OpenStack Summit May 2014 Atlanta

Intel and Wind River, along with the OpenStack community, are part of several efforts to help transform networks with distinct but mutually beneficial technologies of Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). This session will provide a brief introduction to how NFV & SDN apply to OpenStack and in that context present Intel’s activities in OpenStack including (a) the Advanced Network Services Framework that is shaping up to be a ubiquitous structure to describe and request network services, (b) Enhanced Platform Awareness that allows for the discovery and scheduling of workloads adjacent to critical technologies, and (c) High Performing networking with the DPDK vSwitch and with the Wind River Carrier Grade Communications Server.
