Join OpenSourceMANO at the ETSI SNS4SNS Event!

Sophia Antipolis, 11 October 2024:

The ETSI OpenSourceMANO (OSM) community is thrilled to participate in the upcoming ETSI SNS4SNS Event from 12-14 November 2024 in Sophia Antipolis, France. OSM’s contributions to network automation and orchestration will take center stage through various talks, panels, demos, and posters, showcasing the impact of OSM in advancing cloud-native network solutions.

Attendees will have the opportunity to see firsthand how OSM is driving innovation and shaping the future of telecom orchestration through its dynamic and cutting-edge solutions.

The event is free of charge and open to all, but seats are limited: register now!

SDG OpenSourceMANO at the SNS4SNS Conference

The Conference on Software and Standards for Smart Networks and Services will bring together experts and decision makers from different standards organizations, open source communities and research initiatives to discuss synergies, best practices and opportunities for collaboration in the design and development of sustainable and interoperable networks and services. The conference will include sessions on Access Networks and Services, Telco Cloud Infrastructure, Management, Orchestration and Operations, Network Exposure, APIs and Programmability and will conclude with a large operator panel to discuss conclusions and next steps.

Session 3 - Management, Orchestration and Operations. ETSI OSM Chair, Francisco-Javier Ramón Salguero, will be a featured speaker at the event, sharing insights on scalable cloud-native operation of multi-cloud deployments.

OpenSourceMANO Demos

Although OSM will not be leading demonstrations at the upcoming SNS4SNS event, its powerful orchestration capabilities will be featured across various stands as part of multiple deployments and integrations. The following instances will demonstrate how OSM continues to drive innovation by enabling efficient orchestration in different real-world scenarios:

  • STAND 1: Open Source for Telco-Cloud: An ETSI SDG-based solution to facilitate zero-touch, multi-slice 5G deployments across the cloud-edge continuum.
  • STAND 2: Joint End-to-End Service and Resource Orchestration with Built-In Telemetry Services.
  • STAND 10: Enabling Cloud AR/VR Gaming Services by an Open-Source and Standards-Based Network-as-a-Service Platform for Control and Management of Optical Networks.

OpenSourceMANO Posters

The following posters will feature OpenSourceMANO as a key platform orchestrator, showcasing its pivotal role in enabling dynamic and efficient orchestration within a variety of advanced network deployments:

Joint End-to-End Service and Resource Orchestration with Built-In Telemetry Services
Presented by Alexandros Valadasis, Ubitech

In this poster/demonstration, the Maestro end-to-end service orchestrator developed by UBITECH gets integrated (through standard TMForum APIs) with ETSI OSL, acting as a resource-level orchestrator atop 5G-based infrastructures. In turn, ETSI OSL delegates the orchestration of 5G core network functions to ETSI OSM, demonstrating a synergy of 3 orchestrators (and 2 SDGs) with a common objective, i.e., to accommodate a vertical application. This composite orchestration stack automatically provisions and manages a predictive maintenance industrial application across 2 geo-distributed testbeds in Greece, while realizing real-time compute and 5G infrastructure telemetry as well as service-level telemetry - both illustrated through Grafana dashboards.

F5G & ZSM PoC: F5G-advanced access and transport network with autonomous service management enabling End-to-end CAMARA QoD Services for Cloud AR/VR Gaming
Presented by Lluis Gifre, CTTC, ES

This PoC aims to demonstrate a network-as-a-service platform deploying CAMARA QoD services for Cloud AR/VR gaming, relying on an F5G-Advanced network that provides end-to-end network slices with flow service classification, differentiation, monitoring/telemetry, and assurance based on closed-loop automation. It leverages ETSI SDG TFS and OSM.

Experimenting Mission-Critical and UAV Applications over an Open 5G and Edge Testbed
Presented by Christian Grasso, University of Catania,IT

The poster presents experiments with edge applications for smart 360° video encoding and UAV Digital Twins for a distributed video-surveillance scenario. The applications are orchestrated via OSM in a 5G testbed with emulated RAN and Cumucore 5G Core Network, a monitoring and an MLOps platform.

Closed Loop Automation Platform for Intelligent Security Operations with TeraFlowSDN and OSM
Presented by Allen Abishek, CTTC

The poster demonstrates a Closed Loop Automation (CLA) platform that enhances network security through automated responses. It integrates components like Traffic Sniffer, AI-Inference, Attack-Detector, and Attack-Mitigator to detect and mitigate threats in real-time. The platform improves security resilience and automates operations, reducing detection and recovery times for malicious attacks in the network environment.
