Avaya’s SDN Strategy
1. Leverage OpenStack to enable rapid service creation via a
common orchestration interface
2. Deploy Fabric Connect (an enhanced implementation of Shortest
Path Bridging) to link virtual/physical infrastructure and enable
flexible network services at any scale
3. Provide public access (APIs) allowing for customized interaction
with Fabric Connect
4. Extend orchestration and Fabric Connect to deliver end-to-end
service creation and delivery
5. Incorporate additional tools (middleware and policy) that automate
service creation and delivery through interaction with the
application layer

Why Waiting Isn’t Working
 90% of businesses are hurt by the
complexities of their networks
 IT waits 27 days to get a network
change window
 Businesses spend 9 months each
year waiting for IT to deliver a
change window
 82% of companies had downtime
caused by change errors to the core
 80% of companies lost revenue in
2013 as a result of downtime from
network change errors.
 1 in 5 companies fired staff as a
result of downtime caused by
change errors

The Evolution to the Software-Defined Data Center
Software-Defined Data Center
Example Applications
 Virtualization of infrastructure and
service components, by
application
 Common orchestration via single,
common user interface
 Goals:
CRM Web App’s HR
Integrated Orchestration
 Provide equivalent capability and
reliability to existing hardware
environments
 Allow applications to span both
physical and virtual resources
 Achieved by the integration of
Orchestration & Fabric
Fabric to interconnect disparate resource pools

OpenStack for Orchestration
What is it?
• Open source software for building private
and public clouds
• Global community of over 10k contributors
from 125 countries
• Delivers a scalable cloud operating system
Values
• Enables centralized control of resources (compute, storage, and networking) with a single
graphical interface
• Offers consistent operations in a multi-vendor Data Center environment (multiple
hypervisors, storage array’s etc)

A Closer Look at the Network
The challenge with the current VLAN model
Too many
touch points
and lack of
scale
Loops
 Use of VLAN’s can
lead to “islands” –
stranded resources
 Virtual appliance
requirements – service
chaining and mobility
 Not flexible – topology
dependence
 Hop by hop service
provisioning
 Limited to 4096 VLANs
How to move VMs across subnets or Data Centers?
VLAN model is complex, rigid and lacks scale

The Power of Avaya Fabric Connect
Avaya Fabric Connect solves current VLAN challenges
 Creates the virtual
backplane for the DC
 Logical topology
separate from physical
End-point
provisioning
with massive
scale
Loadbalanced
Loop-free
network
VM mobility across subnets and across Data Centers
 Unrestricted VM
mobility across DCs
 End-point provisioning
 16 million service
instances
 Integrated multitenancy
Network as agile as the virtualized compute
