Amdocs: Bell Canada Reaches Milestone in Network 3.0 Vision with Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) and Strategic Partnership with Amdocs

Bell's leadership in bringing open source ONAP into production enables
innovative new offerings to customers faster and at lower cost 

ST. LOUIS, 2018-01-22 12:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to
communications and media companies, today announced that Bell, Canada's largest
communications company, has successfully implemented the first network
automation use case in production leveraging the Linux Foundation's Open
Network Automation Platform (ONAP). As Bell's strategic partner, Amdocs brings
unparalleled ONAP expertise and DevOps scrum team agility and delivery
capabilities with the goal of driving innovation faster and reducing the cost
of building and operating the data center of the future. 

With clear benefits such as a more elastic network and increased business
agility to be gained from taking advantage of network functions virtualization
(NFV), Bell is driving its network transformation by leveraging the ONAP-based
network service orchestration (NSO) platform to introduce new services faster
to its enterprise and consumer customers. This includes automating its data
center tenant network provisioning on ONAP to automate the operations of its
data centers. Bell is focused on providing its operations teams with tools to
automate life cycle management of both physical and virtual network functions,
incident management and service assurance. 

Bell's Network 3.0 transformation initiative includes technology, process and
people, with a strong emphasis on advancing its DevOps journey. This involves
building the team and talent to support a cross-organizational DevOps model and
creating a culture of Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD). A
tangible outcome of this approach is Bell's development of software that serves
as the foundation for ONAP Operations Manager (OOM), which helps simplify
deployments, reduce footprint and enable continuous delivery. The software has
been contributed to the open source ONAP community to help others embrace ONAP. 

"Bell is leading the industry in implementing open source based on automation
for NFV services," said Petri Lyytikainen, Bell's Vice President, Network
Strategy, Services and Management. "Together with Amdocs, we are fostering a
new partnership business model to realize the benefits of the ONAP open source
community. We are co-developing on the ONAP platform, implementing services and
operationalizing the platform using continuous integration and delivery methods
to deliver services to market faster and meet the unique needs of Bell's
customers. Amdocs, one of the co-authors of the original ONAP code base, is in
an excellent position to help Bell deliver network automation that supports NFV
and SDN." 

"Open source ONAP and programmable network models are going to be competitive
differentiators as networks become more fundamental to the future digital
society. Service providers that embrace this disruption early with ONAP will be
in a significantly stronger position as networks evolve to become completely
elastic, agile and programmable," said Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President
for Amdocs Technology. "First-mover advantage for ONAP will go to carriers that
establish the vital building blocks by developing expertise in their
organization around open source in networking and agile development and by
smartly leveraging an open and rich eco-system." 

"We expect ONAP to be adopted as the industry standard for network automation
built with SDN and NFV," said Arpit Joshipura, General Manager of Networking
and Orchestration at The Linux Foundation. "The project has been endorsed by
top global carriers and a vendor eco-system representing more than half of all
mobile subscribers. It's also a clear proof-point that the open source path to
standardization is the most viable solution to drive agility and automation,
and carriers can start immediately with ONAP."
