VirtuWind: Virtual and Programmable Industrial Network Prototype Deployed in Operational Wind Park

With anticipated exponential growth of connected devices, future industrial networks require an open solutions architecture facilitated by standards and a strong ecosystem.VirtuWind aims to develop and demonstrate an SDN and NFV ecosystem, based on an open, modular and secure framework.A prototype of the framework for intra-domain and inter-domain scenarios will be showcased in real wind parks,as a representative use case of industrial networks. Validate the economic viability of the demonstrated solution is paramount for VirtuWind. This paper details this vision and explains steps forward
