As a Result we Have Far Too Many Incompatible Technologies
Slide 5
The OpenDaylight Project is a collaborative open source project
that aims to accelerate adoption of Software- Defined Networking
(SDN) and create a solid foundation for Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) for a more transparent approach that fosters
new innovation and reduces risk. Founded by industry leaders and
open to all, the OpenDaylight community is developing a common,
open SDN framework consisting of code and blueprints. What is the
OpenDaylight Project? 5
Slide 6
Code: To create a robust, extensible, open source code base
that covers the major common components required to build an SDN
solution and create a solid foundation for Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) Acceptance: To get broad industry acceptance
amongst vendors and users 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.

Why Should Users Care Long Term -Increased interoperability
across network elements -Greater Innovation & choice -Ability
to go single solution or best of breed -Reduced vendor lock-in
