also the frontier of NextGen network and service management. Unlike the bountiful resources at the core or the conceptually unlimited resources of the cloud, edge deployments are decentralized, numerous and constrained. At the edge – continuous optimization and efficiency is necessity. 

Telco edge platforms must do ‘more with less’. They have to flexibly support a wide variety of use-cases and configurations for diverse Enterprise workloads, while maintaining low-latency SLAs of public and private MEC, all within resource and power constraints of edge servers. The extreme demands of edge computing is driving innovation through the automation stack from the application layer down to the hardware, all of which will ultimately make its way back to the core and cloud for a more agile and sustainable industry.

EnterpriseWeb is leading an award-winning multi-vendor Intel 5G RAN testbed based on an secure edge gateway use-case.

Unleashing Security Gateway Performance in Virtualized Environments

There is an emerging interest in time-critical use cases in the areas of entertainment / multimedia, gaming, AR/VR, real-time video conferencing, vehicle to everything (V2X), teleoperated driving, and drones operated through mobile networks. These use cases require bounded low latency in conjunction with medium to high bitrates and the ability to scale across a large number of consumer devices. To meet this demand, entire networks must be optimized. Edge computing reduces transport network latency and jitter by moving data centers from the central cloud into a communication service provider’s network. In addition, 5G’s new radio (NR) network interface introduces key functional and architectural enhancements to enable time-critical services.

Still, these enhancements alone cannot fulfill the goal, and specific functionalities are needed to improve the quality of experience (QoE) for high data rate applications requiring bounded, stable, and low end-to-end latency. This calls for methods to prevent latency spikes due to queuing delays (typically caused by application data rates that are higher than what a network can serve). To fulfill latency requirements, an application must be able to adapt the bitrate to minimize the risk of increased delay while maximizing the service quality under this constraint.

In the meet-up, Ericsson and Deutsche Telekom will introduce “Managed Latency with L4S” which is a disruptive approach to provide a stable latency over mobile networks. The presentation will include:
- Time-critical use cases and their requirement for low and in particular stable latency (low jitter)
- Deep-dive into technology of Managed Latency with L4S
- Use case examples with application partners
- Information for developers how to use Managed Latency with L4S

Delivering High-Performance & Zero-Trust Security

Edge Data Center? Yeah, of course… but highly distributed edge is becoming a reality. Edge is not anymore a proof of concept that runs in a single location in a controlled environment. Real deployments customers are starting to deploy use cases that are decomposed from device to cloud and that run in thousands of different locations (e.g. 100K Road Side Units or BTS). This, per se, is already a big challenge. However; this becomes augmented by multiple facts:

1. Not reliable networks;
2. Extreme harsh conditions (thermal, dust etc.) that make systems potentially less stable;
3. Highly dynamic loads that depend on the status of where edge appliances are physically located and what workloads need (e.g. BTS or smart city cameras);
4. Thermal and energy extremes sometimes restricting compute power availability for spiky workloads.

This keynote will address the key design points and technologies that are needed to overcome those challenges and be able to address the requirements that the Edge Big Bang requires.  The technologies will cover and connect hardware and software elements such as new types of cooling systems and hardware system designs, cloud native and service life cycle management at scale.

Building a Private Edge-CDN Solution with Varnish Enterprise and Intel® Xeon®

As businesses of all types and sizes develop new ways to generate value from data, network topologies are evolving at an unprecedented rate. The distributed nature of business computing is a central aspect of that shift. Cloud-native network functions (CNFs) and containers allow workloads and networks to be decoupled from the underlying infrastructure, enabling greater flexibility, simplicity, and scalability.  This means workloads can execute anywhere, including on-premises or across multiple clouds.

In a joint architecture developed with Intel and Red Hat, the disaggregated SD-WAN solution from Turnium enables the deployment of containers to support edge compute and other containerized workloads. 

Realizing the full benefit of edge computing requires network operators to reassess solution stacks with primary attention to agility and flexibility. The solution from Red Hat, Turnium, and Intel provides an open approach to building future-ready distributed networks. Testing conducted by a third party Tietoevry verifies that the solution offers end customers outstanding performance along with the benefits of cloud-native implementation including agility, flexibility, and scalability.

Cloudification of the Edge with Cloud-native Network Functions

OpenStack has been selected as the cloud platform of choice for NFV and SDN. While OpenStack supports basic levels of availability it does not support service continuity and stateful fault tolerance. However, most VNFs and SDN applications need service continuity and state protection.  Unfortunately, this time-consuming and complex task is generally left to the applications – until now!

Providing transparent HA and Resiliency in the software infrastructure is significantly less complex and less time consuming. This talk will show a flexible and efficient way of deploying dynamic resiliency for any application, with selectable levels of availability, including stateful fault tolerant with geo-redundancy, without code changes. 

What Attendees will learn:
•How to achieve seamless service continuity with fully stateful fault tolerance for any application, in an NFV and SDN environment
•How to fully automate a cloud workload environment, with selectable levels of availability, for all applications including control and forwarding elements, with different latency requirements.
•How to transform Telco network equipment efficiency from the traditional 45% utilization towards a model that provides 80% to 90% utilization
