OpenNebula can run Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and enable Container Network Functions (CNFs) as a single Front-end cloud, managing any number from tens to hundreds of geo-distributed clusters on minimal hardware infrastructure, using local storage and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) or Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) technologies to achieve high-performance throughput. Additionally, OpenNebula’s implementation of Enhanced Platform Awareness (EPA) helps to improve VM packet forwarding performance (throughput, latency, jitter) by exposing low-level CPU and NIC acceleration components to the VNF. OpenNebula also provides the GPU support, bare-metal automation and multi-cluster features needed to address distributed telco-cloud use cases.
OpenNebula is enhancing its Artificial Intelligence techniques and Zero-Touch resource management methods for the efficient deployment and operation of distributed cloud-edge-continuums. OpenNebula is helping its users to combine centralized clouds with edge resources and to choose the right combination of geographically distributed cloud-edge locations to efficiently execute their workloads, meet their enterprise needs, and avoid vendor lock-in.
This white paper presents a detailed test plan validated with multiple users, including Tier-1 telco carriers. It provides a release report highlighting the particular features and functionalities that position OpenNebula as the answer for highly distributed NFV deployments, (re-)virtualization of distributed cloud-edge infrastructure, and overall progress towards a cloud technology-agnostic mobile network with next generation features for automated and AI-driven deployment and operations.
