| Network eAcademyThe Network eAcademy (NeA) offers knowledge sharing and exchange between GÉANT, NRENs, and organisations and is intended to serve as a platform to discuss strategies, common use cases and ideas related to a variety of topics. One of our main focus areas are network and service orchestration, automation and virtualisation (OAV) in our GÉANT community (including an OAV maturity model, information on OAV terminology and OAV architectures). Applied OAV can be found as part of our OAV community portal and with the example of the SPA Service Provider Architecture. Another major focus area of NeA is the Network eAcademy Training Portal with on-demand training courses ranging from Network Automation to Quantum Technology.

| During our discussions with NRENs it became clear that there are OAV terms that are being used in different ways and in some cases with slightly different meaning and understanding. In order to have a common basis we decided to identify a list of relevant OAV terms and add a short definition with a reference link (source) for each term as well as an acronym table. Read more... |
