Open Source NFV: Lessons Learned from End Users
Telecom / NFV

Panel moderator: Alan Clark

Set to transform the way networks are designed, NFV has seen explosive growth over the past few years, with more telecoms testing PoCs to verify real-world applicability for emerging use cases. Many of the world’s largest communications companies and enterprise network operators—including Orange, Docomo, AT&T and China Mobile—are embracing NFV via open source projects like OPNFV and OpenStack. These communities are tightly integrated and collaborate across projects and teams to innovate rapidly as they work to meet carrier-grade end user requirements and accelerate NFV deployments. In this panel, leading telecoms involved in both OPNFV and OpenStack will discuss emerging NFV use cases; PoCs and testing; how they work with both OpenStack and OPNFV; what’s unique about each project; and what results they’re achieving through open source NFV.

 

The Telecom/NFV track is brought to you by OpenStack and OPNFV.


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees can expect to learn how OPNFV and OpenStack are helping to make NFV a relatiy via concrete, real-world examples from the industry.
