Project Introduction October 3, 2013 Why Software-Defined Networking (SDN) matters What is OpenDaylight and what does OpenDaylight do? The open source difference How to get involved Overview * * Software-Defined Network (SDN) Platform APIs Open protocols with enablement for proprietary extensions Networks are Evolving Physical Network Physical Network Enterprise apps Security, load balancing, etc. services 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 Software Defined Networking (SDN) resets business opportunities Focus Area for OpenDaylight SDN is not a product or an endpoint. Its an architectural approach. By 2016, SDN will account for a remarkable 35% share of the Ethernet switching market in the datacenter, up from almost negligible penetration in 2012. Source: IDC, December 2012 Why SDN? * 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. What is the OpenDaylight Project? * 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. OpenDaylight Project Goals * Broad Industry Supp
