Across Objectives
Design
a future-proof service orchestration framework built upon iterative deep infrastructure visibility, unsupervised secure reasoning via AI, and self-tunning zero-touch capabilities, acting upon massive spontaneous events originating from across the end-to-end geo-distributed cloud continuum.
Design & Implement
a service deployment & orchestration framework empowered by an ensemble of highly distributed domain orchestrator instances across the various edge sites, orchestrated in an end-to-end fashion – by a logically centralized cloud-managed multi-domain orchestrator, through an integration fabric of standardized interfaces.
Design & Implement
an “ultra-sensing” open end-to-end telemetry infrastructure, featuring zero-touch telemetry reporting and collection at the speed of the underlying hardware, along with standardized telemetry reports and visualization mechanisms.
Develop
an “ultra-instinct” unsupervised artificial intelligence stratum that will turn deep end-to-end telemetry data into automated and proactive actionable decisions to empower the control loops of the cross-domain orchestration platform in a fully-automated fashion.
Develop
a broad range of zero-touch operations as programmable “hooks” in response to events originating from raw infrastructure & telemetry data and/or produced intelligence, both translated into actionable decisions applied to the ACROSS orchestrator.
Design & Implement
security & trust mechanisms to vertically fortify the ACROSS orchestration platform, focusing on device integrity, secure data acquisition & dissemination, and secure AI against attacks (e.g., DDoS heavy hitters, adversarial attacks).
Design, Deployment & Validation
of test cases, that exercise the entire range of zero-touch operations across multiple geo-distributed vertical sectors over the ACROSS platform and real testbeds, while aligning each test case with realistic aspects of automation.
Maximise
the impact and adoption of ACROSS through relevant standardization and open-source activities that will render ACROSS an exemplar orchestration platform with true market potentials.
