Is NFV reaching its prime time? Part 3: 2nd ETSI NFV Plugtests from the MANO perspective

In the first post of this series, I shared a short introduction to the NFV concept and its importance, as well as a summary about ETSI's 2nd NFV Plugtests. In the second post I shared the overall results of the tests and some details from the VIM perspective.

In this third and final post, I will share a summary of the results related to the Management and Orchestration (MANO) solutions, which as you may already know, are the software pieces (VNF Manager and NFV Orchestrator) that define how virtualized network services are built from the resources provided by the infrastructure through the VIM (VMs, containers, networks, etc), their lifecycle, and of course, their behavior.

Adrian Hoban gives us an exclusive interview on the goals of TSC, what Release 0 will bring to the community and much more.

1) What are the overall goals for the OSM Technical Steering Committee (TSC)?

The role of the TSC is to coordinate the project’s technical activities. Its functions include setting and evolving the Data Model to meet End-User Advisory Group (EUAG) priorities, collecting feature requests from the EUAG and prioritizing them per release, ensuring the implementation of the feature roadmap and the Data Model, deciding what is distributed as outcome of the project, and fostering, supporting and growing the project’s community.

OSM demo @TMForum Live! Nice

ETSI OSM members and participants Telefónica, Indra and Comptel, plus Etiya, showed the Proof of Concept called “NFV Service Orchestration and Lifecycle Management based on Open Source MANO” in the TMForum event Live! 2016 that took place in Nice the 9th-12th of May.

The demonstration showcased the use of the northbound interfaces exposed by OSM for Network Scenario onboarding, instantiation and management by Comptel’s FlowOne, which was acting as a E2E Orchestrator, managing both virtual and physical infrastructure. The scenario was an enrichment of what was shown on the MWC’16, this time including integration with real-world OSS/BSS and covering a hybrid environment.
