Verizon User Story

9

Speakers: Harshad Tanna, MehulShah, sharat nellutla, Fred Oliveira and Daniel Newman

Summary:• 3 pillars: Automation, Virtualization

and SDN over Commodity hardware (same as AT&T)

• Many work to do in NFV, applications are not yet well turned to run in a cloud environment

• Verizon want to avoid vendor lock in, same as AT&T

• Dynamic scaling and Load balancing is very limited

• Orchestration is still in infancy, multiple orchestrator needed to manage all network

• Infrastructure teams become service providers

Mirantis

12

Speaker: Boris RenskiSummary:• Pretty funny intro, they can

build clouds as well as Russian drinks vodka, plus they have a bear

• Most problems in Cloud implementation boil down to People and Process (example on Jira tickets for IT support)

• Thinking on Clouds on just Private vs Public is very simplistic as mixed models will prevail

• We are just at the beginning of this disruption and Cloud is still a small piece of total IT spending

• DevOps is changing ITVideo available here Here

Redhat, Intel and Cisco 1/3

13

Speakers: Karthik Prabhakar, VishJakkaSummary:• Joint solution with Cisco, NetApp and

Intel• Solution focused on simplification and

faster deployment • Fully validated solution, removed guess

reliability, availability and cost-effective• IaaS is the main use case• Cisco Validated Designs are available for

both FlexPod and Ceph Storage• Application policy-based infrastructure

with built-in plug-ins• Plenty of coverage on NFV and NFVI,

Cisco commented the number of RFPs on that area is growing exponentially.

• Cisco NFVI selling points? Carrier Grade, Open Elastic, Cloud ready, Multi Domain and Rich Partnerships

Redhat, Intel and Cisco 2/3

14

Speakers: Karthik Prabhakar, VishJakkaSummary:• Intent driven Model used on the solution,

hiding low level details and providing reusable policies (like AT&T recipes)

(previously acquired by ALU, now part of Nokia after the ALU adquistion)

• Automation and programmability are key features• Claim to have the first NFV ecosystem with CloudBand (over 60

companies building apps, testing and validating VNFs) • Nokia has embraced Open Source, big change from the “good old

days” where Brand diferenciation with proprietary code and IP was key.

• Bell Labs and its 30K+ patents are now part of Nokia• Lean Ops, provided demo of virtual infrastructure through Vitrage

on a visual 3D environment, showed NTT Docomo use case• Big Focus on reliability, notification on recovery on NFV use cases

• Vitrage GUI looked light years away from traditional OSS/BSS systems

• Vitrage provides Deducted alarms and states, root cause analysis and Holistic view of the system

Cloud-Scale Monitoring and Data analytics

My Closing Thoughts

28

• Over 7500 attendees, more senior, sponsors and exhibitors• OpenStack has overcome the HP exit well (HP abandoned Openstack for

Public Cloud at end of 2015 but remained commited to OS Private Cloud)

• What works: NFV / SDN for Telco // ISV Cloud // IaaS // Bare metal cloud

• Updates from WalMart, Volkswagen and WellsFargo are encouraging

• Simplification, Automation and Usability are keys for the future

• New certification effort

• Event similar to a AWS summit or VMWorld – who is who of Cloud ITpresent

• Most startup focused on Automation and Data analytics

Summary: Great OpenStack Summit, biggest attendance yet,much focus on automation and orchestration, many startups and big companies; more commercial traction will be coming.
