CSPs base their entire business on the foundations of performance and reliability. As the industry shifts to NFV deployments, providing similar or superior levels of "carrier-gradeness" to current capabilities is critical. Whether it is being able to monitor the health of the VNF in near real-time or the rapid detection of a compute host failure or taking some remedial action such as self-healing due to VNF loss, OpenStack needs to provide a highly available, scalable and reliable platform.
Attend this session to learn about how OpenStack can be augmented with carrier grade capabilities. The talk will include details on High Availability extensions, carrier-grade Linux, carrier-grade KVM, in-service upgrade capabilities and other such features that will help CSPs migrate to an NFV-based communication infrastructure.
