OPNFV Summit 2015

NFV & SDN are in the process of transforming telecommunications, cable, and networking. One key factor has been the open source movement, which has dramatically altered the technology adoption lifecyle. As network operators have become increasingly powered to drive the industry, the open source reference platform has emerged as a critical driver that is redefining the standards process.

In this presentation, we will examine the role of OPNFV on NFV's rapid evolution, by examining the implications on each phase of the technology adoption lifecycle, including use case formulation, architecture definition, requirements analysis, initial implications, and standardization.
