The document introduces the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP), which aims to enhance network function virtualization (NFV) through automation and orchestration for faster and more reliable service delivery. Key features include a harmonized architecture for global collaboration, an open-source ecosystem, and support for emerging technologies like 5G and IoT. ONAP is designed to streamline operations, reduce manual errors, and provide real-time service management across various cloud environments.

2. Topics
1. Quick Recap: What is NFV?
2. What is ONAP?
3. A Look at the ONAP Architecture
4. Demo?

3. What is Network Function Virtualization (NFV)?

5. NFV/SDN Business Case requires Agility with Trustworthy Operations -
often opposing requirements
• Infrastructure details and deployment is abstracted to
speed service creation
• Virtual network functions describe infrastructure
requirements
• Service KPIs and Service levels

Abstract Cloud
• Mapping of Virtual Image placement to specific Server
and relationships to other instances must be
discovered and maintained in real time
• Virtual image server placement discovered in real time
Deliver more services more quickly through the factory Analyze Infrastructure faults and experience

7. Linux Foundation Framework, Governance, Control
Bringing the best of both worlds together
• 2+ years of Deployment Maturity at AT&T
• Comprehensive: Design +Orchestration + Control + Policy
+ Analytics
• Model-based design enabling self-serve capabilities for
instantiation and closed loop automation
+
▪ Open TOSCA model
▪ Most Advanced Open Source Process & tool chain
▪ Architected for ease of VNF insertion (SDK)
Based on extensions & integration with OpenDaylight & OPNFV

23. Drivers for the Integrated Vision
ONAP is industry’s first harmonization initiative at a global level
1. Harmonized solution provides an opportunity to join forces and create a
unified architecture and implementation to move the networking &
orchestration industry forward, including open standards upstream focus
2. Collaboration across providers, vendors and ecosystem with a coherent
framework for Automation - Design, Orchestration, Management & Policy
3. ONAP carves a path for improving existing OSS/BSS/FCAPS systems
and MANO framework by utilizing the best architecture models from
OPEN-O and ECOMP
