Mainly CTO/Research driven
No executive priority
Maybe part of the NFV working groups
Multiple NFV projects
Small NFV teams, limited budget
"RFI like” activities
Considering Automation & Orchestration
Platform and/or use case driven approach
Defining a roadmap for NFV migration
On top executive agendas
RFQ’s ongoing
field trials move to small commercial deployments
Early adopters already planning the next phase (2nd app, site extension etc)

6. THE MARKET HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM NFV
Interoperability is key for an NFV platform requiring open APIs and common functionality, and standards processes are lagging open source
Scalability, flexibility, & extensibility
High asset utilization
Continuous deployments & upgrades
Open competitive landscape
Innovative ecosystem
NFV integration services
Most tier 1 Telco’s demand open solutions, and ask for open source and several push OPNFV
Pooling resources with other companies increases velocity and quality of the code
our customers expect open source to take a major part in achieving these benefits
Scalability, flexibility, and extensibility: it’s no longer adding boxes or nodes in the network COTS switching hardware and servers to execute VNFs in an NFV environment Software that programs services instead of re-architecting the network and the management system for every new service
High asset utilization: pool resources, including compute, storage, and network Optimization of asset utilization that translates into operational efficiencies
Continuous deployments and upgrades: no dedicated appliances No limitation in the number of network functions and services that can be introduced and phased out using software
Open competitive landscape: open source software and APIs Forcing a closer collaboration between service providers and various types of vendors
Innovative ecosystem: open competitive landscape Fostering innovation that could enable service providers to catch up with very agile Internet companies

7. so as vendors we have several options
proprietary code
tailor made for customer needs
long development cycles
customers challenge the value of proprietary code
customers are concerned with lock-in
MAKE
BUY
3rd party s/w stacks
feature & content compromises
VENDORS
BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY
open source usage
contribution & project initiation
community involvement

8. ensure our customers are provided with their required features WHEN THEY NEED THEM
our goal?
ADDRESS OUR CUSTOMERS NFV NEEDS & PROVIDE ADDED VALUE IN ALIGNMENT WITH OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS
guarantee ALIGNMENT with community direction through contributions as needed
evolve open source projects to our desired directions through focused community involvement & influence

9. our open-source strategy: Lead. don’t be led
NFV has gaps
these gaps will be filled
and new projects will be opened by the community
so, we can't wait
we must be proactive
and lead the community instead of being led
by finding the most critical NFV projects that ensure our differentiation
and securing our customers trust that we are pushing the critical issues
Networking
Analytics
LCM
Distribution
Etc.
Openstack
Value moving to Openstack
Cloudband
New Value in Cloudband
Contribute in areas where Openstack evolves
Maintain proprietary code in “out of scope” unique areas
Create value through advanced functionality in Cloudband

11. open source is not new to us…
OpenStack is the main cloud environment of choice for NFV, and CloudBand is increasing involvement, contribution and targets leadership in some projects
OpenStack, with thousands of developers evolves faster in many areas than proprietary solutions, and has become the de-facto standard for enterprise cloud management and NFV VIM
10,618 lines of code
15 blueprints
21 resolved bugs
151 lines of code

12. an OpenStack root cause analysis engine project initiated and led by CloudBand

13. an analytics engine for organizing, analyzing and expanding OpenStack alarms & events, generating insights on the Root Cause of problems and deducing the existence of problems before they are directly detected.
VITRAGE WILL PROVIDE:
MEANINGFUL, TIMELY AND HELPFUL EVENTS AND ALARMS
VISUALIZATION OF THE CAUSE- EFFECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EVENTS
Vitrage at the openstack summit (Tokyo)
OPENSTACK CEILOMETER APPROVED VITRAGE AS A SEPARATE OPENSTACK PROJECT (AND NOT AS PART OF CEILOMETER AS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED)
RECEIVED TECHNICAL VALIDATION OF THE HIGH LEVEL ARCHITECTURE.
what’s next for Vitrage:
Vitrage roadmap and plan to be included in CloudBand 3.2 and OpenStack Mitaka release
Intensive work on engagements with other companies to take an active part in Vitrage development
Continued engagements with other open source projects so that Vitrage will be presented as a project that takes a role in their use cases
Received recognition of the team’s ability to lead the project
Received the blessing of the community (OpenStack and OPNFV) to go ahead with Vitrage
Started building the community around Vitrage by initiating discussions with other companies

14. OPEN SOURCE IS A MIND-SET… AND WE HAVE TO ADAPT AND CHANGE
AGILE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS TO INCREASE RESPONSIVENESS AND IMPROVE TTM
GO UPSTREAM!
NEW ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES TO MONITOR AND TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH
ALLOW FLEXIBILITY FOR CHANGING PRIORITIES
IMPLEMENT TRUE WORK VISUALIZATION TRANSPARENCY – BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY
FOCUS ON BRINGING UTMOST VALUE TO THE CUSTOMER – TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY
