Avaya Networking and Inocybe Set a New Benchmark for Scalability to Support Internet of Things - Seite 2

• First, an individual ODL instance is enabled to support up to 660 multi-protocol (Openflow and NetConf) virtual switches -- in this case, the Avaya ONA. Each edge switch port connects to a virtual switch (the ONA) that connects to an IoT device to be managed.
• Second, multiple paired instances of Avaya's ODL controller act as a cluster behind a load balancer, provided by KEMP Technologies, which allows the cluster to be viewed as a single entity by IoT devices.[255 limit x 660 = 168,300]
• Third, a distributed main-memory database and messaging bus allows the SDN solution to provide real-time data replication and consistency across different applications and services for a single control path failover; thus, creating a highly available environment where IoT devices can reconnect to ODL in a near transparent fashion.

Quotes

"Clients often come to us because their current technologies do not support the innovation and flexibility they need. What the Avaya project has demonstrated is that OpenDaylight is the right platform to build a robust IoT security and management platform."
-Mathieu Lemay, CEO, Inocybe Technologies

"It's one thing to connect thousands of devices to a network; it's another to make sure there's the security and manageability required by businesses. This is beyond connections, but eliminating the compromise between large scale deployments, security, and management. Based on our test, businesses can be confident that ODL is a solid, practical foundation for SDN deployments intended to support the future of IoT."
--Liam Kiely, vice president, Avaya Networking
