OPNFV is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source reference platform for NFV

2

OPNFV Project Goals

• Develop an integrated and tested open source platform that can be used to build NFV functionality, accelerating the introduction of new products and services

• Include participation of leading end users to validate OPNFV meets the needs of user community

• Contribute to and participate in relevant open source projects that will be leveraged in the OPNFV platform; ensure consistency, performance and interoperability among open source components

• Establish an ecosystem for NFV solutions based on open standards and software

• Promote OPNFV as the preferred open reference platform3

OPNFV Initial Scope

To provide NFV Infrastructure (NFVI), Virtualized Infrastructure Management (VIM), and APIs to other NFV elements, which together form the basic infrastructure required for Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and Management and Network Orchestration (MANO) components.

Upstream OSS Projects Integration

• Work directly with upstream standards bodies (ETSI and others)

• Work directly with upstream open source projects (OpenDaylight, OpenStack, KVM and Xen, and many others)

• Leverage existing codebases

• Integrate existing open source components

• Identify gaps to create new code

• Provide a point of integration, testing and performance optimization

Result: Best reference platform for carrier-grade NFV implementations 6

How It Works

• A Business (Board) and Technical (TSC) governance structure separates business decisions from meritocratic, technical decisions

Board sets business direction and scope for the Project

TSC sets technical direction for the overall Project

Financial oversight Policy oversight Oversight of all marketing: web, press/analysts, collateral, etc.

Projects drive code development, testing, integration and reference platform releases
