The Brocade Vyatta Platform deploys the Brocade Vyatta vRouter and Brocade vADX products, along with the open source software projects such as OpenDaylight and OpenStack, to support both application and subscriber clouds. It encompasses proven network functions virtualisation (NFV) and emerging software-defined networking (SDN) technologies based on open standards and open source initiatives.
“Brocade’s approach to NFV leverages both the ETSI ISG work and industry-wide interest in virtual routing and switching to shorten time-to-benefit and build toward the open approach that operators all want,” said Tom Nolle, President and Founder of CIMI Corporation, a technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) consultancy.
“Brocade’s platform offers an extensible way of creating network features and service value for operators, building on virtual routing and switching but providing ample support for feature extensions that can drive revenue and profit growth.”
Added Neela Jacques, Executive Director of OpenDaylight Project: “The OpenDaylight Project was founded on the knowledge that as customers adopted SDN and NFV technologies, interoperability was going to be a critical requirement and open source would serve as a major force in this area. The Brocade Vyatta Platform is leading by example in not only offering interoperability, but also embracing open source at the core of its strategy.”

The Brocade Vyatta Platform has three core layers:
- NFV Connection Services: Supports Layer 3-7 network functionality with the Brocade Vyatta vRouter and the Brocade vADX products, along with third-party elements where needed.
- SDN Structural Services: Leverages the OpenDaylight Project to simplify management.
- Functional Orchestration: Engage capabilities from OpenStack and interoperable third-party provisioning and orchestration layers.
Communication between the layers utilises transparent standards-based protocols and methods, including REST APIs and the NETCONF/YANG model, to ensure interoperability.
“The growing complexity of today’s virtualised networks has made it no longer feasible to rely on a single vendor to deliver an end-to-end solution that fits every customer’s requirements of service agility and scalability,” said Chee Keong Lam, Director of Data Center Fabric and Virtualization for Asia Pacific at Brocade.

“The Brocade Vyatta Platform is the industry’s first truly open platform to embrace a growing vendor ecosystem dedicated to open standards and open source projects for cloud and telco providers seeking software-based solutions to achieve new revenue streams and regain control over their networks.
"Furthermore, in working with industry partners we will continue to build out the Brocade Vyatta Platform to advance interoperability and ensure the platform is carrier-grade.”
Brocade is engaged with partners on broader industry initiatives, such as OpenDaylight and OpenStack, advancing their capabilities and ensuring seamless interoperability between platform layers. Additionally, Brocade is partnering with related vendor ecosystems.
