  • Baidu joins OpenDaylight Project

    Baidu joins OpenDaylight Project

    The OpenDaylight Project, the open source platform for programmable, software-defined networks (SDN), said Chinese search engine Baidu has joined the project at the Silver level.

    This follows a recent announcement by Baidu to open source one of its key machine learning tools, PaddlePaddle, and demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to open source.

    Growing mobile markets in China over the past several years have connected more people to the internet and opened up tremendous opportunities and venues for new business platforms and channel strategies in the region.

    Baidu is advancing artificial intelligence as the next stage of the internet and is using deep learning to enable new technologies for autonomous driving and e-health services.

    The OpenDaylight platform will enable Baidu to optimize and automate their network.

    Liu Ning, system department deputy director at Baidu said SDN platform will enable the company to be a more nimble organization and rapidly deliver new services that meet the changing needs and diverse interests of our users and customers.

    Liu also joins the OpenDaylight advisory group to provide technical and strategic guidance to the OpenDaylight technical steering committee and OpenDaylight developer community based on the challenges of running a real-world network.

    In addition to Baidu, Chinese two major internet players – Alibaba and Tecent- have also joined the OpenDaylight project.

  • China Mobile joins OpenDaylight Project

    The OpenDaylight Project, an open source platform for programmable, software-defined networks, has announced that China Mobile has joined the project at the Silver Level.

    China Mobile joins Tencent and Alibaba, also members of OpenDaylight, as part of a growing number of Chinese internet players and telecoms operators that actively participate in open networking projects and leverage open source SDN to support their extreme scalability demands.

    The operator wants to standardize and also customize their environments to improve automation. OpenDaylight provides a means for China Mobile to build on well-tested, foundational capabilities, which would otherwise take far too long for them to develop entirely in-house, said Wang Jinzhu, project manager of China Mobile Research Institute.

    Recently, China Mobile released its commercial OpenDaylight-based data center SDN controller named “AERO,” currently in trial.

    Additionally, China Mobile has also initiated the “SPTN” project within OpenDaylight, which evolves the packet transport network (PTN) toward SDN.

    As early adopters of OpenDaylight, China Mobile is leveraging the platform with OpenStack to deploy enterprise service offerings under its NovoDC program, which offers both a telecom infrastructure as well as virtual public or private cloud services.

    NovoDC has helped China Mobile to gain significant data center opex savings and can now deliver new services in minutes rather than weeks.

    The OpenDaylight Project meanwhile also announced the launch of its “Powered by ODL” program, which signals high technical standards and quality expectations for commercial products or services based on the platform.

    With increasing numbers of solution providers incorporating OpenDaylight code into downstream commercial offerings, the program is created to help end users identify quality OpenDaylight-based solutions while supporting vendors with their go-to-market strategies.

    Any individual or organization offering an OpenDaylight-based product or service may apply for the trademark. Products that are “Powered by OpenDaylight” must include specific core components from a recent release of the OpenDaylight code base, as approved by the OpenDaylight’s board of directors.
