Abstract
When Network Ops teams can point and click to deploy new
services in minutes, across heterogeneous platforms—agile
operations is truly realized. This is the promise of software-defined
networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). But
this next-gen technology brings with it complexity and management
headaches never seen before. As a IT management leader, CA
Technologies understands the highly complex and dynamic
SDN/NFV stack and introduces. The solution provides a bridge to
migrate existing Infrastructure Management systems to meet the
needs of SDN and NFV network velocity for reliable self-service and
automation. This is a must-attend session for CACA Virtual Network
Assurance Performance Management and/or CA Spectrum® users
with current or future SDN/NFV initiatives.

By 2019, video will make up 90% of all
internet traffic.1
213 million packets per second was
achieved in recent NFV performance
tests.3
By 2020, there will be 26 billion internet

“As SDN and NFV implementations expand to multiple datacenters
and multiple networks, operators will acknowledge network—and
service—orchestration as the most strategic component of their
virtualized infrastructure.”

SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
We’re at the beginning of a revolution…Are you ready?
SDN/NFV will transform and fuel the application economy.

But there is a problem.
Today’s infrastructure management solutions will not work for SDN/NFV.
TODAY’S INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT
The complexity & static nature of traditional networks creates a siloed infrastructure management approach based on manual consumption.
