Proud participants of the AINET-ANTILLAS program
We're Helping the EU digitally transform Europe
Tomorrow's Europe needs intelligent and secure network automation
The European AINET-ANTILLAS research program is helping Europe go digital faster. Together we're developing new ways to make networks smarter and safer—especially at the edge of the network. This will make it easier to deliver high-performance services to people and businesses.
The AINET-ANTILLAS program sets the foundation
Fully autonomous network operation
Cyber-resilient, intelligent network automation
High-performance network edge or cloud services
Eficode leads the R&D work on orchestration
As in numerous other European research initiatives, our team of DevOps specialists are eager to share their skills and expertise. In this program, we collaborate with several consortium partners on different use cases, playing a key role in defining and building the service orchestration solution.
Challenges when DESIGNING a service
Designing complex services is hard because they have many parts. Many teams need to work together to ensure all the parts work together. Also, the service needs to meet the—sometimes strict—needs of the people who use it.
How we solve this
The brand new tool our team developed for this, Eficode SERVO, makes service design easier. Its simple interface makes it easy for teams to work together AND to ensure the service meets the needs of the people who use it.
Challenges when AUTOMATING a service
When the parts of your services come from different vendors and run on different cloud services, it is difficult to automate the deployment and configuration in a way that meets the required SLAs and QoS/QoE requirements.
How we solve this
Eficode SERVO helps automate the process of deploying a service. It does this by using templates and procedures provided by component vendors to create and run configurations of each component and interface. This makes the deployment process faster and more reliable.
Challenges when OPERATING a service
You must constantly monitor complex services and the hosting environments to ensure they meet SLAs and users' expectations. Especially with critical services, such as V2X and tactical networks, where any disruption can have serious consequences.
How we solve this
With Eficode SERVO, operating complex services becomes more effective, through closed-loop monitoring and automatic actions to adapt to dynamic changes. Our team is also working to expand these capabilities with ML/AI.
More about the AINET-ANTILLAS project
Service architectures are becoming so much more complex. And beyond a certain point, they become too difficult to manage effectively. Orchestration simplifies this process by automating the deployment and management of services.
The project is also about finding new ways to use AI to improve cloud computing and networks. For example: AI can be used to improve the performance and reliability of cloud-based applications, and to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats more quickly.
The AINET-ANTILLAS project is a collaboration between a number of European companies, universities, and research institutes. The project is expected to be completed in 2024.
