Mirantis and Partners to Leverage OpenStack with NFV
by Sam Dean on Sep. 17, 2015

For the past couple of years, there has been action from telecom players and the open source community surrounding Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology. Telecom companies have traditionally had a lot of proprietary tools in the middle and at the basis of their technology stacks. NFV is an effort to combat that, and to help the parallel trends of virtualization and cloud computing stay as open as possible.Last year, The Linux Foundation announced the Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV) Project, a group comprised primarily of telecom operators working across open source projects and vendors to implement NFV within their organizations. Now OpenStack-focused Mirantis has launched a program to help telecoms deploy services based on software rather than expensive network hardware, using a combination of OpenStack and NFV-smart virtual appliances.

Facebook, along with several other Silicon Valley titans, has shown itself to be a strong contributor to the open source community. Only a few months ago, the company open sourced Haxl, a library that eases access to remote data. Then, wiith an eye toward optimizing the performance of open source distributed SQL query engine Presto, Facebook designed a new Optimized Row Columnar (OCR) file format reader for Presto, and open sourced as noted in this blog post.These aren't the only useful tools found in-house at Facebook for dealing with large data sets. In its latest open source move, Facebook is open-sourcing Relay, which does data-fetching for React JavaScript applications. There will now undoubtedly be more development going on with Relay.
