1. Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) is combining the open source projects ECOMP and OPEN-O to create a unified architecture and implementation for automating networking and orchestration. 2. ONAP aims to provide an open source framework for the complete lifecycle management of virtualized software defined networks and services. 3. The goal is for ONAP to accelerate the delivery of new services, increase network programmability, and reduce costs through automation.

3. The Announcement @ MWC Feb 2017 & Coverage

5. 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 & integra0on with OpenDaylight & OPNFV

6. 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

7. Key Imperatives and Drivers for ONAP:
§ As We Move Towards Software Defined Networks and Virtualized Network Functions, We Need
a New Approach for Operational Management Framework to Realize the Following Objectives:
§ Increase Value of the Network:
‒ Rapidly on-board new services
‒ Facilitate new business & revenue models
‒ Make Network Programmable in real-time
§ Reduce Capex:
‒ Reduce / Eliminate dependency on development cycles
‒ Dynamically adjust capacity & Allocate Resource When / Where Needed
‒ Lower aggregated spare capacity
§ Reduce OpEx:
‒ Automated service delivery and activation with Zero Touch Flow Through
‒ Policy & Analytics-driven closed loop optimization
§ Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) provide such a framework for complete lifecycle
management of Virtualized Software Defined Network and Services
