Intel Cloud Day 2016
On March 31, Intel delivered its first Cloud Day. Gathering hundreds of attendees, the event delivered a strong agenda complete with the launch of Intel's new Xeon processor E5 v4 family, a series of industry collaboration announcements, and powerful customer testimonials.
Intel's commitment to drive solution innovation through tight collaboration with ecosystem partners across all segments of the data center remains clear, and it was highlighted at the event with the launches of two new programs: Intel® Cloud Builders and Intel® Storage Builders.
Joining Intel® Network Builders under the broader umbrella of the Intel® Builders, both cloud and storage ecosystem programs will aim to deliver the same level of partner engagement, solution optimizations and testing, and co-marketing opportunities that Intel® Network Builders has delivered for the past few years.
Cloud Day 2016 also marked an opportunity for the Intel® Network Builders ecosystem to meet for an afternoon of technical sessions covering key topics such as Open Security Controller, Intel® Open Network Platform (Intel ONP) for enterprise, and Intel ingredients related to NFV/SDN for enterprise cloud. Technical presentations and pictures of the event are now available on the member portal.

Intel® Network Builders University Offers New Open vSwitch* Program
The Intel® Network Builders University launched February 24, 2016, with 17 available classes covering industry hot topics related to network functions virtualization (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN). The library of content continues to grow as our experts tackle new topics relevant to communications service providers and Intel Network Builders partners alike. You can access the training by visiting the Intel Network Builders University page and creating a free login. If you are already a member, just sign in using your Intel Network Builders account credentials.
This month we are releasing a new training program in which our experts discuss the use of virtual switching as an alternative to traditional hardware options. In these three courses, we explore Open vSwitch (OVS), a multilayer virtual switch option licensed under Apache 2.0, and its integration with Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). The three courses in the program include:
Our team is busy working on the next content release, so check the University page spotlight for new classes and material.

Technical Spotlight
NASDAQ* Transforms Its Network with NFV | Download PDF
Along with many enterprises that are transforming network infrastructures, Nasdaq* faces a number of challenges in moving the organization's IT operations to the cloud. However, through Nasdaq's affiliation with Intel® Network Builders, the company is successfully meeting these new architectural challenges and implementing a new set of operational behaviors suitable to a large-scale financial institution. The result of the engagement described in this white paper successfully brought NFV solutions into use on an infrastructure built on Intel architecture-based hardware, replacing traditional network hardware components with virtual appliances.
End-to-End Service Instantiation Using Open-Source Management and Orchestration Components | Download PDF
The Open Source MANO (OSM) project demonstration described in this paper showcases the feasibility of a significant and complex operator use-case deployment. Starting with selected seed code contributions and using commercial virtualized network functions (VNFs), it proves the key guiding architectural tenets of OSM. The power of the information-model-driven architecture enabled five diverse contributors to deliver complete functionality for the following features: End-to-End automation, Enhanced Platform Awareness (EPA) extensions, SDN underlay control, and multi-site and multi-VIM (OpenStack* and OpenVIM) capability, while supporting a combination of multi-tenant and single-tenant VNFs and connections to external physical lines.
Perspective on VNF Onboarding on Intel® Architecture in an NFVI Environment
The Intel interoperability program has been launched to make strides in simplifying and accelerating adoption of network functions virtualization Infrastructures (NFVIs) and virtualized network functions (VNFs). In this white paper, we report several of the steps that Intel took in evaluating two NFVIs and several VNF products. Intel's findings show that the industry should work together to find a unified approach for provisioning virtualized services.
