What People are Saying
“OpenDaylight is quickly evolving into something formidable with good potential
for mainstream relevancy.” – Andrew Lerner, Gartner
“OpenDaylight is making steady progress cultivating a growing community of
developers and users interested in adopting an open, common SDN controller
platform.” – Brad Casemore, IDC Research Director for Datacenter Networks
An open source approach to software-defined networking (SDN)
moved several steps closer this week to becoming a de facto standard.
– Mike Vizard, IT Business Edge
