The ADTRAN Modular Open System Architecture for Intelligent Cloud is a software-defined open access approach for SD-Access that empowers telcos and cable operators to automate network operations. The platform operates using ADTRAN's next-generation component-based software operating system. This OS supports creation of operational applications and features at the network control and service orchestration layer and at the hardware abstraction layer. Specifically, it natively supports a portfolio of programmable physical network elements, extending from the cloud-edge to the consumer edge.
MOSAIC is integrated natively with an open source, carrier-grade SDN controller (Open ONOS). This allows operators to leverage a wide partner community for the rapid creation of consumer-directed, user-enabled applications. The ADTRAN SD-Access solution powered by ADTRAN MOSAIC offers an agnostic model that is transparent to access technology, chipset, and media.
In other words, as one Diamonds judge said, MOSAIC demonstrates with a "solid, positive response" that a network can thrive with an open-source vendor-agnostic management platform at the orchestration layer.
