TelcoCloud 101

- What's TelcoCloud ?

It's a Cloud infrastructure that telecos can deploy its services and applications " IMS , RAN , Core " within cloud infra resources .

let's go back a little bit , Telcocloud was based on Virtualization technology and in the Era of 5G , Telcocloud is mainly depend on Hyprid Cloud Arch , VNF Tchnology , SD-WAN .

- TelcoCloud benefits :-

With high data rates through Mobile generations and continuous increase in Applications and for sure the demand of Automations , Telcocloud became a mendatory to cope with the data high rates and Telco Applications , similar to Cloud IT needs but with different Applications , Architecture and for sure Business Case .

- NFVI Architecture :

1- First Layer is the " physical layer " : Servers , Network and Storage .

2- Second Layer is " Virtual Layer " : converting the physical resources to Virtual Rsources using the Hypervisor .

3- Third Layer is the " VNFs " that host the Telco Apps , machines on top of the hardware networking infrastructure. VNFs include routers, switches, SD-WAN, firewalls

4- Fourth Layer is " MANO Orchestration " : NFV management and network , it's a Framework that provides the core operation functionality in TelcoCloud Network .

5- Last Layer is " OSS/BSS " (Operation Support System/Business Support System) : OSS deals with network management, fault management, configuration management and service management. BSS deals with customer management, product management and order management .

- MANO Orchestration Arhcitecture :-

1- NFV Orchestrator : it's a componenet which you can do onboarding for VNFs and operate it's Life cycle management and Validate NFVI resource requests .

2- VNF Manager : Control Life cycle management for VNF instance even if setting up or maintainning , we can describe it as " VNFs Controller " .

3- Virtual Infrastructure Manager : We can manage NFVI Compute, Storage , Network throug it .
