Welcome to CORD

This repository is an entry point to CORD's open reference implementation. It helps you to build and deploy CORD.

What is CORD

CORD (Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter) is a revolutionary concept to turn Telco Central Offices (and MSO Head Ends) into a modern mini-datacenters. We call this a CORD POD. A POD is made up of commodity servers, switches, and other networking devices. The POD is an application deployment platform optimized for both conventional cloud-scale applications as well as virtual network functions (VNF).

What is the CORD Reference Implementation

The CORD open reference implementation is comprised of:

  • A number of POD hardware specifications that can serve as reference implementations

  • A software platform that when deployed on the servers implements service-agnostic software infrastructure enabling deployment of sophisticated network services

  • A few sample service implementations that can be readily deployed onto CORD PODs

  • A deployment automation framework that simplifies the installation of the platform layers as well as the sample services

  • An extendable test framework and test suite to verify and characterize the platfrom as well as the sample services

  • Extensive documentation to work with CORD

Quick Start

If this is your first encounter with CORD, you may consider giving it a quick spin. We made it real easy. You can bring up CORD on a single server or on a few servers (with or without a real fabric) with a few commands.

Please follow our Quick Start Tutorial.
