Cloud Control to Major Telco
summary
Telco operators report using OpenStack as an infrastructure layer for Cloud Foundry, public offerings (CloudWatt), and early NFV trials that already carry some voice traffic, aiming for wider mobile call routing by 2016. Deployments use Piston, PlumGrid and Open vSwitch/GRE, and demand carrier‑grade features: deterministic packet rates, multi‑site lifecycle and rolling upgrades, CI/Tempest testing, VNF packaging for scale‑out OpenStack + NFV in a trillion‑dollar market. Hardware lifecycles often exceed ten years.
