The EVOLVED-5G WIKI webpage is now available! In this page you will find documentation for the implementation and usage of EVOLVED-5G framework elements and key information regarding the EVOLVED-5G vision, architecture and the concept of NetApp. You may find more information here:https://wiki.evolved-5g.eu/
The 5GPP white paper entitled “NetApp: Opening up 5G and beyond networks” is now available! You may find it online along with EVOLVED-5G contributions here: https://5g-ppp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/5G-PPP-Software-Network-White-Paper-V9.pdf
As part of the 5G-PPP Initiative, the Software Network Working Group prepared this white paper to demystify the concept of the Network Applications. In fact, the Network Application ecosystem is more than the introduction of new vertical applications that have interaction capabilities. It refers to the need for a separate middleware layer to simplify the implementation and deployment of vertical systems on a large scale. Specifically, third parties or network operators can contribute to Network Applications, depending on the level of interaction and trust. Different implementations have been conducted by the different projects considering different API types and different level of trust between the verticals and the owner of 5G platforms.
Harilaos Koumaras EVOLVED-5G technical manager presented the nature and the NetApp architecture of the EVOLVED-5G in the NetApp for Verticals Session of EuCNC 2022 on June 8, 2022. The session focused on discussing how NetApp empowers the verticals on-boarding on 5G and reinforce the fact that 5G is a platform and not a pipe. Different actors from diverse vertical domains will share their design and their interaction with the 5G platform owner. Through this session, we target to capture the take of the community on the level of interaction and trust that NetApp should support, the way services are provided to verticals, how NetApp simplifies the implementation and deployment of vertical systems at large scale etc.
The purpose of this document is to serve as an entry point to the implementation of the EVOLVED-5G experimental facility that will serve as the development and evaluation reference architecture for the realisation of the NetApp ecosystem. The deliverable is a result of work carried out in Tasks 2.3 and 2.4 of the EVOLVED-5G project, where main goals are to completely design all the various environments and components of the facility blueprint following the general lifecycle of a NetApp inside the ecosystem.
