Introducing Open Platform for NFV Please direct any questions or comments to 1

Communications Networks Evolving Growth of data traversing the network Cloud computing changing the way applications are delivered and consumed Operators are under pressure to meet demands for services from consumers, enterprises and the Internet of Things Industry shift towards Software-Defined Networking and Network Functions Virtualization 7/2/2015OPNFV Introduction2

Industry Needs Flexibility, efficiency, new service offerings Cloud-based delivery models Dynamic bandwidth allocation Common standards for core network elements Integration of existing open source NFV building blocks Ecosystem collaboration, coordination and testing Carrier-grade service performance 7/2/2015OPNFV Introduction3

OPNFV is a carrier- grade, integrated, open source reference platform for NFV 7/2/2015 OPNFV Introduction 4

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 Promote OPNFV as the preferred open reference platform 7/2/2015OPNFV Introduction5

OPNFV Initial Scope To provide NFV Infrastructure (NFVI), Virtualized Infrastructure Management (VIM), and APIs to other NFV elements, which together form the basic infrastructure required for Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and Management and Network Orchestration (MANO) components. 7/2/2015OPNFV Introduction6

Why Open Source? The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost and the opportunity to drive open standards. Faster, lower cost and higher quality development through sharing of resources via collaboration. Community decisions about new features and roadmaps. A common environment for uses and App developers. Ability to focus resources on differentiating development. 7/2/2015 Bottom Line: The open source model significantly accelerates consensus, delivering high performing, peer- reviewed code that forms a basis for an ecosystem of solutions. OPNFV Introduction8

Upstream OSS Projects Integration Work directly with upstream standards bodies (ETSI and others) Work directly with upstream open source projects (OpenDaylight, OpenStack, KVM and Xen, and many others) Leverage existing codebases Integrate existing open source components Identify gaps to create new code Provide a point of integration, testing and performance optimization 7/2/2015 Result: Best reference platform for carrier-grade NFV implementations OPNFV Introduction9

What Members Are Saying “OPNFV is a unique organization that provides an ecosystem for users to work directly with the Open Source development community for an NFV platform” –AT&T “We expect OPNFV to lead the open source development of next generation core network elements and application.” –China Mobile “It’s important to Vodafone to advance the state-of-the-art of telecommunications networks. OPNFV gives us a vehicle to do just that.” –Vodafone “The time is right for OPNFV, as it brings the industry together to build a common platform to drive consistency and adoption.” -Juniper Networks “There are important standards in place for SDN and NFV, as well as a variety of open source components. OPNFV will bring these elements together. -Ericsson 7/2/2015OPNFV Introduction12

How It Works A Business (Board) and Technical (TSC) governance structure separates business decisions from meritocratic, technical decisions 7/2/2015 Board sets business direction and scope for the Project Board Audit & Finance Committee IP & Legal Committee Marketing Committee Technical Steering Committee (TSC) Projects TSC sets technical direction for the overall Project Financial oversight Policy oversight Oversight of all marketing: web, press/analysts, collateral, etc. Projects drive code development, testing, integration and reference platform releases OPNFV Introduction13
