  1. Interoperability is Key to Accelerating SDN Adoption Neela Jacques Executive Director OpenDaylight Projectt

  2. Networks are Evolving Software Defined Networking (SDN) resets business opportunities Applications and services that ride on, optimize, exploit, and manage the network Software Defined Networking is a software layer that makes the network more programmable, agile, and efficient A network that provides the physical connectivity Security, load balancing, etc. services Enterprise apps APIs Software-Defined Network (SDN) Platform Open protocols with enablement for proprietary extensions Focus Area for OpenDaylight Physical Network Physical Network

  3. Major Questions are Being Debated in our Industry… VS. Centralize control Distributed control

  4. As a Result we Have Far Too Many Incompatible Technologies

  5. What is the OpenDaylight Project? The OpenDaylight Project is a collaborative open source project that aims to accelerate adoption of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and create a solid foundation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for a more transparent approach that fosters new innovation and reduces risk. Founded by industry leaders and open to all, the OpenDaylight community is developing a common, open SDN framework consisting of code and blueprints.

  6. OpenDaylight Project Goals • Code: To create a robust, extensible, open source code base that covers the major common components required to build an SDN solution and create a solid foundation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) • Acceptance: To get broad industry acceptance amongst vendors and users • Community: To have a thriving and growing technical community contributing to the code base, using the code in commercial products, and adding value above, below and around.

  7. Broad Industry Support for OpenDaylight

  8. Industry Value • A broad SDN code base that anyone can use, plug into or contribute new enhancements • A common environment for users and application developers • Accelerated innovation by avoiding duplication of basic infrastructure • Faster and higher quality development through sharing of resources 8

  16. Why Should Users Care – Long Term • Increased interoperability across network elements • Greater Innovation & choice • Ability to go single solution or best of breed • Reduced vendor lock-in

  17. ODL Can Help in Your SDN Evaluation Process.
