The Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV) Project, a community-led industry- supported open source reference platform for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), has announced that Dialogic, H3C and Qosmos are joining the project to advance the industry’s first integrated, open source NFV platform.
The OPNFV project was launched in September 2014 with an intention of developing an open source reference platform for NFV with AT&T, Brocade, China Mobile, Cisco, Dell, Ericsson, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Juniper Networks, NEC, Nokia Networks, NTT DOCOMO, Red Hat, Telecom Italia and Vodafone being the platinum-level founding members. The project has 52 members todate, joining forces to accelerate the implementation of open source NFV.
The networking industry is eager to unlock the immense potential of NFV quickly with open source software development. Our newest members add strength to the community with their knowledge on networking software solutions, IP-based solutions and network intelligence technologies, which are valuable to build the first ever open source reference platform for NFV.
Dialogic is active in developing NFV technologies with a strong focus on software-based infrastructure projects. We are eager to collaborate with the industry and share our expertise to speed the implementation of open source NFV platform.
Given Qosmos’ focus on developing products that provide real-time network intelligence in SDN and NFV environments, it is natural for us to invest in the development of open source NFV platforms. We are eager to share our expertise in network intelligence technology with the OPNFV community.
