As service providers continue efforts to virtualize their networks, the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) Project has unveiled its first platform release, ONAP Amsterdam, which aims to deliver a unified architecture for end-to-end, closed-loop network automation.

ONAP says it’s the first open-source project to bring together the majority of operators (end users) with the majority of vendors (integrators) to create a real service automation and orchestration platform, which provides a new service delivery lifecycle for teleco, cable, and cloud providers.

Dubbed Amsterdam, the platform is the first completed work since the separate open source virtualisation projects OpenECOMP and Open-O combined earlier this year.

ONAP said Amsterdam merged the work of both projects but also rearchitected and optimised their code bases into a “single, flexible and modular platform.”

The Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) project unveiled its first release, a unified architecture for closed-loop network automation designed to enable tier-one operators to rapidly deploy new services.

In an announcement ONAP said the release, dubbed Amsterdam, is the first step towards delivering a shared open source architecture capable of being implemented on a global basis.

There are two things The Linux Foundation’s Arpit Joshipura very much wants you to know about ONAP: It’s a platform, not a product, and there are real-world deployments of it underway by service providers. Joshipura outlined those two items and much more ahead of Monday’s news that ONAP had issued its first software release.

The recently established Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) Project has marked the first official release of its open source code, written in collaboration with major network operators.

The release codenamed Amsterdam focuses on service automation and orchestration, and includes “verified blueprints” to implement VoLTE and Residential vCPE technologies.

Less than nine months after AT&T and the Linux Foundation merged their open source projects to become the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP), the group today rolled out its first code release, Amsterdam.

The highly anticipated release, which integrates AT&T’s ECOMP and the Linux Foundation’s Open-O code bases into a common open source orchestration platform, aims to automate the virtualization of network services.

The Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) Project announced the availability of its first platform release, ONAP “Amsterdam,” which delivers a unified architecture for closed-loop network automation. The Amsterdam release provides a unified architecture which includes production-proven code from open source ECOMP and OPEN-O to provide design-time and run-time environments within a single, policy-driven service orchestration platform.

ONAP today rolled out its much-anticipated first software release, dubbed Amsterdam, promising a unified architecture for network automation, modules of which can — and are — being used immediately by network operators beyond AT&T. (See ONAP Issues Amsterdam, First Software .)

In the eight months since AT&T’s OpenECOMP combined with Open-Orchestration to form the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) under the Linux Foundation banner, the group has grown to 58 members. And with Amsterdam, ONAP releases a unified architecture that not only combines the contributed code of both groups, removing duplication in the process, but also adds significant new features including a new correlation engine called Holmes which has been added to the ECOMP Data Collection, Analytics and Events (DCAE) module and a new module called Control Loop Automation Management Platform (CLAMP).

ONAP has taken another step forward as a key enabler for service providers virtualizing their networks with its first platform release, ONAP Amsterdam, focusing on a unified​ ​architecture​ ​for​ ​closed-loop​ ​network​ ​automation.

Amdocs, a software and services provider to communications and media companies, rolled out a new intercarrier service orchestration solution, which enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to automate traffic scaling across multiple carrier networks.

The offering addresses issues CPS’s face associated with committing to and meeting enterprise service level agreements (SLAs) for high performance connectivity. It provides the elasticity and automated scaling associated with an open source architecture founded on open network automation platform (ONAP). It also leverages MEF’s lifecycle services orchestration (LSO) application programming interfaces (APIs) for connectivity services across various global networks.
