Not Cost-Effective

• CAPEX

• OPEX

Not Agile Enough for On-Demand

• Time-to-market

• Rapid service provisioning

Not Designed for Virtualization or Cloud

• East-west traffic support

• Bottleneck for server virtualization

• From: dedicated appliances

• To: server software/VMs

• Widely enabled by SDN

• Forwarding plane modifiable by remote software

• ETSI NFV ISG

• Formal partner

• They do requirements

• We do specifications, POCs

• Common leaders, members, objectives

• OPNFV

• Cooperation, collaboration

ONF: Leading the Open SDN Movement

8

We are:

• Accelerating the adoption of open SDN

• Standardizing as little as necessary

• Advocates of experimentation, coding, open-source

• Created to benefit network operators

To us, SDN is:

• Physical separation of forwarding and control

• Simplification of networking devices

• Creating value through operator software

To us, Open is:

• Published

• Standardized

• Not controlled by a single party

Conclusions

12

• Networking: ripe with software opportunity

– Governed by external software

– Riding advances in distributed computing

– Integrated into IT

• ONF: putting the S in SDN

– Vision, architecture, specs, thought leadership

– Software as proof, integration, acceleration

– Trusted voice of Open SDN, where the innovators meet

Join us to accelerate the adoption of open SDN
