OPNFV is driving a lot of momentum and interest around Open Source and NFV. But to be competitive in today’s market, you cannot afford to waste time on lengthy integration projects – you need to be in the market now with a high performance, highly available carrier grade NFV solution. In addition, the solutions for today also need to be future-proofed; i.e. based on open source and the work being done by OPNFV, ETSI and OpenStack. Thus, a successful open NFV strategy is based on adherence to the critical standards programs currently underway, while adding just the right amount of IP to fill critical gaps and provide market differentiation.
One approach is to use open source reference platforms to get started with proof of concepts for NFV, but once in deployment you need a proven, reliable, and commercially supported carrier grade platform. Ensuring that an NFVI platform is Carrier Grade is a complex business that includes API support for VNFs, OpenStack plug-ins for Carrier Grade features, KVM enhancements for real-time and more.
In this session, learn how the combination of Open Source technologies, ETSI standards, high performance, and plug-ins that guarantee Six 9’s availability comprise a solution that is ready-for-NFV today. Wind River will showcase its Titanium Server NFVI platform focusing on how it is built from OPNFV and ETSI reference platforms.
