In May, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced the acquisition of ContreXtream, a provider of OpenDaylight-based, carrier-grade SDN fabric for NFV, and an HP OpenNFV partner. With the acquisition, HP increased its involvement in ContreXtream’s contributions to the open-source community.
ContreXtream’s Gal Mainzer, now engineering director for HP, said the company is turning its attention to telco-grade carrier solution.
“We need products that are more robust and resilient to handle the distribution required by Telco products,” Mainzer explained to theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s Media production team, during Open Daylight Summit 2015. “Telco has multisite requirements.
Companies such as Comcast or AT&T that cover a wide area need to have a solution that can handle their distribution, resiliency and upscale requirements.”
Driving standards and pushing SDN forward
Mainzer admitted that such large-scale projects require talented architects and engineers. He also said that the open-source community has played an integral role.
“We want to work with OpenDaylight to leverage the open-source community and to contribute back,” he said. “We’re working with these communities to drive standards and push SDN forward to what we see as required by telco grade.”
