What is OpenNaaS?
OpenNaaS is an open source platform for provisioning network resources and services. It allows the deployment and automated configuration of dynamic network infrastructures and defines a vendor-independent interface to access services provided by these resources.
On the one hand, OpenNaaS provides support for a variety of resources such as optical switches, routers, IP networks and BoD-domains, but, more importantly, it is easy to add new resources and their capabilities as an extension. On the other hand, OpenNaaS has recently incorporated the CNSMO flavour – Cyclone Network Services Manager and Orchestrator – which provides, configures and runs network services using the OpenNaaS concept and abstractions in overlay topologies and enables to deploy them as part of applications and application providers’ suite of services.
Why use OpenNaaS?
On top of OpenNaaS applications can be built easily and deployed dynamically, each having their own access and network resource usage patterns. Also, OpenNaaS-CNSMO enables the deployment, configuration and execution of network services (VPN, Firewalling, Load Balancer, etc) to be utilized in application deployments as a suite of services available for application service providers.
