Network Automation eAcademy

is offering courses focused on the research and education community, with external references that can be useful for us and examples that can be closer to our use cases. It is training by the community for the community. All classes are online courses that you can follow and complete at your own pace.



Maturity Model

Use our Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation (OAV) Maturity Model to position yourself on your OAV journey

Get a quick look at your OAV progress in four main areas and subsections of our OAV Maturity Model by filling in the OAV MM Assessment survey.


OAV Terminology

It became evident during a number of discussions with the NREN community that there were different usages and understanding of various terms in the context of orchestration, automation and virtualisation (OAV). As a result, the Network eAcademy team was established to identify a list of relevant OAV terms and acronyms and provide short definitions for these terms. It was agreed that the definitions should be based on documents of standardisation bodies whenever possible. In all other cases the Network eAcademy team provided definitions based on internal discussions and surveys. The work was concluded with a document (pdf) that can serve as a guideline to members of the community in the ongoing effort to find commonalities and strategic visions for further OAV-work in GÉANT. All terms can also be found at OAV Terminology.

OAV Architectures

OAV architecture analysis has been conducted using the TM Forum Open Digital Architecture (ODA) functional blocks as a reference point. The main idea behind ODA is that of decoupling and integration of components which enables independent choice of solutions for each component, while at the same time maintaining a unified overall approach that supports the full end-to-end service lifecycle (including interoperability). The high-level ODA functional architecture maps the main components by their capabilities into the ODA function blocks. Read more....


Quantum Technology

WP6 Task 1 is currently reviewing network support requirements for Quantum Technology and quantum key distribution/exchange (QKD/QKE) technology in order to consider its applicability as a service for use by the GÉANT community. Quantum Technology page provides regular updates about this work and lists information about upcoming events.
