Amdocs to contribute key modules to OpenECOMP to
help accelerate the industry uptake of common SDN and NFV standards
and faster service delivery architectures
Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), the leading provider of digital customer
experience solutions, today announced that it will partner with the
Linux Foundation to accelerate the global adoption of the open
source Enhanced Control, Orchestration, Management and Policy
(ECOMP) platform. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, this new project
will make ECOMP open source available to service providers and
cloud developers in 2017.
AT&T have previously announced their plan to
build a global community around ECOMP and said it was working with
the Linux Foundation as the host for this open source initiative.
Since this announcement, both Bell Canada and Orange have released
endorsements of the standard. Amdocs will play a role of key
contributing member in the new Linux Foundation project, bringing
significant software development capabilities and industry
expertise to drive industry adoption of OpenECOMP.
“By deploying OpenECOMP, service providers can move
from today’s appliance-based, proprietary networks to easily
configurable and scalable software-based networks and associated
services. These software-driven networks will allow carriers to be
much quicker with new service introduction and provide an improved
connectivity and service experience to their customers,” said Gary
Miles, chief marketing officer at Amdocs. “Having co-developed
important modules to be contributed to OpenECOMP, we are in a
position to help customers achieve an early advantage in leveraging
OpenECOMP for service innovation.”
At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month, Amdocs will be
showcasing a wide range of virtualized services from its NFV
partner ecosystem. To learn more about this partner program, visit
