Abstract

The multi-vendor NFV Showcase is an effort to bring together a number of reputed vendors and organizations, to demonstrate that building production-ready multi-vendor network services is possible, on top of open technologies.

Being submitted as an OSM POC, it highlights OSM’s role on facilitating such vision of achieving automated, horizontal NFV deployments.

This first edition’s objective was to implement a completely automated, secured, virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) with value-added services, by integrating VNFs from different vendors.

PoC Key Takeaways

  • It is possible to deploy real services under a standardized NVF architecture. In this first edition, we launched a fully-functional multi-vendor virtualized EPC within minutes, on top of open source VIM (Openstack), Commercial-of-the-Shelf Servers, and orchestrated by Open Source MANO.
  • ETSI Standardization efforts are going in the right direction, helping operators move away from single-vendor, vertical NFV deployments which are not leveraging the real advantages of NFV.
  • Most of the challenges slowing down NFV deployments are not related to technology but to the use of good practices.
