Software and services provider Amdocs has launched a new portfolio of modular solutions designed to speed service design, virtualization and operational capabilities on demand.
The Amdocs Network Function Virtualization (NFV) portfolio, powered by the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP), is presented as the industry’s first comprehensive commercial offering that integrates open source networking technology. It supports deployment either on-premises or in public cloud environments and is built around modern DevOps methodologies to streamline development, testing and production operations.
As a founding contributor to several key ONAP components, Amdocs brings a first-mover advantage with critical modules such as Amdocs Service Design and Create, which automates service modeling and lifecycle orchestration, and Amdocs Active Inventory, which delivers a unified, real-time view of services within ONAP-driven environments.
Through collaboration with early adopters and major operators, Amdocs has developed pragmatic approaches for handling service design and creation, onboarding virtualized network functions (VNFs), and monitoring active inventory across hybrid network environments. The portfolio also supports continuous, elastic maintenance of network functions, helping operators migrate to adaptable, software-defined networks built on cloud-native and microservices principles.
Gary Miles, General Manager at Amdocs, said: “Open source brings unparalleled agility and innovation to the market. In such a dynamic environment, it is important that the industry is able to package open source contributions into a mature capability set for live network operations. This is what we have achieved with the Amdocs NFV powered by ONAP professional portfolio.”
The portfolio’s modular architecture allows operators to adopt only the capabilities they need—such as service creation, orchestration, assurance and inventory—while ensuring interoperability with existing OSS/BSS systems. By leveraging ONAP’s community-driven components alongside Amdocs’ integration, testing and operational expertise, service providers can reduce time-to-market for new network services, lower operational costs and increase the agility of their infrastructure.
Key benefits highlighted by Amdocs include:
- Accelerated service design and lifecycle automation using model-driven approaches.
- Flexible deployment options across private and public clouds with DevOps-friendly tooling.
- Real-time visibility into active services and resources via a unified inventory model.
- Streamlined onboarding and management of virtualized network functions.
- Scalable, cloud-native operations that support continuous, elastic maintenance.
For operators pursuing digital transformation, the combined capabilities of ONAP and Amdocs’ professional services aim to simplify the transition to virtualized, software-driven networks. By consolidating open source innovation into production-ready offerings, the company seeks to help service providers maintain service quality while adapting rapidly to new market demands.
As the industry continues to embrace virtualization and cloud-native architectures, the emphasis on modular, interoperable solutions is growing. Amdocs’ NFV portfolio positions the company to support operators that require both the flexibility of open source platforms and the operational maturity of tested commercial implementations.
