AT&T and Amdocs Collaborate to Deliver Open Software Solutions to Accelerate Network Function Virtualization
July 26 2016 - 4:05PM
Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX) will be the integrator for telecommunications
companies and cloud developers who want to use AT&T’s ECOMP
platform to build their own software-centric network services.
AT&T created and developed ECOMP and recently committed to
releasing that code into open source. Amdocs will help companies
deploy that open source software into their own networks. ECOMP is
a vital tool for service providers struggling to meet today’s
network demands while preparing for an even greater load in the
next few years from applications like virtual reality and augmented
reality, 4K video and the Internet of Things.
ECOMP is a comprehensive software suite spanning the entire NFV
service life cycle. This will enable shorter service introduction
times, improved operational efficiencies and agile data-driven
service management of NFV and software defined network (SDN)
functions and services. The offering will target capabilities like
the creation of a single view of physical and virtual resources and
services, rapid service design, master service orchestration and
automated configuration and management. AT&T has already
implemented ECOMP in its software-based network, while Amdocs will
help market the platform globally. AT&T and Amdocs will
continue to enhance the platform through standardization and
contributions to the open source community.
“ECOMP is the engine of our software-centric network. And
recently, we revealed our plan to build a global community around
ECOMP to help service providers and developers meet the network
demands of next-gen technologies,” said Chris Rice, VP of Advanced
Technologies and Architecture at AT&T Labs. “Today, we’re
excited to share that a few months back Amdocs became an early
collaborator on ECOMP and will become an integrator for ECOMP in
the industry. We believe ECOMP will set the standard for virtual
network (VNF) automation, and Amdocs will support the growth of the
platform as more and more service providers begin using it.”
“Achieving better service agility is at the heart of this
initiative and is one of the key business imperatives. Using
carrier-optimized cloud infrastructure to separate hardware and
software layers will increase the value of the network by allowing
the rapid onboarding of new services to our customers,” said
Anthony Goonetilleke, division president at Amdocs. “Together, we
will deliver the ECOMP platform to the industry to simplify network
environments and drive operational and capital savings, while
continuing to accelerate service innovation and network value
through agile software powered networksTM.”
