#OpenDaylight Summit Opens With Global Telco Increasing Its Investment in the Project SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - September 27, 2016) - OpenDaylight Summit --The OpenDaylight Project, the leading open source platform for programmable, #SoftwareDefinedNetworking, today announced that #ChinaMobile Communications Corporation (CMCC), a leading mobile communications service provider, 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 and communications companies that actively participate in open networking projects and leverage open source SDN to support their extreme scalability demands. As Jinzhu Wang, project manager of China Mobile Research Institute explained, the company wants to standardize and also customize their environments to improve automation. OpenDaylight provides a means for them to build on well-tested, foundational capabilities, which would otherwise take far too long for them to develop entirely in-house. Recently, China Mobile released its commercial OpenDaylight-based datacenter SDN controller named "AERO," currently in trial. China Mobile believes it to be the first datacenter #SDN controller developed by a telecom operator based in China. Additionally, CMCC 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 datacenter OPEX savings and can now deliver new services in minutes rather than weeks. Alex Zhang, principal architect at China Mobile Technology US, continues to be an active member of the OpenDaylight Advisory Group.
