Re-architected as a Datacenter (Residential CORD or R-CORD)
architecture, advancing SDN, NFV, and the cloud model into the
service provider access network. This integrated turnkey access
solution for R-CORD combines the CORD open software and hardware
building blocks with Radisys’ OCP-based DCEngine™ platform and the
carrier-grade Calix AXOS E9-2 Intelligent Edge System, featuring
the recently announced AXOS OFx Connector with the open source
vOLT-HA integration software as well as 10G PON converged fiber
access (NG-PON2 and XGS-PON). By deploying the converged cloud edge
solution in their last mile network, service providers can
accelerate new service introduction while maintaining the highest
quality of experience for their subscribers.

The shift to a subscriber-driven network, combined with rapid
device proliferation and bandwidth intensive applications, is
creating the need to rethink access network design. Service
providers must address these challenges while balancing deployment,
upgrade, and maintenance costs. Unlike traditional closed
proprietary systems, forward-looking broadband access investment
must embrace open software-controlled infrastructure that allows
service providers to improve agility and lower costs, while
accelerating new service revenue generation. The Radisys and Calix
open CORD-based architecture provides a converged turnkey solution
that delivers on the promise of one seamless, open network with
Software Defined Access.
“CORD has captured wide interest in the industry as a preferred
migration strategy architecture for service providers looking to
bring datacenter economies and cloud agility to their networks,”
said Shane Eleniak, vice president of systems products at Calix.
“Calix and Radisys are committed to enabling these migrations at a
pace that matches the preference of each service provider. The
Calix/Radisys R-CORD POD takes advantage of the flexibility and
modular architecture of our award-winning AXOS E9-2 Intelligent
Edge System, AXOS OFx Connector, and vOLT-HA integration software.
With this announcement, R-CORD has just made the leap from theory
to reality. The combination of Radisys’ CORD expertise and the
componentized architecture and native NETCONF/YANG interfaces and
anySDN flexibility of the Calix AXOS platform has now delivered the
world’s first commercially available R-CORD POD solution, and marks
the beginning of a new era, bringing the promise of SDN into the
access network.”
“As a CORD partner and premier systems integrator, Radisys is
teaming with Calix to deliver a carrier-grade, turnkey R-CORD
platform built with scalable open software and hardware systems,”
said Bryan Sadowski, vice president, FlowEngine and DCEngine,
Radisys. “Our successful integration of the vOLT-HA software with
Calix’s commercialized next-gen passive optical network (PON)
system and the R-CORD open source reference architecture on
DCEngine infrastructure delivers an adaptable software-defined
cloud platform for accelerating service innovations at the network
edge. With commitment to open source platforms coupled with
professional service integration expertise, Radisys is poised to
carry out end-to-end integration and lifecycle management of R-CORD
as a deployment-ready, scalable solution across the globe.”
Trials of the R-CORD solution running on Radisys’ OCP-based
DCEngine hyperscale platform integrated with the Calix AXOS E9-2
Intelligent Edge System are currently underway with multiple
tier-one service providers. As part of the field trials, Calix is
providing the physical optical termination system, while the
Radisys DCEngine 16U Integrated Rack, based on the OCP-ACCEPTED™
CG-OpenRack-19 specification, provides a multi-rack level network
functions virtualization (NFVi) and container-based infrastructure
necessary for hosting thousands of virtualized network functions
(VNFs) and applications under open software-defined networking
control.
