SDDC Software Defined Data Center Packet Data Network Virtual Tap

Network Packet Generator Taps Application in SDDC Software Defined Data Center

SDDC (Software Defined Data Center) is a technology that virtualizes and softwares all physical and hardware resources of Data Center.

SDDC relies on virtualization and cloud computing technologies. The goal of SDDC is to virtualize all physical resources in the data center. Through virtualization technologies, it builds a resource pool composed of virtual resources, including not only server virtualization, but also storage virtualization and network virtualization.It can not only simplify the difficulty of server change, storage change and network configuration, but also make the management and configuration of server, storage and network have repeatability and sustainability.

SDDC enables hardware resources to be configured and scheduled through software, increasing flexibility and agility, with the significant advantage of significantly reducing data center costs. Management is made easier by the centralized software management provided by SDDC. At the same time, SDDC allows software to manage the network and make the network part of the data center. Proprietary network can greatly improve the efficiency of hardware, so the importance of software cannot be underestimated.

Software Defined Data Center will become a new direction and trend of data center evolution.

SDN: Software Defined Network, which is a revolutionary change that solves some of the inevitable problems in traditional networks, including lack of flexibility, slow response to demand changes, inability to virtualize the network, and high costs.Under the current network architecture, network operators and enterprises cannot provide new services quickly because they have to wait for equipment providers and standardization organizations to agree and integrate new functions into a proprietary operating environment.This is obviously a long wait, and perhaps by the time the existing network actually has this new capability, the market will have changed a lot.

SDN Benefits as follows:

No.1 - SDN provides more flexibility for network use, control and how to generate revenue.

No.2 - SDN speeds up the introduction of new services.Network operators can deploy related features through controlled software, rather than waiting for a device provider to add a solution to its proprietary equipment.

No.3 - SDN reduces the operation cost and error rate of the network, because it realizes the automatic deployment and operation and maintenance fault diagnosis of the network and reduces the manual intervention of the network.

No.4 - SDN helps to realize the virtualization of the network, thus realizing the integration of computing and storage resources of the network, and finally enabling the control and management of the entire network to be realized through the combination of some simple software tools.

No.5 - SDN makes the network and all IT systems better oriented to business goals.

What's the Network Packet Broker and Network Taps to do?
With the acceleration of carrier broadband construction and the rapid development of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, and with the popularity and development of big data and cloud computing technologies, data traffic is growing, and the bandwidth requirements for backbone networks and core networks are increasing. Since 2013, the major operators have begun to gradually upgrade the backbone network. The core backbone network transmission link media starts to be expanded from 10GPOS and 40GPOS links to 100G Ethernet links. It will inevitably lead to the continuous updating of big data collection and analysis technology. In the face of 100GE link environment with high bandwidth capacity, how to effectively meet the requirements of various national security, network security monitoring, operator intelligent pipeline DPI data collection and analysis will become a hot spot in the field of data acquisition and analysis.
Chengdu Shuwei Communication is following the development direction of the Internet and develop the MATRIX-TCA-CG Traffic Acquisition(Traffic Capture) Visibility System, and dedicated to the traffic collection and visual analysis application requirements on 1GE, 10GE, 10G/40G POS, 40GE and 100GE links. The MATRIX-TCA-CG integrates free-steering output functions such as network flow collection/acquisition, aggregation, filtering, forwarding/distribution, and load balancing and provides an efficient solution for the flow analysis.
 
Matrix-TCA-CG is a network data visualization control device for high density and large flow of 10G/40G/100G.
Matrix-TCA-CG is specially designed for the data collection of 10GE 40GE and 100GE links distributed intensively in operators mobile Internet export, IDC export, provincial network and backbone.
Based on ATCA standard architecture, MATRIX-TCA-CG has high carrier-level reliability and strong expansibility which can smoothly configure the functional board CARDS to cope with port demand scenarios of various specifications and sizes.

  
SDN Network Packet Broker Applications:

After sorting out the main participating entities of the network, the application scenarios of SDN basically focus on telecom operators, government and enterprise customers, data center service providers and Internet companies.The application scenarios of SDN mainly focus on: data center network, interconnection between data centers, government-enterprise network, telecom operator network, and business deployment of Internet companies.

Scenario 1: application of SDN in data center network

Scenario 2: application of SDN in data center interconnection

Scenario 3: application of SDN in government-enterprise network

Scenario 4: application of SDN in telecom operator network

Scenario 5: application of SDN in the service deployment of Internet companies
