Carrier Grade OCP Open Solutions for Telecom Data Centers October 2016 Karl Wale PLM DCEngine, Radisys

Problem to be Solved Accelerate time to revenue = agile, software-centric service delivery infrastructure Increase rate of data center transformation, CSPs require proven data center platforms deployable in the central office: High density, scalable solutions Carrier-grade open hardware Rapid deployment and integration of open source and commercial software components Scalable software-based services and applications. Need a “Domain 2.0” Infrastructure Platform designed for rapid installation in data center environments customized to specific application needs Pre-integrated platform and management software, reducing application development and deployment risk Telecom application software, services and network operation frameworks and tools, to help operators deploy agile, DevOps service development and delivery capabilities

DevOps & OCP : An Open Source Platform For example, … CORD Package R/ Management & Automation Tools Deploy & Upgrade Rack Management Patch Automation Scripting Tools Test Automation Inventory & Lifecycle Mgmt And others available upon request. + + = Telecom OCP Rack Commercial & Open Source Software Software and Services DevOps ready

How Long To Deploy ? Weeks…1 Month…More ? - Schedule contractors …Receive components …Schedule different contractors …Build rack ….Install & test …all gated around scheduled maintenance windows

How Do You Achieve 3-4 day Install ? Telco OCP Derived Platforms Pre-wired & tested rack core, sleds are FRUs with fully optical interconnect to ToR switches Plug in Power Connect to Spine Slide in sleds …fast install …easy serviceability Add: Let’s change this one to add the picture of a bunch of DCE racks fully loaded vs the picture on the right

How Fast Can You Roll Out With OCP & DevOps Approach ? Day 1 Commissioning Unpacking Installation Packing disposal Day 2-3 Spine/Network Cabling Connectivity POD Power-on Day 4 Software Validation Network access Cluster Ready and handed over to you 30 Rack Integration ~ 1 week Racks in Your Cloud in Days If pre-load and test software … Even less time. Fast Time To Revenue Maintenance & Repair Services

Proof Point: DCEngine in Production at Verizon http://schd.ws/hosted_files/mesosconna2016/7a/Mesoscon_2016_cneth.pdf Modular Sled Architecture Up to 152 Xeon Processors Up to 3.0 PB Storage

Carrier Grade OCP Derived Platform Leverage Open Compute and Open Rack as a base model …true to OCP principles, rather than re-packaged chassis & blades Update and tune for telecom-oriented CO’s data centers practices Don’t constrain Rigid backwards compatibility not a hard requirement Easy adaptation of existing COTS elements (OCP-contributed and others) Agile-style approach to deployable system instantiations & iterate quickly Collaborate tightly with customers all along the way Work closely with interested partners Create something useful, share, evolve, and expand

Anatomy of Carrier Grade OCP Physical Suitable for CO retrofit and new telco data center environments 19” rack width and standard “RU” spacing for greatest flexibility 1000 to 1200mm cabinet depth, supporting GR-3160 floor spacing dimensions Content/workload Heterogeneous compute and storage servers Management Ethernet based OOB management network connecting all nodes via a TOR management switch Optional rack level platform manager Networking/Interconnect One or more Ethernet TOR networking switches for I/O aggregation to nodes Fiber cables, blind-mate with flexible interconnect mapping.  Environment, power seismic & acoustic CO environmental requirements applicable Safety and other certification standards also applicable NEBS optional (L1/L3)

CG-Openrack-19 : Sharing Back to the Community Submitted to OCP community as CG-Openrack-19 Specifications readily available Radisys DCEngine shipping as a commercially available solution Supplier eco-system developing, with first units in the lab now

Our Vision of CG-Openrack-19 Eco-system of vendors delivering racks & sleds …with new partners releasing their products soon Full wide sled Optical interconnect from ToR  sleds, minimizing latency, electrical noise/emissions & maximizing reliability 10G, nx10G, 25G & nx25G Half wide sled
