The Linux Foundation Announces Big Data Platform for Network Analytics - Seite 2

Comments from Supporting Organizations
Cisco
"There have been significant efforts across the industry in NFV, automation, orchestration and control which have made real-time network service provisioning possible. Open source software implementations supporting this space are also maturing as shown by OpenStack and OpenDaylight. In comparison, industry efforts to enable the monitoring and analysis of the data produced by these services have been lagging behind. If we're really going to move the industry forward and enable new services and new business models, where agility is a reality rather than a marketing buzzword, then OSS, BSS & IoT solutions all need to become more agile too. We believe that the solution is to leverage the rapid innovation in big data analytics; that's the reason for being for PNDA -- an open source big data platform that can foster an ecosystem of innovative analytics applications while also supporting the next generation of reactive network services."

David Ward, SVP, Chief Architect & CTO, Cisco

Deepfield
"At Deepfield, we have experienced a rapid adoption of our big data analytics platform to replace siloed solutions such as traffic engineering, service assurance, network forensics, and DDOS. Our customers have recognized that big data analytics is not just for replacing legacy solutions, but also it is required to enable next generation OSS/BSS, orchestration, control, automation and NFV deployments. Recognizing the importance of this technology, Cisco has made a valuable open source contribution, namely PNDA, to help build the ecosystem and accelerate the development of new big data applications."
Jeff Bazar, Chief Strategy Officer, Deepfield

FRINX
"PNDA combines big data architecture, tools and techniques to deliver network information at virtually unlimited scale to operators and customers alike. FRINX believes PNDA is the logical next step that allows network operators to close the loop between acquiring data from the network, running analytics to mine high value information and finally feeding policy back into the network to optimize for customer experience and cost."
Tomas Olvecky, Technical Leader, FRINX

Intersec
"We believe PNDA will boost the ecosystem for network analytics, creating the conditions for open platforms on which external applications will be higher performance and easier to deploy. Thanks to its efficient API, PNDA opens the way for analytics applications based on location data, within an NFV architecture. Intersec's extensive experience in big data analytics induces us to promote this type of initiative, and we're glad to join this project and provide full compatibility with the framework."
