Telefónica has released its OpenMANO NFV orchestration stack to the open source community of developers through GitHub. OpenMANO is an open source project that provides architecturul framework for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Management and Orchestration which is currently under ETSI’s NFV ISG standardization.
According to Telefonica, the stack has become a key component in Telefónica’s NFV Reference Lab, being a ground-breaking module for easy creation and deployment of complex network scenarios, successfully validated with the more than 30 VNFs involved in the lab during the past year. With OpenMANO, Telefónica drives this adoption through the release of open source code, thus encouraging industry and software developers to explore new NFV possibilities and all this from a well-designed and tiered architecture proposal, thoroughly validated in realistic conditions.
OpenMANO NFV-O (Network Functions Virtualisation Orchestrator) - which allows the creation of complex virtual network scenarios is supported by Openvim, a reference implementation of an NFV VIM (Virtualised Infrastructure Manager) with support for OpenStack and Openmano-gui, a web GUI interface to interact with OpenMANO API in a graphical and user-friendly manner.
