Amdocs introduces virtualized intercarrier service orchestration solution with traffic scaling capabilities to better service...
November 13 2017 - 6:00AM
Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to
communications and media companies, today announced it is
introducing a new intercarrier service orchestration solution that
allows Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to automate traffic
scaling across multiple carrier networks . This offering resolves
CSPs’ challenges associated with how to commit and meet enterprise
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for high performance connectivity,
with the future proof advantages of an open source architecture
based on Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) that provides
elasticity and automated scaling.
A key business issue facing CSPs servicing multinational
enterprise customers is that they need to rely on other partners
across the globe to provide a complete service while committing to
SLAs for end to end network connectivity. Now they can
leverage the new Amdocs solution to deliver elastic connectivity
that can be spun up on demand and can be flexed to match the
demands of cloud-based solutions, by orchestrating the dynamic
international connectivity needs of their enterprise customers.
The new solution is based on ONAP open source code and uses
MEF’s Lifecycle Services Orchestration (LSO) application
programming interfaces (APIs) for connectivity services across
multiple global networks. This new solution will be showcased at
MEF 17, where Amdocs, alongside three major international
multi-play carriers and partners including Fujitsu, are
demonstrating flexible, software centric intra and intercarrier
orchestration across multiple service provider networks that can
scale connectivity and cloud services on demand while providing
automated intercarrier connectivity.
"Intercarrier service orchestration solutions are a compelling
example of how versatile ONAP’s architecture has already become,”
said Arpit Joshipura, general manager of networking and
orchestration, The Linux Foundation. “When integrated with MEF’s
standards, these type of solutions can be used to solve network
traffic management issues across networks. Support for intra and
intercarrier operations resolves a major business problem for CSPs
today specifically for enterprise customers.”
“This launch and new initiative from Amdocs demonstrates how
technology companies are meeting communication providers’ needs by
using MEF’s emerging LSO Sonata APIs for serviceability and
ordering and integrating them with ONAP’s open source network
architecture to provide a seamless service experience both within
and between service providers,” said Pascal Menezes, CTO,
MEF.
“Amdocs’ new solution leverages several technological
developments pioneered in our Amdocs NFV powered by ONAP portfolio,
which is the industry’s first comprehensive software and services
offering built on ONAP open source technology,” says Anthony
Goonetilleke, group president, Amdocs. “Today we have a unique
virtual intercarrier orchestration solution created using ONAP’s
open-source framework. It offers service providers the ability to
easily automate intra and intercarrier network scenarios end to end
from initial ordering to in-life management of the service
sub-components in a virtualized network. The use of MEF standards
and APIs enhances the solution by simplifying intercarrier
connectivity and by combining this with ONAP, Amdocs is leading the
market with practical NFV solutions that accelerate service agility
for our customers.”
