SONATA NFV: Agile Service Development and Orchestration in 5G Virtualized Networks
SONATA targets both the flexible programmability of software networks and the optimization of their deployments.
The project will support network function chaining and orchestration, make service platforms modular and easier to customize to the needs of different service providers, and introduce a specialized DevOps model for supporting developers.

Sonata Main Objectives
Reduce time-to-market of networked services
SONATA streamlines development with abstract programming models, SDK and a DevOps model that integrates operators, manufacturers and third-party developers.
Optimize resources and reduce costs of service deployment and operation
SONATA orchestrates complex services to connectivity, computing and storage resources, and automatically re-configures running services.
Accelerate industry adoption of software networks
SONATA supports the full service lifecycle: development, testing, orchestration, deployment, management and operations, and will define a roadmap for uptake of its results towards stakeholders' larger transition to SDN/NFV.
SONATA Value and Stakeholders
SONATA’s open source results will have a diverse impact on an expanding telecom sector, including operators, manufacturers and third-party developers:
- reduce time-to-market for networked services
- optimize network management, reducing OpEx
- increase reliability and QoS for 5G networks and deployed services
- decrease barrier of entry and empower third-party developers
