As part of the 1/2 day workshop, Intel has brought together a number of its partner companies to demonstrate that 'NFV is here and is ready to be deployed today'. Tony will give an overview on Intel's Network Builder program, the benefits of membership and how Intel works with its partner companies to build mutual opportunities in the NFV market.

With over 2 years of NFV experience and involvement in around 30 POCs, the VNFs and the platforms have developed rapidly. This session will outline some of the findings from those POCs and discuss the plans for real production deployments.

Mavenir Systems (NYSE: MVNR) provides software-based networking solutions that enable carriers to deliver next generation services over 4G LTE networks. Mavenir™ has a fully virtualized end to end portfolio of Voice/Video, Messaging and Mobile Core products that are used by carriers worldwide. Mavenir leverages 6WIND and the Intel DPDK to increase packet processing performance in their solutions. Mavenir and 6WIND will discuss recent deployment use cases and how mobile operators are moving towards virtualized infrastructure.

Best practices for deploying self-service ADC
Attend this session to learn about how to design-in application delivery services to your SDN environment and cloud architecture to ensure availability, scale and performance for your applications. The session will focus on design aspects that are specific to multi-tenant, self-service LBaaS consumption models, and will include best practices for the following -

• Automating and exposing ADC as "self-service," and pros and cons of emerging service insertion models for ADC services
• Automated scale out models for seamless capacity on demand
• Resource allocation and isolation best practices for cloud tenants.
• Going beyond basic load balancing - Use cases for advanced ADC functions in the cloud

The Road to NFV Deployment - Don't Leave Things to Chance

Moving from the physical to a new virtual world is a huge endeavor for service providers. The benefits of migrating to network functions virtualization (NFV) are great. The unknowns are equally daunting. But success does not need to be left to chance. Utilizing the right NFVi platform with a robust ecosystem of integrated software technologies can provide the necessary deployment assurances while also safeguarding the must haves of reliability, performance, and scalability.

Join Wind River and Ixia for a lively discussion on what it really takes to migrate to services the new world NFV. Can NFV deliver the same performance, resiliency, and security as traditional networks? What things still left to chance?

This presentation will highlight unique ecosystem-based NFV solutions and approaches that network operators are evaluating for the deployment of real-time communications (RTC) services using high-performance Virtual Network Functions like Session Border Controllers, Intelligent Messaging, WebRTC Gateway, Wireless Access Gateway, Session Routing and Applications Servers.
