Smart Disaster Recovery (DR) for NFV

Overview

CCVPN includes across-domain network service provisioning and operation. Where, disaster recovery is one of the important feature to provide with rising up of multiple access and Cloud computing technologies.  DR feature will cooperate private and public Cloud to provide fine granularity recovery management for network services. 

Dublin Goals

  1. Enhancements to Information & Data Model - Extend CCVPN IM &DM for DR services

  2. Enhancements to DR compliant validation when on-boarding - Extend the existing validation for lifetime compliance validation

  3. DR Activation/Configuration -  enable DR awareness when provisioning and operations a NS

  4. Direct Service Recovering - Implementation of DR service across domains to provide fine granularity management during the elapse time

  5. Recovering Status Notification - Notify to service administrators that the Service has been recovering or progress in the service bus

  6. Smart workload balancing - smart optimization and selection when recovering for connection reliability and efficiency

  7. Future Releases (El Alto and beyond)

    1. Intent programming based trigger and receiver

    2. Predicability based optimization

    3. VPN as a service

Business Requirement

DR Services are used by Operators to connect different Cloud for DR usage. For example, multiple Cloud Consumers can connect with different Clouds for replication/recovery between different domains/sites.  

Participating Companies

VMware

Scope

Dublin release will focus on enabling of basic functions.  If possible we may attempt to complete smart optimzaition modeling as well.
