SERVICES

NFV Services

The need for business agility, scale, everything as a service (XaaS) has led to several disruptions in the way network services are delivered. We have seen the transition from physical machines to virtual machines and then to containers. More recently, we have actively worked with acceleration technologies like DPDK and NIC offload, embraced ASICS and programming models like P4 and developed solutions using Intent Based Networks.

As a result, Happiest Minds brings together all this expertise to offer comprehensive end to end NFV Services which include:

VNF Development & Porting

Design and Development of VNFs Enhancement of VNFs Performance tuning and optimization using technologies like DPDK, PFRING, SRIOV etc.

DPDK and other technologies

Virtualization, Containerization VNF MANO Development of VNF Management Applications and Systems Integration with Open Source and 3rd party software VNFM, VNFO like Tacker, Cloudify etc. Integration with NMS/OSS systems.

VNF Testing & Pre-Certification

Automated NFVI testing E2E VNF Pre-Certification Testing System Validation – Multi-platform, Multi-vendor VNF Performance testing using industry standard tools such as Yardstick, Tempest, Rally, Ostinato, IXIA, SPIRENT, Intel NSB

SDN Services

Evolving from the separation of the control and data plane and openness, SDN has now come into its own, enabling critical functions like orchestration, provisioning and intent based networking. An SDN solution is an integral component in Telco Cloud NFV solutions, SD-WAN solutions and Enterprise data centers. We are now dealing with an ecosystem where we have open as well as proprietary solutions co-existing with pure play SDN and hybrid SDN solutions.

Network Element Engineering

System design based on OCP standards Data path and Control Plane software development OpenFlow agent development and integration Switching OS engineering

SDN Controller Engineering

Enhancements and hardening of open source SDN controllers Development of new services and APIs Northbound and South Bound providers of multi–application and multi-vendor deployment Integration with EMS/NMS/OSS systems and Network Automation Platforms

SDN Application Engineering

Development of SDN Applications and features. Integration with commercial and open source SDN controllers Integration with Portals, EMS / NMS systems.

SDN Testing and Test Automation

Test Automation frameworks for functional and conformance testing. Multi-protocol testing - OpenFlow, NetConf, OVSDB, P4 Runtime etc. E2E system testing including Network Intents, Orchestration, Application, Controllers and network elements.

Telecom Services

The Telecom Industry is currently undergoing a complete transformation to maintain its competitive advantage, as expectations of a seamless digital experience increase from enterprises as well as consumers. Telecom players are now focused on leveraging disruptive technologies such as Open Programmable Networks, SDN, NFV and Analytics to create low latency, high performance networks. The end goal is for these networks to come through on the demands of scale and quality on one hand, while bringing in 3rd Platform technologies like Cloud, Mobility, IOT, Big Data & Analytics on the other to create a strong application eco-system and maximize the full potential of B2B2X. Happiest Minds can assist Telecom Service Providers in this journey with our expertise in SDN, NFV, IOT, Analytics and DevOps.

Frameworks & Reference Implementations

Happiest Minds has always taken a proactive approach in providing the best in class engineering services to OEMs, ISVs, Service Providers and the entire Networking and Telecom eco-system. We have invested in creating frameworks and reference implementations which can help reduce the cycle times of our customers by using the right frameworks and implementations. It also consequently drives down steep learning curves due to experienced engineers with a wide variety of experience. The current frameworks available include:

Cloud Based WAN Orchestrator - Cloud based single pane of glass solution to manage the edge devices as well as the virtualized operator core, built on top of Open Day Light and Open Stack. uCPE - Adding more power to SDWAN solutions by uCPE based on Open Networking systems and White Box Switch, with each network function on the device containerized and service chained. Intent Based Network Configuration – Ease of making configurations using chat interface and Intent Engine, translating the intent to a standard data model like YANG and configuring the devices using SDN controller. MEC Edge System - End to End MEC Infrastructure including the Edge Device and Orchestrator providing programmability and service chaining of individual components to provide agile network services. P4 Based Load Balancer – An approach to have Stateful load balancer in the switch itself Test Frameworks

SDN-NFV Test Framework – A keyword driven, model based test framework with auto test case generation capabilities and rich library of test cases. E2E VNF Test Framework - Model based test framework for pre-certification level testing including VNF functionality, VNF lifecycle management and NFV MANO testing.

Happiest Minds framework for Multi Access Edge Computing

Multi access edge computing is a compute and network architecture concept that enables cloud computing capabilities and an IT services environment at the edge of a mobile network. Multi access edge computing is also an emerging technology that lets operators host content and applications close to the edge of the network.

MEC brings new levels of performance and access to mobile, wireless, and wired networks. The technology has the potential to upgrade today’s networking environment and evolve the market quickly into the IoT future.

With Happiest Minds’ framework for multi access edge computing powered by Intel processors, it is easy to demonstrate the aspect of service deployment and configuration and also provide solution acceleration which can be easily customized to develop a complete end to end MEC infrastructure or develop individual components.
