Current OSS Landscape OSS Problem Statement
OSS’s have limited or no technology abstraction Technology abstraction simplifies multi-vendor, multi-layer,
multi-technology management
Difficult and time consuming to innovate Cost prohibitive to experiment with new types of services or
customization of existing services
Provisioned Networks Limited Programmability and Service Elasticity
Managed Network Functions Limited Automation

SDN Management Orchestration Model
In the Southbound direction (SDNC NE/EMS) Abstracts networking technology/protocol details from NetOS/SDN Controller
Provides vendor-independent programmability of network elements
In the Northbound direction (SDNC Apps) Provides network/service programmability (APIs) by software applications
Abstracts networking technology details from the applications

Reinventing the OSS
Network and DC are converging into a singular resource pool
Elasticity previously only available in DCs is migrating to the networking space
Current OSSs not architected to deploy SDN technologies and NFV orchestration
Carrier-grade service requirements still need to be met
Service agility, service innovation as well as transformation of cost and operational models are drivers for change
Existing systems not flexible, service introduction can take months

Carrier Orchestration is Different!
Traditional orchestration (e.g. AWS CloudFormation) is focused on the data center.
26 Carrier Class Orchestration for SDN & NFV
Carrier SDN and NFV will be used to build carrier services across the network; orchestration must reflect additional requirements.
![Page 27: Network Automation PRESOSITE](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042706/577cc76f1a28aba711a0ed10/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Resource Acquisition, Assignment & Span
• In a data center, resources are all equivalent.
• In an NFV network location matters
• Span extends beyond data center to MEN and WAN

Lifecycle and Work Flow
• Critical to tie into higher-level systems
• Could be OSS/BSS systems
• Could be network applications
• Programmable and transactional behavior on service activation
• Reliability and status monitoring

Service Elasticity and Orchestrator Scalability
• Services built using NFV must have VNF components that are elastic / horizontally scalable
• Can’t be simple conversions of software to run on a server instead of an appliance

Orchestrator Multi-Tenancy
• Wikipedia: “Multi-tenancy refers to a principle in software architecture where a single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple client-organizations (tenants)”
• Different from “virtualization where components are abstracted enabling each customer application to appear to run on a separate physical machine.”
• Orchestrator multi-tenancy simplifies system design and integration into higher level systems.

Summary of Carrier Class Orchestration
Aspect Data Center Carrier Class
Resource Acquisition and Assignment
All resources are equivalent
Location, latency and bandwidth matter
Span of Control Within data center Across metro area
Lifecycle and Work Flow
Controlled directly by user
Tied into higher level systems
Service Assurance and Resilience
Coarse status monitoring
Transactional behavior and fine status monitoring
Elasticity, Scalability and Multi-tenancy
Current resources are elastic
VNFs must be elastic and orchestrator multi-tenant
