Meeting Minutes - 1/20/2021

Key Questions: 

#1 What does ONAP offer to an enterprise customer (IoT, Financial, Healthcare, Gaming, etc) that we can't get from existing cloud offers or outside the Cloud.

#2 What does ONAP offer on top of that outside of the telco space?

Different Scenarios

1) 3rd party vendors using ONAP to serve their enterprise customers (operating model - managed services)

2) Operators offering solutions to Enterprises (based on 5G Techno - Network Slicing, Virtual Edge, etc) supported by 3rd party vendors

  • Feedback from Carriers:
    • Fernando Oliveira- Investment in Gaming, Edge Computing - possibility to re-use ONAP as a key orchestrator
    • Catherine Lefevre -  Edge Computing is the area where AT&T have invested (i.e. Akraino) in conjunction with ONAP possibilities; We have a  Gaming division inherited from TimeWarner but not yet explored added-value of ONAP in this space

3) Enterprise customers running ONAP themselves (on their premises), supported/trained by 3rd party vendors

Additional thought(s)

#1 Investigate what Openstack is offering to Enterprise Business?

#2 Contact Cheng Huang, gyaoguang wang - leading ONAP Support for Vertical Industry (DDF Topic in Feb 2021)

#3 Maybe reconnect with Helen Chenabout Healthcare

#4 Ask TSC members, EAUG if any contact point from their Enterprise Business

#5 Kick-off a survey to get feedback about interest and use cases
