VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure 1.0 introduces VMware Cloud Director together with NSX-T Data Center, which is the next-generation advanced networking stack. Telco Cloud Infrastructure explores the transformation of the CSP private cloud environments to next-generation networks by using multitenant design objectives.
Considering a Three-Pod design, the following diagram illustrates how the Resource Pod enables accelerated and normal workloads with the N-VDS Enhanced mode. A separate Edge Pod provides external connectivity with different options for scale and performance.
The diagram illustrates how a fully integrated VMware Cloud Director Provider VDC, Organization, Organization VDC, NSX-T segments, Tier-1 gateways can be used to provide a multitenant environment for deploying VNFs.
The Edge Pod hosts the NSX-T Edge nodes. The NSX Manager is the management component that CSPs can use to provision these networks. After the North-South and East-West networks are mapped to provider networks in VMware Cloud Director, tenants consume them for their workload connectivity requirements.
