MAT is an automation framework, developed by Iquall Networks, oriented to large telecommunication networks.
The main MAT goal is to generate an agile work environment oriented to transform the networks in dynamic ones as SND and NFV requires, using DevOps tools and concepts.
Particularly, MAT provides the possibility to follow and trace every process and task involved in any kind of operation over all the services running, at every moment.

Operational Principles
MAT is based on the concept of different hierarchies or orchestration layers which allows that a first layer, called BRAIN, manage and dispose high level information related to the customer and the service; while the lower layers handle information related to the implementation.
MAT versatility and modularity enable the generation of a lower orchestration layer – or network layer – dedicated to each different network environment and provide an abstraction layer to BRAIN who has a general visión of the automized services and decides which lower orchestrator will be in charge of deploying each task.

Internal Architechture
In the Northbound interface, each MAT instance is provided with RESTful APIs through which is possible to interact with the user portal or the service administration backend.
In the Southbound interface, MAT is able to interact with the network platforms through CLI, NETCONF/YANG, APIs, SQL or automation modules like Ansible, Puppet or Chef.


In summary
MAT brings the possibility to automize the deployment, configuration and operation tasks over all the operator network, supported in its scalability and modularity. In addition, MAT generate an abstraction layer over the platforms that brings security and agility, optimizing the network resources and setting the environment for the next generation challenges, as SDN, NFV and 5G
