Network Function

A implementação de uma Network Function Virtualization (NFV) denota uma mudança generalizada nos serviços de comunicação e rede de uma rede de provedores de serviços para uma rede baseada em nuvem. Seu uso tem o potencial de fornecer serviços de rede baseados em nuvem com menores custos operacionais e de capital. Neste contexto, este trabalho visa identificar e discutir aplicações de NFV em arquiteturas de data center. Este estudo realiza uma revisão da literatura, para levantar as principais pesquisas sobre alocação de recurso de NFV no data center. A partir dessa pesquisa, foi identificado evidências sobre os problemas e soluções associadas a alocação de recursos de NFV em data centers. Finalmente, identificamos lacunas, desafios abertos que podem ser usadas para direcionar pesquisa futura.

The Impact

Data center infrastructures need to provide high availability of their services. Unexpected spikes of downtime in data centers lead to financial losses. Besides, there are intangible costs such as damaged reputation, low employee satisfaction, and reduced customer retention. In this context, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) emerged as a paradigm that assists data centers in becoming more dynamic and flexible. This paper presents an availability evaluation and importance analysis under the redundancy of NFV in data centers. The NFV data center component importance is represented by using Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD). The proposed models have identified the availability importance and critical devices in an NFV data center. This research also suggests alternatives for device redundancy to reach higher availability and proposes a new importance measure for analyzing the impact of NFV factors on data center availability. The measure can evaluate the degree of the impact of a failure on the data center, therefore, help to identify the factors with a substantial impact on data center availability.

This article describes how novel functionalities will take advantage of the cloud networking and will gradually replace the existing infrastructure of mobile networks with a virtualized one. Two technologies, namely software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV), offer their important benefits and a combination of them is an answer to the demands raised, such as central office re-architected as a data center (CORD). Open network operating system (ONOS) and POX are SDN controllers and offer an option to combine SDN and NFV addressing many ongoing problems in the field of mobile networks. In this paper, technologies and both controllers are compared and contrasted. Indicative cases of topologies are simulated and help evaluating both controllers. According to the experimental findings, ONOS is one of the most important controllers for practical, theoretical, research and educational purposes, while POX is a useful and simpler controller for other educative applications.

Network function virtualization (NFV) is a promising technique of high quality, flexible and scalable service for telecommunication companies clients and for enterprise data center clients. One of the important capabilities of this technique is providing a virtual service as a combination of multiple virtual functions. There are two types of virtual functions: those intended for a single customer (su-VF) and those that can serve multiple users (mu-VF). In case when output of mu-VF is chained with inputs of several different su-VFs, there is a need for a mechanism of identification and separation of users network flows passing through mu-VF to allocate them correctly between inputs of su-VFs in the NFV infrastructure. In the cloud environment, it is not always possible to use VLAN tags, IP and MAC addresses for that. In this paper, we consider the problem of identification of network traffic coming from a certain user inside an NFV platform and present a solution implemented in C2 MANO-platform.

Abstract Lead-free manufacturing regulations, reduction in circuit board feature sizes and the miniaturization of components to improve hardware performance have combined to make data center IT equipment more prone to attack by corrosive contaminants. Manufacturers are under pressure to control contamination in the data center environment and maintaining acceptable limits is now critical to the continued reliable operation of datacom and IT equipment. This paper will discuss ongoing reliability issues with electronic equipment in data centers and will present updates on ongoing contamination concerns, standards activities, and case studies from several different locations illustrating the successful application of contamination assessment, control, and monitoring programs to eliminate electronic equipment failures.
