Realizing Business Continuity Planning over FELIX Infrastructure

FELIX federates existing Future Internet (FI) experimental facilities across continents to build a test environment for large-scale SDN experiments. The management framework developed by FELIX allows the execution of experimental network services in a distributed environment comprised of heterogeneous resources. The demonstration described in this paper showcases the implementation of the FELIX architecture over the federated experimental facilities across Japan and Europe leveraging on both the infrastructure resources and the FELIX management stack. The presented use-case also provides an important experimental scenario for data center operators who are developing Business Continuity Planning for IT services.
