The OpenDaylight Project is a collaborative open source project hosted by The Linux Foundation. The goal of the project is to accelerate the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) and create a solid foundation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The software is written in Java. == History == On February 8, 2013, the Software Defined Networking site "SDN Central" broke news of an industry coalition forming around SDN. The goal of the coalition was not known at the time, with most information consisting of rumors and insider discussions.〔Palmer,Matthew "Exclusive: Shining the Spotlight on OpenDaylight-What you MUST know about the new open-source SDN Controller" (2013) ()〕 On April 8, 2013, The Linux Foundation announced the founding of the OpenDaylight Project as a community-led and industry-supported open source framework to accelerate adoption, foster new innovation and create a more open and transparent approach to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The project’s founding members—Arista Networks, Big Switch Networks, Brocade, Cisco, Citrix, Ericsson, HP, IBM, Juniper Networks, Microsoft, NEC, Nuage Networks, PLUMgrid, Red Hat and VMware—committed to donating software and engineering resources for OpenDaylight’s open source framework to help define the future of an open source SDN platform. Reaction to the OpenDaylight Project has been mixed. Reaction to the goals of open architecture and administration by the Linux Foundation have been mostly positive.〔Hinkle, Mark "The Linux Foundation’s Collaboration – OpenDaylight Project – Open Source SDN" (4/08/2013) ()〕〔McNickle, Michelle "SDN blog roundup: Open Daylight, Cisco's networking truths, OpenStack" (2013) ()〕 While initial criticism centered on concerns that this group could be used by incumbent technology vendors to stifle innovation, most of the companies signed up as members do not actually sell incumbent networking technology.〔Duffy, Jim "Skepticism follows Cisco-IBM led OpenDaylight SDN consortium" (4/10/2013) ()〕 Of the Platinum members, Ericsson, Intel, IBM, Microsoft, VMware, Red Hat, and Citrix would not be considered "incumbent" technology providers in the networking segment. Only Brocade, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard would typically fall into that category.〔McGillicuddy, Shamus "Keeping OpenDaylight truly open: Q&A with Brocade's Dave Meyer" (5/3/2013) ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OpenDaylight Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
