FUJITSU's work for SDN


Yasushi Okada
FUJITSU LIMITED
[Bio]
in April 1984, and had been engaged in development of wireless communication equipment such as satellite communication system and mobile base station system.
In June 2012, he was assigned to the Deputy Head of Access Network Business Unit, and was in charge of expansion of LTE related product portfolio (mainly base stations) and global business promotion. In April 2014, he was moved to the Deputy Head of Network Integration Business Unit, and engaged in solution planning and global business promotion based on SDN/NFV technology.
In July 2014, he was assigned to the Deputy Head of Global NI Project Office (present position) and has same responsibility.
[Abstract]
Fujitsu, who became a board member of Okinawa Open Laboratory since September 2014, introduces SDN and NFV activities and future directions. Under the various changes of ICT environment such as social, cloud, mobility and big data utilization, Fujitsu foresees future changes on ICT world which will be brought by SDN/NFV technologies. In such circumstances, Fujitsu revealed Fujitsu Intelligent Networking and Computing Architecture in May 2013, and started to deliver commercial products for wide area network (WAN) which are based on that architecture in May 2014. Fujitsu will provide total solutions which are combined with our experiences and technologies in data cloud / carrier network business, including alliance experiences with global vendors. As one of solution development approach, Fujitsu started POC (Proof Of Concept) activities from April 2014. In this presentation, we will introduce some PoC activities such as SDN control for transmission nodes, scalable SDN controller, and distributed processing middleware which will provide high reliability and cost saving.

Introduction and Project Status


Tom Fifield
OpenStack Foundation
[Bio]
After learning about scalability in computing from particle physics experiments like ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider, Tom led the creation of the NeCTAR Research Cloud - designed for the publicly-funded research sector in Australia. Part of a $47M government project, it currently serves more than 2500 researchers directly, and is expanding to a capacity of 30,000 cores over 8 sites distributed over every major city.
Following working as a cloud architecture consultant and team lead for several years, Tom is currently harnessing his passion for large scale distributed systems by focusing on their most important part: people. As Community Manager at the OpenStack Foundation it's his job to make the users and developers of OpenStack happy.

Next Generation Network Architecture lead by SDN and NFV


Yuji Sekiya
The University of Tokyo
[Bio]
Dr. Yuji Sekiya graduated from Kyoto University and completed graduate
school of Media and Governance at Keio University. He is an associate
professor at the University of Tokyo, Information Technology Center.
Also, he is a board member of WIDE Project. He had been working on
developing IPv6 protocol stack, USAGI Project, and currently he has
been working on cloud computing. SDN, NFV, and Cyber Security.
[Abstract]
The present network environments are changing. It happens due to
the traffic growth by the increasing number of mobile and IoT devices,
and the changing of the traffic pattern by deployment of cloud services
and application behaviors. Hence, it is required for the architecture of
network infrastructure to conform such the changes. In this presentation,
I propose a new network architecture for network services and describe
the possibility. The new architecture will be constructed using SDN and
NFV as important elements. I also mention about the new research and
productive activities to construct the new network architecture.

SDN & NFV: driving the information-powered network operator


Paul Curtis
Ciena
[Bio]
[Abstract]
SDN and NFV free network functions from the constraints of fixed protocols. When network operational control is married with rich information and policy in cloud-scale IT systems, powerful things become possible. In this talk we will discuss the criticality of open systems and interfaces to constructing the "decision plane" systems of tomorrow's information-powered network operators, and show examples of progress and utility.

SDN Development in Taiwan


Wen-Chien Hung
Broadband Network Applications Center, SNSI/III
[Bio]
Mr. Wen-Chien Hung is the director of Broadband Network Applications Center of Institute for Information Industry (III), which is a Taiwan-government sponsored research institute. Mr. Hung is responsible for modern networking technology development and application integration, and his recent topics include LTE EPC, SDN, NFV, and vertical domain private networks. Mr. Hung is also highly involved in industrial promotion, and is one of the leaders of Taiwan SDN Alliance. Mr. Hung got his EE master degree from National Taiwan University in 1995.
[Abstract]
Following the market trends of SDN (Software Defined Network), there are many SDN technical research and product development activities in Taiwan, and international collaboration connections between Taiwan and global SDN ecosystem have been established. In this talk current status of Taiwan in SDN is introduced, including Taiwan SDN alliance, collaboration among the academic, industry, and research institutes, SDN innovation contest, and ONF-authorized SDN certification laboratory. We hope further SDN collaboration between Japan and Taiwan can be made by understanding more about each other.
