MEF18 Proof of Concept, 29 – 31 Oct – Transformation in Action: Harmonizing Delivery of Intent-Based Networks & Services.
PoC Participants: AT&T, Amdocs, Fujitsu Network Communications, and Iometrix.
Speaker: Raluca Sirbu, Director, Network Infrastructure & Services, AT&T
This PoC focuses on building a transformational ecoystem that will:
– Automate services with zero-touch delivery and activation across multiple domains.
– Enrich the customer experience.
– Empower customers by defining policies for their assets and using natural language to set intent.
– Develop an assistant to manage customer personas and related interactions.
– Create a responsive network that is able to self-adjust and heal to meet customer and application driven requirements.
– Provide a homogenous experience across heterogenous networks, blending technologies by creating software-centric network services across multiple domains.
The open framework for transformation includes intent, smart devices, an intent engine, orchestration, and an SDN-enabled network.
The PoC incorporates MEF work on LSO Cantata, LSO Interlude, LSO Legato, LSO Presto, and LSO Adagio interfaces, the draft SD-WAN services standard, and numerous MEF specifications. The PoC also incorporates ONAP, AT&T’s DANOS (disaggregated operating system, which will become open source shortly), and Fujitsu’s Warrior open source automation framework for development and deployment of microservices.
Save the date for MEF19, 18-22 November 2019, JW Marriott, LA LIVE, Los Angeles.
