This section explores the overall framework for the Telco Cloud Infrastructure platform architecture, including the key stakeholders, conceptual architecture environment, logical architecture, and components. The reference architecture design principles set the frame for the core and analytics-enabled designs of the Telco Cloud Infrastructure platform.
Key Stakeholders The reference architecture considers key stakeholders that are involved in the end-to-end service management, life cycle management, and operations.
Conceptual Architecture Cloud infrastructure-based computing is the next-generation standard in modernizing the CSP networks as they evolve to 5G architectures, services, and agile delivery. The shared infrastructure with complete softwarization of network functions and applications provide greater advantages in cost, performance, and agility.
Logical Architecture and Components The Telco Cloud Infrastructure platform implements the conceptual architecture that is outlined and defined at a high level through the logical building blocks and core components.
Telco Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Director Edition Components The Telco Cloud Infrastructure bundle contains essential building blocks to deploy the Telco Cloud Infrastructure platform to deploy and manage VNFs and traditional VMs, featuring releases of VMware solutions that are proven in production.
Design Principles This reference architecture is designed considering key principle elements such as Deployment, Networking, Workload acceleration, and Operational Intelligence.
