5G & NETWORK TRANSFORMATION CONFERENCE An Introduction to ONAP Amar Kapadia My Introduction ● Author of “Understanding OPNFV”, “ONAP Demystified” ● NFV specialist with background in OpenStack, Ceph, dataplane acceleration technologies ● Co-founder Aarna Networks, Inc. ● Previously at Mirantis, Seagate, Emulex, Philips, HP ● MS EE from University of California, Berkeley © 2017 Aarna Networks, Inc. Aarna and Argela Partnership ● Aarna Networks provides the only LF-approved ONAP training courses ● Aarna and Argela are strategic partners around ONAP © 2017 Aarna Networks, Inc. What is ONAP OPEN NETWORK AUTOMATION PLATFORM: Comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions. 100% open source, part of Linux Foundation. Born Mar/2017 © 2017 Aarna Networks, Inc. Who is Behind ONAP AT&T ECOMP + Linux Foundation Open-O merger in Q2’2017 100% open source, part of Linux Foundation Operators represent 60+% of mobile users worldwide © 2017 Aarna Networks, Inc. Why ONAP? High levels of agility for 5G and MEC will require a sophisticated automation tool such as ONAP © 2017 Aarna Networks, Inc.
