NFV & SDN Summit 2015: Standards or Open Source?

Standards versus open source: which is better for quickly getting products to market? What is the role of openstack and opendaylight in network orchestration/control/management? The fourth edition of the NFV & SDN Summit, to be held in Paris in March 2015, will respond to these crucial questions (among others).

As it was the case this year, the Summit will be jointly organized with the 17th Edition of MPLS SDN World. The growing interest in this new technology should attract about 1500 attendees for the 2015 edition of MPLS SDN World Congress and the NFV & SDN Summit.

The agenda: open source initiatives, PoCs reports, use cases, orchestration

The 2015 program will pay particular attention to open source initiatives, orchestration issues and NFV use cases. Other sessions will cover mobility, SDN/NFV transition and migration and security. The panel « What have we learned from NFV PoCs ? » will gather the most important European carriers.

The proposals have been analyzed and categorized according to their degree of pertinence by the members of the scientific committee. Upperside would again like to thank the members of the committee.



Co-located with the MPLS SDN World Congress

The NFV & SDN Summit and the collocated MPLS SDN World Congress will have a common agenda during the first day of the event, and will end with the following panel discussion:

Open source & standards: how they can fit together

Key players from carriers, open source organisms and equipment vendors will discuss open source as a force for creating de facto standards versus traditional standardization mechanisms.

The Interop Platform

The European Advanced Networking Test Center together with Upperside Conferences invited interested vendors to our public multi-vendor interoperability test and showcase.

Cloud delivery and MPLS Core Simplification will be the major focus of the showcase: The objective of the test is to verify protocol interoperability in a service provider oriented environment. The published results could be considered your advanced blue-print scenarios proposed to your customers.

EANTC will present results in regular guided tours to conference attendees. The showcase will be open for the full four days of the conferences (Tuesday to Friday).
