SHOWCASE
•! Avoid long development cycles
–! Packaged HW/SW solutions, SDN-ready
–! Standard APIs (DPDK) for existing apps
•! Avoid proprietary HW lock-in
–! Standard x86 CPU complex
–! Carrier-Grade for telco environments
–! Scalable portfolio for data-center/enterprise
•! Validate Large-Scale traffic loads in advance
–! Can I support the number of flows/nodes in my SDN
network?
–! Do I have enough CPU capacity to keep up?

Watch our Demo!
•! Live windows for Advantech server, Spirent C1
•! Show flow table being populated with 1M flows
•! Start traffic on thousands of flows
•! Note CPU utilization on server does not spike, due to pre-packaged
SDN HW/SW
•! Increase traffic on active flows, up to wire speed
•! Note CPU utilization remains low, allowing apps to run
•! Conclusion: You don’t need to invest in years of HW/SW
development to deploy SDN in your network today.
•! Production equipment from Advantech, Netronome, validated by
Spirent.
