We Need To Work Together

OPNFV is a carrier-grade,
integrated, open source
platform to accelerate the
introduction of new NFV
products and services.

OPNFV Project Goals

Develop an integrated and tested open source platform that can be used
to build NFV functionality, accelerating the introduction of new products
and services
Include participation of leading end users to validate OPNFV meets the
needs of user community
Contribute to and participate in relevant open source projects that will be
leveraged in the OPNFV platform; ensure consistency, performance and
interoperability among open source components
Establish an ecosystem for NFV solutions based on open standards and
software to meet the needs of end users
Promote OPNFV as the preferred platform and community for open
source NFV

OPNFV Arno (June 4, 2015)

Baseline foundation to enable continuous integration,

automated deployment deployment and testing of components
necessary to build an NFV platform from upstream
components such as OpenDaylight, OpenStack, Open
vSwitch, Ceph & KVM.

Arno is aimed at anyone who is exploring NFV deployments,

developing VNF applications, or interested in NFV performance
and use case-based testing.

Provides an initial build of the NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) and

Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) components of ETSI NFV
architecture.

Arno SR1: Designed to address known issues in the initial

release for incremental stability and improved predictability.

Requires technical contributions to OPNFV such as:
Testing/developer resources
Hosting hackfests/plugfests
Training

Others

Notes

* FTE = Full Time Engineer (e.g. 2 employees each spend 50% of

their time on a project). This provision is meant to provide a
minimum resource investment to ensure members are
contributing technically. Most projects see much higher
investment of resources than the minimum requirement.
