Abstract
In this paper we consider Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI), a new concept for integrated control and management of converged heterogeneous resources. SDI enables programmability of infrastructure by enabling the support of cloud-based applications, customized network functions, and hybrid combinations of these. We motivate SDI in the context of a multi-tier cloud that includes massive-scale datacenters as well as a smart converged network edge. In SDI, a centralized SDI manager controls converged heterogeneous resources (i.e., computing, programmable hardware, and networking resources) using virtualization and a topology manager that provides the status of all resources and their connectivity. We discuss the design and implementation of SDI in the context of the Canadian SAVI testbed. We describe the current deployment of the SAVI testbed and applications that are currently supported in the testbed.
