Amdocs announced Amdocs Network Function Virtualization (NFV) that is powered by open source networking technology, the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP), enabling service providers to accelerate NFV/SDN service innovation.
Amdocs claims that the new Amdocs NFV is the industry’s first software and services portfolio to leverage ONAP solution. Amdocs said that the solution can be deployed either locally or in the public cloud using modern DevOps adoption techniques.
Amdocs’ new module-based portfolio includes a service design and creation module, an active inventory module, and an orchestration module. As co-creator of a number of significant modules of ONAP, Amdocs said it retains first-mover advantage with important modules like Amdocs Service Design and Create to automate service design, and Amdocs Active Inventory for a unified live view of services powered by ONAP.
For testing and verifying virtual services on ONAP’s open source platform, Amdocs said it offers easy deployment of ONAP and a cloud-based hosting environment complemented with pre-defined SD-WAN acceleration kit and administration tools to fast track proof of concepts and use case validation.
The NFV portfolio is supported by Amdocs’ open network partner ecosystem of industry leading vendors that has created more than 80 Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), delivering innovative NFV use-cases that speed up complex multi-vendor service deployments.

Open source brings unparalleled agility and innovation to the market. In such a dynamic environment, it is important that the industry is able to package open source contributions into a mature capability set for live network operations. This is what we have achieved with the Amdocs NFV powered by ONAP professional portfolio.
