OpenDaylight is an Open Source Software project under the Linux Foundation with the goal of furthering the adoption and innovation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) through the creation of a common industry supported framework. www.opendaylight.org 3 What is the scope? Scope Of Open Daylight Software Defined Network (SDN) platform API’s Open protocols with enablement for proprietary extensions Physical Network Physical Network Software Defined Networking -- a software layer that makes the network more programmable, agile, and efficient Physical and virtual data forwarding entities Applications Security, load balancing, etc. services Applications and services that ride on, optimize, exploit, and manage the network Tooling www.opendaylight.org 4 Who are the members? Platinum Gold Silver Members as of April 16, 2013 and growing www.opendaylight.org 5 www.opendaylight.org 6  Enable faster innovation by vendors as they will start from a higher footing (collaborative development)  Real interoperability across vendors (App-platform-switch)  No vendor lock-in for customers  Speeds up acceptance of API’s which can only emerge when there is a broadly accepted software platform  Customers can participate and gain access new technologies more quickly  Speeds up adoption of SDN 6 What is the value to the industry ? www.opendaylight.org 7 What are the OpenDaylight Goals?  Code: To create a robust, extensible, scalable, commercial/carrier grade open source code base that covers the major common components required to build an SDN solution  Acceptance: To get broad industry acceptance amongst vendors and users  Enterprises, service providers, carriers, using OpenDaylight code directly or through vendor products  Vendors using OpenDaylight code as part of commercial products with differentiation above, below, around  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. Come back In two years and grade us! www.opendaylight.org 8  Membership open to all  No charge for individual developers  Meritocracy  Business leadership: Board of Directors  Governance, marketing, operations  Technical leadership: Technical Steering Committee (TSC)  Technical direction, project selection, technical decisions  Open meetings, mailing lists, proceedings How will OpenDaylight work? 8 www.opendaylight.org 9 What is the OpenDaylight architecture? 9 www.opendaylight.org 10  Lots of code has been contributed or proposed as contribution by leading companies and developers  A veritable treasure trove of riches  TSC has to put this together in a coherent fashion  3Q13 is the first OpenDaylight release  Developers can contribute code at the individual level  Eclipse Public License (EPL) Where is the code? 10 www.opendaylight.org  Why no members who are carriers, service providers or enterprises?  Why is OpenDaylight dominated by vendors?  How will OpenDaylight get user requirements?  Relationship to the ONF? Other bodies?  How is this different than the other existing OSS efforts?  How will vendors make money if “everything is open source”? And more questions… 11 www.opendaylight.org 12 Some key dates 12 Date Event 08 April 2013 Pubic announcement & first code contributed 15-17 April 2013 Plenary and Technical Sessions at Open Networking Summit 5-9 May 2013 Interop Las Vegas Q2 CY13 Technical architecture released Q3 CY13 Initial code release www.opendaylight.org 13  More information and to join:  www.opendaylight.org  info@opendaylight.org  lists.opendaylight.org  Keep informed  @openDaylightSDN Resources 13 www.opendaylight.org Join us! 14
