13. Event Observations
AT&T, DT, NTT, Telefonica - doing field trials and want to move to production
AT&T, DT, Telefonica, China Mobile, China Unicom - looking for commercial versions of CORD
All confirm they are working on new supply chains with new value chain solutions like CORD

14. Observations Sprint making M-CORD code contributions
QCT, Edgecore filling what used to be a void in white box hardware
Netsia, Radisys, Ciena, QCT, Edgecore building product now, not waiting
Speakers talking about wanting to form brigades

15. On the other hand...

16. Our challenges (opportunities)
Community depth and diversity

17. Getting comfortable with open source
Attorney fear - IP worries
Difficulty of figuring out where line is - infra or value add?
Is it a standard?
Using the code, but not contributing back - competitive worries
Lack of open source developer experience

18. Vendor/SP engagement models
Too slow to see $ commitments - limits investment
Never get to critical mass SP
Vendor / bakeoff / RFQ/RFP process
Even treat open source groups as vendors at times!

19. Ecosystem Where are the integrators?
(old models) Show me the money first…
(skills) We don’t have open source developers…
New model in networking
Huge opportunity for the company that figures this out…
Looking for advanced integrator help in Asia - China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom - much opportunity for deploy, localization….

20. Other challenges (opportunities)
Deploying in China
Building and deploying CORD in China was difficult because of several issues but working with China Mobile we have made significant improvements in CORD 4.0, and are very happy to hear CM report successful deployment of three E-CORD PODS.
The concept of “ready for prime time”
If we can’t get xx number of customers then why do this service
Edge as a service (platform) for your apps - local or global
Communication - projects I hadn’t heard of (SPs building CORD pods, Flexcloudlabs, Aricent framework at this event)

23. Final Observation
When did you last see more than 20 service providers so quickly converge and agree on a reference platform?

24. CORD Summary Network edge is undergoing a major transformation
Represents a huge opportunity
CORD has emerged as a compelling platform for the new network edge
Leverages disaggregation, open source and white boxes
Puts SDN, NFV and cloud technologies into a compelling solution
Many service providers experimenting and have plans for trials and deployment
CORD has a growing community of 60+ companies representing various stakeholders
CORD has been demonstrated to support all three domains of use
Residential (R-CORD)
Mobile (M-CORD)
Enterprise (E-CORD)

25. A personal viewpoint You are what you do
