The Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) project was born from the merger of two of the largest open-source networking initiatives, ECOMP and OPEN-O (Open Orchestrator Project). ONAP focuses on creating a harmonized and comprehensive framework for real-time, policy-based software automation of virtual network functionalities, enabling software vendors, IT and cloud network providers, and developers to rapidly create new services. The ONAP project includes the participation of prominent networking solution manufacturers and leading service providers from around the world.
“As pioneers in SDN-ready, multi-layer transport network solutions, we want to collaborate closely with other ONAP members to help our customers benefit from SDN automation and NFV control for faster, more efficient, and more flexible service delivery,” said Uwe Fischer, executive vice president, R&D and PLM, and CTO of Coriant. “Open networks and SDN/NFV automation are cornerstones of Coriant’s hyperscale architecture for operators, and our contribution to the ONAP project will strengthen the value proposition of this innovative approach while reinforcing Coriant’s comprehensive suite of open, multi-layer SDN solutions.”.
Coriant Hyperscale Carrier Architecture™ (HCA) brings together best-in-class telecom and data center technologies and network design principles in an advanced architecture optimized for 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the continued growth of internet video traffic.
