How Orange is boosting  its transformation contributing  to opensource communities
  •  For Orange, the best way to boost its Cloud transformation is to be an active contributor in the leading Cloud Open Source communities
    • Orange contributes actively to Openstack, especially to the networking project Neutron
    • Orange participates to OpenDaylight, provides use cases and contributes to define interfaces
  • Telco Cloud transformation is a challenge which could only be fully overcome by  leveraging the community power 
    • As a global telco operator, Orange shares the need to have a carrier grade Open Source Cloud infrastructure which supports not only the IT operations but also the network and service platforms
    • An Open Source NFV orchestration platform will be a key to ensure the interoperability of multi-vendors VNF solutions
  • To do so, Orange would like to participate actively to the initiatives which will accelerate the adoption of NFV: 
    • Openstack NFV working group
    • OPNFV project
