Windstream's Nichols, Frane discuss why open source is important
While the road to virtualization has included potholes and bad signage, open source can provide the right roadmap, according to Windstream executives.
Although some service providers are still on the fence when it comes to using open source, Windstream Enterprise's Arthur Nichols, vice president of network architecture and technology, and Mike Frane, vice president of product development and portal, are believers.
Windstream is using open source technologies or applications from OpenStack, ONOS, Kafka, Message Bus and RabbitMQ, to name just a few. It's also a member of the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) open source community.
