Radisys Delivers Integration of Industry Leading Virtual MRF with ONAP Amsterdam Release
Radisys®
Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a global leader of open telecom
solutions, today announced that Orange (News - Alert) Labs Networks has integrated
Radisys' market leading MediaEngine™ virtualized Media Resource Function (vMRF)
in the ONAP (Open Network Automation (News - Alert) Platform) "Amsterdam" release. An
industry first integration of a complete commercial-grade Media Resource
Virtual Network Function (VNF) in the ONAP release paves the way for
additional VNF integrations with ONAP, accelerating commercial
deployments.
Highlights
-
Lack of commonality of vendor platforms and significant customizations
required for each carrier environment has been one of the biggest
challenges for communications service providers (CSP's (News - Alert)) to rapidly
roll out new innovative services. TheĀ Open Network Automation Platform
(ONAP) project's recent "Amsterdam" release addresses this challenge
by introducing an open architecture for network automation and
complete VNF life cycle management to enable innovative and
interoperable network and application services at a global scale and
reduced OpEx.
-
Orange Labs Networs has integrated Radisys' market-leading
MediaEngine vMRF in the ONAP "Amsterdam" release. With this
integration, Radisys and Orange have jointly demonstrated to the
industry that ONAP is ready to easily onboard commercial VNFs, paving
a path to live deployments for network transformation. As a major ONAP
virtual function integrator and VNF provider, Radisys is enabling the
ONAP community to deploy open infrastructures based on SDN/NFV that
are more cost-effective and scalable, while delivering a blueprint for
virtualized real-time voice and video services over 4G/LTE (News - Alert) networks.
-
The overall solution includes complete cost-effective vMRF lifecycle
management of ONAP infrastructure, including elastic scaling, policy
driven controls, and zero-touch automation and management,
significantly reducing time-to-market and OpEx.
"As we transform our network, we are turning to new innovative and
disruptive vendors that will support our move to open source
technologies like ONAP to guarantee our software independence and
openness," said Eric Debeau, Head of Network Automation Platform Team at
Orange. "With its deep heritage in software, hardware and services for
the telecom industry combined with its experience with ONAP, Radisys is
helping drive new service creation through enabling virtualization of
network services through cost-efficient design, implementation and
management."
"Our collaboration with Orange on this first demonstration of vMRF on
ONAP sets the stage for operators like Orange to transform their
networks with other commercial VNFs," said Adnan Saleem, CTO Software
and Cloud Solutions, MediaEngine, Radisys. "We are excited to be able to
participate with Orange Labs Networks, and other service providers to
not only onboard our VNFs, but also bring the expertise to onboard other
VNFs and provide complete ONAP integration services to accelerate
delivery of new innovative applications."
