Open Transformation Three sentences: HPE's OpenNFV program aims to accelerate NFV transformations through an open partner ecosystem focused on bridging gaps between open source projects, ecosystems, and deployable solutions. The program provides a proven and innovative environment for NFV by integrating technology partners' components, validating application partners' VNFs, and leveraging services partners' industry strengths. HPE is also contributing learnings from its OpenNFV labs back to the OPNFV project to help bridge gaps between open source and ecosystems.
