BERLIN, OPNFV Summit,
June 22, 2016 – The , a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform intended to accelerate the introduction of new products and services using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), today announced onstage at OPNFV Summit the results of a global survey commissioned by
to understand network operators’ perceptions of OPNFV and how the project can help accelerate NFV transformation. The data indicated an overwhelming majority (99 percent) of those surveyed agree that at just 21 months in, OPNFV is poised to deliver on its promise to accelerate NFV.
The survey was
designed to gauge market perceptions of the OPNFV project, including expected outcomes, its role in shaping open source NFV, industry intent to leverage OPNFV output, and overall impact. The survey follow-up a
also conducted by Heavy Reading in September 2015.
Specifically targeted towards telecommunications network operators, the data reveals an updated look at the drivers, barriers, timelines and critical upstream integration needed for OPNFV to succeed in advancing open source NFV adoption.
Key findings include:
OPNFV is critical to the telecom industry. While 99 percent of those surveyed believe OPNFV will deliver on its promise, 93 percent also believe OPNFV is either essential or important to the telecom industry as a whole. And 97 percent of those surveyed plan to leverage the output of OPNFV in some way.
Upstream integration is more important than ever. 99 percent agree OPNFV is relevant to upstream open source projects. Respondents overwhelmingly (85 percent) ranked OpenStack as the most important upstream project to OPNFV’s success, followed by OpenvSwitch (49 percent), KVM (42 percent) and OpenDaylight (37 percent).
NFV is making headway. While NFV deployments are still young, operators are further along in the journey than they were eight months ago. Data shows that only six percent of operators have no NFV strategy planned at all, compared to 14 percent in September 2015.
Barriers remain. Some of the biggest barriers for organizations to get involved with OPNFV include “lack of skill set” and “lack of upper management support.” While these factors are keeping some organizations on the sidelines, many (47 percent) recognize NFV is a priority for their company and the majority of those (53 percent) indicated they know how to get involved with OPNFV when their organization is ready to begin NFV planning and execution.
Security. Security was cited as the top technology that OPNFV should investigate. Recognizing its growing importance in the community, last year OPNFV formed a security working group dedicated to improving security through architecture, documentation, code review, upstream inter-work with other groups, and vulnerability management and security research. Their work provides an umbrella group focused on developing security-centric functions within the ecosystem, including a proposal to deliver a security management system for OPNFV.
Management and Orchestration (MANO), and the related value OPNFV can provide, is increasingly important. Ranked as one of the top three technologies OPNFV should investigate (along with security and OSS/BSS integration), operators believe OPNFV can aid in addressing MANO by proposing industry-wide APIs in supp demonstrating integration of MANO projects into the OPNFV
and providing upstream feedback to MANO projects components (including Virtual Infrastructure Managers, Virtual Network Function Managers, and Software Defined Networking controllers).
“It’s inspiring to see that the industry believes in the importance of what we’re doing with OPNFV,” said Heather Kirksey, director, OPNFV. “Our strong community continues to grow and thrive and while we’re still
a young organization, the results of the survey indicate we’re still on the right path. It’s important we get a regular pulse on what the industry needs so we can refine our approach, and focus our efforts on how best to accelerate open source NFV.”
The survey results, which include input from more than 90 network operator professionals focused on engineering, research and development, network planning and corporate management, primarily based in North America, Europe and Asia, were shared on stage during the second annual , which brings together developers, end users, and upstream communities working to advance the creation of an open source framework for NFV.

ELASTIC Analytics provide network operators advanced, predictive maintenance and traffic re-engineering services to meet SLAs and reduce OPEX/CAPEX
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — , a global provider of ELASTIC Network(R) solutions for service providers, critical infrastructures and data center operators, announced today the introduction of ELASTIC Analytics(TM) services. These new services employ advanced algorithms, machine learning and big data analytics to arm network operations and planning departments with the insights to properly maintain, design and re-engineer their networks. This true, multi-vendor service yields a comprehensive, end-to-end view for improved multi-layer optimization, reduced costs and ensured service availability, all imperative for today’s networks as well as the advanced networks of tomorrow.
“At ECI, we are dedicated to helping our customers be flexible and well-briefed, so they can quickly adapt to change and make educated decisions in real-time. ECI’s ELASTIC Analytics are specifically tailored to enable network operators to make proactive, knowledge-driven choices that will help them to stay ahead of the curve, meet their SLAs, afford a competitive edge and reduce costs,” said Assaf Tiran, VP, Head of Global Implementation & Maintenance Services at ECI.
Currently two ELASTIC Analytics services are being offered: 1) Multi-Layer Traffic Engineering and Optimization and 2) Preventive Maintenance.
Multi-Layer Traffic Engineering and Optimization uses multiple sources of data, big data analytics and machine learning in a GIS based method to deliver insights that enable network architects to more intelligently build their networks, reclaim their resources and ensure new services are smoothly introduced. It provides better visibility of single points of failure (SPOF) as well as bottlenecks and can predict the impact of pending failures. This helps network engineers to provision services, offset traffic congestion and optimize network efficiency.
Predictive Maintenance conducts daily audits of every element in the network, ECI or third party, starting at the embedded level. It provides network operators with insight on how their systems are running and recommends corrective actions to achieve optimal results. The early warnings provided by this real-time intelligence can be used to pre-empt pending faults and failures, so service availability is ensured. Meeting and exceeding SLAs is guaranteed by identifying and eliminating potential network threats. This improves the overall customer experience and substantially strengthens customer loyalty.
Mr. Tiran continued, “Network operations usually require the manual accumulation and analysis of a considerable amount of data from various sources. The sheer amount of data which is required to properly maintain and design networks makes this a long and arduous task, especially as networks become more complex. Elastic Analytics’ advanced algorithms enable organizations to unify their network provisioning processes and help them bridge the gap between goals and actual performance, thereby unlocking their business potential. IoT, 5G and M2M demands will all benefit from these services.”
