NOKIA : Nokia and Jiangsu Telecom to deploy Carrier WAN-SDN core network to improve efficiency and flexibility of Internet Da...
September 01 2016 - 5:22PM
- The commercial Carrier WAN-SDN project helps Jiangsu Telecom
make optimal use of urban data centers and WAN resources
- Nokia's Network Service Platform (NSP) and 7950 Extensible
Routing System (XRS) core routers provide flexibility and
efficiency required to support rapidly-changing and ever-increasing
data demands
Nokia and Jiangsu Telecom, a regional branch of China Telecom,
are deploying China's first commercial Carrier
WAN-SDN project in data centers in
Yangzhou, Changzhou and other cities in Jiangsu, a neighboring
province of Shanghai. The deployment will help Jiangsu Telecom
achieve seamless, transparent and flexible management of Internet
Data Centers (IDC) in a unified manner.
The popularity of cloud technologies has
revealed the limitations of previous IDC router technology, showing
that it fails to support a seamless connection with the WAN and
meet ever-growing data demand. Older technology also keeps IDC
management and maintenance efficiency at a low level, hindering the
development of Internet services.
Jiangsu is deploying Nokia's Networks Services
Platform (NSP) to program its powerful core network router, the
next-generation 7950 XRS (Extensible Routing System). The XRS
provides the large capacity along with programmability to build the
core that connects the datacenters. The NSP is then able to program
the core to optimize the use of the resources by load-balancing the
traffic and adjusting to changing traffic demands. As a result,
Jiangsu Telecom will dramatically increase the flexibility of its
network, reduce overhead costs, meet the ever-growing data demands
of its subscriber base and support various application scenarios
such as accessing and connecting IDCs. Jiangsu will also be able to
pave the way for the future development of applications including
High Definition video, IoT and smart homes.
Key Facts:
- Jiangsu Telecom can achieve unified, seamless, transparent and
flexible IDC management to strengthen network flexibility and
efficiency, while reducing operational costs
- The 7950 XRS, based on a highly programmable Network Processor
(NP) architecture, provides the capacity and capabilities needed as
service requirements evolve
- Nokia's NSP adjusts and optimizes network traffic using
standard protocols such as OpenFlow, optimally directs network
traffic to balance load and maximize efficiency and
performance
- Nokia's NSP and 7950 XRS help Jiangsu stay ahead of increasing
data requirements and support various IDC application
scenarios
Mike Wang, head of the
joint management team of Nokia Networks China and ASB,
said: "As IDC network loads get heavier, operators are turning
to cloud-based technologies to balance their network and make IDC
management more efficient, flexible and seamless. Our
industry-leading NSP and powerful 7950 XRS will let Jiangsu Telecom
distribute its broadband resources intelligently and dynamically,
and make its networks more agile, scalable and efficient. We're
pleased to play such an important role in the first commercial
Carrier WAN-SDN deployment in China."
