PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Executives from Cyan (NYSE: CYNI), a leading provider of SDN, NFV, and packet-optical solutions for network operators, will be presenting and participating in a panel on SDN and NFV, in addition to leading multiple live proof of concept demonstrations at the Layer123 SDN and OpenFlow World Congress in Düsseldorf, Germany from Oct. 14-17.

The company will showcase multiple real-world implementations of the award-winning Blue Planet SDN and NFV Orchestration Platform, including its recently announced ability to automate, manage, and provision Ethernet services across Cisco ASR and Juniper MX platforms.

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, Cyan Founder and CTO Steve West will present on the topic of “Silo-Busting and Software-Defined Infrastructure” as part of the Network and Transport Forum at 2:55 p.m. CEST. The same day, Cyan Director of Software Innovations Nirav Modi will join the SDN and NFV panel discussion “Iterative Software Development or Silicon, Which is Best?” as part of the Cloud SDN and NFV Forum at 5:30 p.m.

Conference attendees also will have a chance to experience live SDN and NFV demonstrations throughout the event in the ETSI NFV PoC Zone. Cyan will be leading two live demonstrations of Planet Orchestrate, the multi-vendor, multi-domain NFV and Cloud orchestration application for Cyan’s Blue Planet SDN Platform, including:

  • Multi-Vendor Distributed NFV: A virtual CPE (vCPE) application in which vFirewall and vEncryption functions are seamlessly deployed on a carrier grade Ethernet service. Cyan's Planet Orchestrate manages and orchestrates a network comprised of a physical (NID and VM infrastructure) and virtual (firewall and encryption appliances) components.
  • E2E vEPC Orchestration in a Multi-Vendor Open NFVI Environment: Complete Ethernet and virtual EPC provisioning from the cell tower, through backhaul to the data center through a multi-vendor network of virtual and physical devices. Cyan's multi-vendor and network function-neutral orchestrator showcases a real-world deployable virtual service.

Cyan also was selected to present in the ONF SDN Solutions Showcase with global customer KVH as part of the Carrier SDN and WAN Technologies category. Cyan and KVH will demonstrate automated, on-demand Ethernet service provisioning and dynamic bandwidth allocation ("bursting") across a multi-vendor, multi-service network. The end-to-end orchestration of cloud-centric and carrier-grade Ethernet services is provided by an integrated multi-layer management system and SDN controller.

The SDN and OpenFlow World Congress is Europe’s principal conference for network innovation. For more information about the event, visit http://www.layer123.com/sdn.
