In 2016 Walker and Associates launched its industry leading Walker Software Networking Lab to help define the next generation of telecommunications infrastructure and provide our customers an environment to evaluate this inno-vative technology. As cloud based technologies, services delivery platforms, smart devices, and automation become more prevalent, the very structure of the Internet will continue to shift, from a static platform based architecture to a dynamic software driven platform able to add resources and applications to meet increasing user demands. The interoperability of server platforms and open standards will drive the costs of network hardware down and enable more choice in vendors preventing vendor lock-in. The “mass customization” of network operations allows multiple 3rd party applications and differentiated services to operate on single devices offering both CAPEX and OPEX savings by minimizing the complexity of heterogeneous networks.

OrchestratorsEnable a single point of entry for end-to-end VNF and network service lifecycle management, and achieve greater profitability through pol-icy-driven automation for quick and reliable service creation, activa-tion and assurance.

ControllersIntroduce programmability into networking allowing use of libraries of predefined policies, and offer a platform on which to independent-ly develop new networking features and applica-tions to meet the specific service needs of your organization.

SD-WANSD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of the WAN in-frastructure by decoupling the networking hardware from the con-trol mechanism. Allows companies to build high performance secure WANs across lower cost internet connections independently or in cor-relation with MPLS networks.

Virtual Routers – Firewalls – IPS/IDS Convert the functions of traditional hardware-based network appli-ances to software than can be run on standard Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) hardware. This has advantages of lowering hardware costs and allowing more hardware interoperability, rather than re-quiring a proprietary hardware platform.

vCPE (CPE w/ x86)Simplify the way that Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity and ap-plications are purchased, provisioned, and managed. Virtual CPE can replace specialized proprietary gear with commodity hardware that can be rapidly updated and provisioned from the cloud with open software.

SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKING SOLUTIONS

Software Defined Networking (SDN)SDN is an innovative network architecture that improves network flexibility and manageability by separating the network data and control planes. Network control is directly programmable because it is decoupled from forwarding functions. Network intelligence is centralized in software-based SDN controllers that maintain a global view of the network. SDN can further simplify the complex task of defining the workflows that activate and manage services by chaining the tasks into a Service Chain to improve packet flow by identifying application type, source and destination addresses and other data characteristics. Simplification is an imperative to delivering services rapidly and in a profitable manner in today’s telecommunication networks.

Network Function Virtualization (NFV)NFV is the next generation of telecommunications applications. With NFV, service creation and product teams can now quickly build new services using virtual functions. The virtualization of network functions reduces the number of hardware appliances and simplifies the task of building complex and higher value services. NFV enables deployment of network services when and where needed on virtual machines (VMs). NFV allows for consolidation of many network equipment types on to industry-standard, cost-effective, scalable, and secure high-volume servers, switches, and storage devices.
