The ONF authorizes the first international OpenFlow certification lab in the world

As a non-profit organization committed to accelerating SDN (Software Defined Network) technologies, Open Networking Foundation (ONF) announced that it authorized BII’s Global SDN Testing andCertificationCenterto provide OpenFlow testing and certification services across the world in August 2013. As the first international testing and certification lab authorized by the ONF beyond theUSA, the Center will cooperate with its partners to strive for the global commercialization of SDN and the OpenFlow protocol. BII, as a member of the ONF, will be responsible for promoting the deployment and commercialization of SDN and the OpenFlow protocol in Chinese operators, data centers, internet companies and large enterprises. 

Strategic cooperation with such labs as American InCNTRE and IOL

The Center undertakes strategic cooperation with testing labs like Amercian InCNTRE and IOL to jointly improve testing procedure, testing tools and technological development.

Spur the combination of SDN technologies and cloud platforms like OpenStack

As an open source project which aims to provide software for the construction and management of public and private cloud, OpenStack has over 130 enterprises and 1,350 developers in its community. BII has always maintained a good partnership with international organizations like OpenStack to boost the application of SDN technologies on cloud platforms like OpenStack.
