OpenNESS offers cloud and IOT developers an easy-to-use toolkit to develop and deploy applications at the network edge or on-premise edge locations. By abstracting out complex networking technology, OpenNESS exposes standards-based APIs from 3GPP and ETSI Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) industry group to application developers. Using this software toolkit, applications can steer data traffic intended for the edge at 5G latencies. This is a very critical capability as it not only abstracts the various network access terminations from the developers, but enables seamless movement of data and traffic from the devices to the edge and to the cloud and back through an intelligent, scalable, and flexible network. Other features include a microservices based architecture enabling easy integration of new APIs, support for heterogeneous platforms (FPGA, AI Accelerators), and support for scalable container and VM orchestration.Future use cases are a combination of analytics, media and visual cloud capabilities and networking. Hence it is important for OpenNESS to integrate with analytics and inferencing frameworks, such as OpenVINO, Media SDK, and visual cloud software optimizations, to deliver various types of media workloads in the most efficient and effective manner. We believe it is important for OpenNESS to be cloud-agnostic, so that framework will provide plugins to various cloud service provider frameworks.
