Amdocs NFV powered by ONAP – the world’s first software and services portfolio for carriers based on open source
September 12 2017 - 6:00AM
Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to
communications and media companies, today announced Amdocs Network
Function Virtualization (NFV) powered by Open Network Automation
Platform (ONAP)
– a portfolio featuring modular
capabilities that accelerate service design, virtualization and
operating capabilities on demand.
As the communications and media industry moves from static
appliance-based networks to software based, elastic networks,
carriers will be increasingly capable of providing services and
capacity on demand or based on predictive traffic patterns.
Instead of building networks for high peak periods, carriers want
to spin them up dynamically to provide better network services in
the right locations at lower price points. Service providers using
technologies developed in ONAP and its ecosystem of capabilities
can provide enterprises the ability to design their own networks as
part of a richer set of service features.
Carriers therefore demand network virtualization software that
is capacity aware; created using open source technology from ONAP
by an impressive system of partners that lead with innovation.
Amdocs NFV powered by ONAP is the first and most comprehensive
software and services offering that leverages open source
networking technology, and can be deployed either locally or in the
public cloud using modern DevOps adoption techniques.
As a founding creator of a number of significant modules of
ONAP, Amdocs retains first-mover advantage with important modules
like Amdocs Service Design and Create to automate service design,
and Amdocs Active Inventory for a unified live view of services
powered by ONAP. These contributions mean Amdocs has already been
working with many early adopter and galaxy operators including work
on pragmatic approaches to manage service design and creation,
on-boarding of virtualized service functions, monitoring of active
inventory in hybrid networks and the continuous, elastic
maintenance of the network itself. This addresses the needs of
operators seeking adaptable, scalable, software-driven networks
based on cloud and microservices technologies.
For testing and verifying virtual services on ONAP’s open source
platform, Amdocs offers easy deployment of ONAP and a cloud-based
hosting environment complemented with pre-defined SD-WAN
acceleration kit and administration tools to fast track proof of
concepts and use case validation.
“Amdocs brings unique expertise derived from working with ONAP’s
early adopters, including North American carriers that include
Bell, and European carriers such as Orange, to help service
providers drive value from virtualization and this offering lays
the framework for additional carrier-grade enhancements as the ONAP
code matures. Open source brings unparalleled agility and
innovation to the market. In such a dynamic environment, it is
important that the industry is able to package open source
contributions into a mature capability set for live network
operations. This is what we have achieved with the Amdocs NFV
powered by ONAP professional portfolio,” said Gary Miles, general
manager at Amdocs. “It represents a brand new frontier for
the communications and media industry and addresses the many
time-to-market challenges facing carriers who want to rapidly
launch new virtual services, and gain the future proof advantages
of ONAP open source technology today.”
“Amdocs’ open network partner ecosystem of industry leading
vendors has created more than 80 Virtual Network Functions (VNFs),
delivering innovative NFV use-cases that speed up complex
multi-vendor service deployments. This is complemented by a
portfolio of professional services to fast-track NFV strategic
planning, implementation and operations/assurance, as well as
integration to existing operational and business support systems,
essential to commercializing virtual network services for our
customers now and in the future.”
