3.5 OPNFV and CNTT
Editor: Rabi Abdel
Introduction
The Common NFVI telco Taskforce (CNTT) is a LFN sponsored Taskforce (alongside GSMA sponsorship) and is an initiative that is aiming to minimise the number of Network Function Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI) configurations available (as a result of fragmentation of technologies/solutions provided by Open Source Project) and come up with few set of standardised infrastructure profiles for various NFV workloads as well as IT workloads. CNTT compromises of a Reference Model that explains how the infrastructure is exposed to workload in a standard way, Reference Architectures : Open Stack based and Kubernetes based (at the time when this WP is written) to deliver a conformant infrastructure based on those technologies, Reference Implementations: Open Stack and K8s based (at the time when this WP is written) to be used as a basis of any testing and validation activities, and Finally Reference Certifications with an extensive set of testing harnesses to be used to test the conformance of any vendor implemented infrastructure to the CNTT specifications. More information about CNTT can be found in CNTT GitHub.

3.6 PNDA
Editor: Donald Hunter
Introduction
Innovation in the big data space is extremely rapid, but composing the multitude of technologies together into an end-to-end solution can be extremely complex and time-consuming. The vision of PNDA is to remove this complexity, and allow you to focus on your solution instead. PNDA is an integrated big data platform for the networking world, curated from the best of the Hadoop ecosystem. PNDA brings together a number of open source technologies to provide a simple, scalable, open big data analytics platform that is capable of storing and processing data from modern large-scale networks. It supports a range of applications for networks and services covering both the Operational Intelligence (OSS) and Business intelligence (BSS) domains. PNDA also includes components that aid in the operational management and application development for the platform itself.
