Apache CloudStack for NFV (ACeN) is a\u00a0project that is funded by the Commission for Technology and Innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ACeN projects seeks to deliver services and prototypes based on the ETSI Network Function Virtualisation<\/a> (NFV) standard and Apache CloudStack<\/a>. A novel hybrid load-balancing service (HLBS) will be created and and key NFV demonstrators will be prototyped. All will follow a common architectural approach, on common technology with contributions to open-source communities (under ASL 2.0<\/a>) by Swiss implementation partners. This work will leverage and can enable access to a market worth up\u00a0to $2.4 Billion by 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The HLBS will deliver, in a cloud native fashion, the combined two key functionalities of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)<\/li>\n
  2. Elastic IPs (EIP)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Proof of CloudStack\u00a0capabilities will be demonstrated through two NFV prototypes that are of importance to partners, namely:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. NFV use case (UC) one through the implementation of an on-demand tenant-based inter-data centre connectivity VPN using CloudStack<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. NFV UC five with an on-demand IMS<\/a> service using CloudStack<\/a>. IMS<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
