We Need To Work Together

OPNFV is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform to accelerate the introduction of new NFV products and services.

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 to meet the needs of end users

•  Promote OPNFV as the preferred platform and community for open source NFV

OPNFV – Arno (June 4, 2015) •  Baseline foundation to enable continuous integration,

automated deployment deployment and testing of components necessary to build an NFV platform from upstream components such as OpenDaylight, OpenStack, Open vSwitch, Ceph & KVM.

•  Arno is aimed at anyone who is exploring NFV deployments, developing VNF applications, or interested in NFV performance and use case-based testing.

•  Provides an initial build of the NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) and Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) components of ETSI NFV architecture.

•  Arno SR1: Designed to address known issues in the initial release for incremental stability and improved predictability.
