We believe the future is open software networks that give service providers control over how they implement their ideas and priorities for change. We believe our job is to be the catalyst to bring open software networking out of the lab and into their live network. We started Lumina Networks to ensure that providers can use open source in critical use cases, not just experimental ones. Yet, delivering technology by itself is not enough. Our customers are learning and doing with us, so they acquire the skills, practices and tools needed to develop and manage the platforms we jointly deploy. The Lumina SDN Controller, powered by OpenDaylight, provides a common, open platform for developers, giving providers direct control over their SDN development and implementation thus eliminating lock-in. Today, the OpenDaylight SDN Controller is widely deployed, supporting over 1 billion users worldwide. To ensure 100 percent compatibility with OpenDaylight’s code base, Lumina contributes any enhancements made to its SDN controller back to the open source community. Lumina packages, tests and qualifies the ODL code for the specific use cases of our customers. Organizations that need some help in implementing an open software network or want to expand the skillset of their network engineering and operations team through hands-on experience can utilize Lumina NetDev Services. Our NetDev Services team works with customers to jointly develop production systems using Agile methods to prototype and speed through proof-of-concept and pilot phases. Lumina NetDev Services build solutions using open source projects. Lumina and competitive products. Together with customers we turn into reality the deployment of SDN, automation, disaggregated networking, DevOps, NetOps and more. And the best part is that our methodologies enable the engaging customer teams to become self-sufficient in developing and managing their new open source platforms.
