Finnish service provider chooses Cloud Peak to
simplify NFVi benchmarking
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
that Finnish service provider Elisa has selected Keysight’s Cloud
Peak cloud infrastructure testing software to accelerate the design
and deployment of their next-generation 5G virtualized
networks.
Service providers need to deploy virtualized and containerized
cloud-native networks to quickly roll out new services and respond
to changing demand. Therefore, they need powerful tools to test the
performance and reliability of the underlying network functions
virtualization (NFV) infrastructure including compute, networking
and storage, as well as the management and orchestration (MANO)
system.
Challenged by the complexity of deploying high-performance,
reliable and agile virtualized networks on a cloud infrastructure,
Elisa needed a solution that could easily measure the performance
impact of various technologies, architecture design alternatives
and vendor solutions. Elisa selected Keysight’s Cloud Peak software
for testing compute, storage and networking infrastructure to
design new platforms and continuously benchmark production
clusters.
“As a market leader in Finland, service quality and customer
experience are priorities for Elisa. 5G evolution, virtualization
and cloudification open new possibilities to rapidly and
cost-efficiently create and launch new services for our customers,”
said Matti Swan, lead architect of Elisa. “New technologies such as
NFV require extensive end-to-end testing to fine-tune production
design. That’s why we chose to work with Keysight.”
Keysight’s Cloud Peak helps service providers design an optimal
5G infrastructure by validating NFV throughout the continuous
integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. This includes
disaggregated fabric benchmarking and characterization of NFV
infrastructure to compare technologies, identify bottlenecks and
optimize configurations. Cloud Peak builds on the Open Platform for
NFV (OPNFV) Yardstick framework, providing access to the
industry-standard, open source test suite, while improving on and
expanding its capabilities with new use cases. It also adds new
capabilities such as container and virtual infrastructure manager
(VIM) performance testing in an easy-to-use, lightweight and
automated web application.
“As service providers virtualize their networks to
cost-effectively deploy cloud-native 5G and roll out innovative new
services, they need to ensure their infrastructure delivers the
performance and reliability their customers depend on,” said Ram
Periakaruppan, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s
Network Test group. “Elisa provided great feedback in the
development of Cloud Peak’s robust and scalable testing
capabilities, as well as in the development of Cloud Peak’s
easy-to-use web-based, real-time reporting.”
