Red Hat and Amdocs collaborate

Amdocs, the leading provider of customer experience solutions, has integrated Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform with the Amdocs Network Cloud Service Orchestrator - an open, vendor-agnostic, catalogue-driven solution designed to help communications service providers (CSPs) transition from physical networks to cloud service environments.

Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, Amdocs Network Cloud Service Orchestrator offers a complete solution for the orchestration of telecommunications services in a software-led environment. By enabling the continuous design, instantiation and assurance of complex network services comprising virtual network functions, the solution enables agile operations and gives CSPs the ability to rapidly introduce new services and quickly address customer needs and competitive pressures. With this open source-based solution, CSPs can more rapidly deploy virtual network functions (VNFs) from different vendors across its service catalogue and evolve towards running multi-vendor, multi-operation, end-to-end services for customers.



Amdocs chose Red Hat because of its position as an open source and OpenStack leader and because of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform's emergence as a leading cloud platform for NFV that enables faster, open innovation. Amdocs relies on Red Hat as a stable platform partner offering security features and global support capabilities that can deliver the performance, scalability and deployment requirements of a carrier-grade operation, all of which are fundamental for CSPs as they undertake the transformation of their legacy infrastructure for cloud-based services delivery.



Amdocs Network Cloud Service Orchestrator utilizing Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform has been part of several NFV lab trials with tier one telco providers globally, implementing a range of use cases with multiple vendors, including virtual CPE (customer premises equipment), virtual EPC (evolved packet core) and virtual IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).
