The network of the future is one that can respond and adapt in near-real time to constant and unpredictable changes in demand. SDN and NFV are making this possible. Through our expertise in ONAP, ECOMP, orchestration, analytics and optimization we help our customers build a network that is open-sourced, future-proofed, highly secure and flexible enough to scale to meet any demand.

Network Design
Proper planning and design for future growth and expansion is crucial to avoid costly network upgrades and crippling downtime. Our experienced design and architecture team works collaboratively with clients to design the optimal network topology and ensure that the realized network meets their service needs.
We support capacity planning and design of software defined, mixed, hybrid as well as physical network deployment, upgrade and expansion for green as well as brown field networks.
Transition from physical to virtual network functions
One of the key drivers of SDN has always been the use of open source software and commercial, off the shelf hardware. The only problem is that overhauling legacy-laden data centers with COTS hardware is easier said than done. No one denies the long-term benefits, but implementation can prove complicated and costly.
Before committing to an SDN platform, it is essential to understand the operational needs thoroughly to assess what SDN vendors offer. CCI helps guide the evolution towards a software defined data center that is flexible, scalable and easier to manage so our clients can meet the demands of cloud computing and virtualization.
ONAP deployment, administration and operational support
ONAP is a complex platform composed of dozens of interacting components. Planning the right ONAP deployment environment, executing the deployment and ongoing operational support is critical to the success of an SDN infrastructure. Our deep understanding of ONAP and experience in deploying ONAP in diverse cloud environments helps our clients achieve their SDN goals while minimizing risks.
We offer the full array of deployment, upgrade and support services to ensure a robust, scalable and secure ONAP deployment that strengthens our clients’ infrastructure. We also support the option to transfer operational control so our clients can fully benefit from an open network without vendor lock-in.
Custom development of ONAP ecosystem components
With the wealth of available and flexible open source as well as commercial ONAP components, we make every attempt to find the best of breed solution to meet our customers’ needs. Sometimes though, our customers need a critical change to an open source project that may be misaligned with the community’s goals for the product. In those instances, we build a custom component or extend an existing open source component.
We have a proven track record of converting open source innovation into value for our customers and successful open source forking with continued support for forward compatibility. We have the expertise to extend any ONAP component and develop custom components that integrate seamlessly with ONAP to create a solution that works for your enterprise.
