• Definition– OpenCS is a MEF-facilitated ecosystem that provides reference

implementations of MEF-defined connectivity services (e.g. E-Line) using combinations of Open Source software, Open Spec hardware, SDN, NFV and CE 2.0-certified devices.

• Objective– Simplify and accelerate adoption of MEF specs to develop Third Network

services based on any combination of SDN controllers, NFV infrastructure, VNFs, white boxes and traditional PNFs

OpenCS – Data Center Use Case

• The OpenCS Data Center project is creating for service providers reference Data Center implementations based on E-CORD that can be service orchestrated by LSO (MEF-defined Lifecycle Service Orchestration) and integrated into multi-operator agile, assured and orchestrated end to end L2 and L3 services.

OpenCS – Optical Transport Use Case

• This project was created to develop and demonstrate a Reference Architecture, Design & Implementation for orchestration of MEF Connectivity Services and SDN controlled dynamic, on-demand Optical Transport connectivity

OpenCS - 5G Use Case• The OpenCS 5G project was started at the MEF 3Q2016 Members Meeting in Boston

under the leadership of Ericsson and Fujitsu.

• It is aimed at enabling the LSO orchestration of connectivity services implemented in 5G networks that will be included in multi-domain Third Network services.

Industry Analysts Value MEF’s Vision & Work

Michael Howard, Senior Research Director, Carrier Networks

Scott Raynovich, VP of Content & Research

“…LSO progress will be critical to deploydynamic services with automation…”

“…MEF has been breaking new groundin helping operators integrate OSS/BSSfunctions with the new SDN and NFVworld…”

What Other Analysts are Saying About MEF

“A combination of overlay/underlay and an interconnected-metro model of the network of the future would be in myview incredibly insightful, and if it could be promotedeffectively, it could be a revolution. The MEF is the onlybody that seems to be articulating this model, and thatmakes them a player in next-gen infrastructure in itself.”

LSO Market Acceptance

Opening keynote presentation from China Telecom CEO Advisor Wei Leping at China SDN/NFV Conference 2016

… And From Heidi Adams, IHS Infonetics

“The whole LSO area has really struck a chord

in China.”
