Amdocs partners with Microsoft over ONAP implementation on Azure

Amdocs has announced its implementation of Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. This new development enables operators to deliver virtual network services running on Azure, orchestrated and managed using ONAP.

 

“This project is a first step in the evolution of ONAP to manage a multi-cloud environment where network capacity can be consumed in a dynamic way across a combination of private and public clouds,” said Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President of Amdocs Technology. “It is a proof point showing the industry momentum behind ONAP while reducing the upfront investment to embark on a network virtualization strategy. It is also further evidence of Amdocs and Microsoft’s commitment to continue innovating and promoting open-source networking solutions to accelerate the adoption of NFV.”

 

Amdocs is working with Microsoft to make the ONAP code available to the open-source community in May 2018. Network operators will then be able to offer network services running on Azure as the primary cloud or as complementary capacity for their private cloud to deploy virtual network functions that are managed and orchestrated by ONAP.

 

Yousef Khalidi, Corporate Vice-President for Azure Networking, Microsoft Corp., said, “Today’s next-generation operators are challenged by the complexity and cost of developing their existing network infrastructures and require new cloud services to enable faster network virtualization. To address these issues, Amdocs and Microsoft are using ONAP to control network services on Microsoft Azure – an integrated solution that helps network operators deliver advanced virtual network functionality, while simply and reliably automating operations and reducing costs using open-source technology and cloud based-services.”
