With Samsung vDU, you can discover and monitor the RAN sites.

The discovery and monitoring of the underlying infrastructure components of the vDU are done through a combination of network management protocols, software-defined networking technologies, and network function virtualization (NFV) techniques. The vDUs are discovered dynamically and a complete topology diagram is built displaying the connectivity to CU and DU. This is done by using VMware Telco Cloud Automation and mapping the configuration information, interfacing with Samsung USM REST APIs.

VMware vRealize Operations is the key component in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance solution that is used for monitoring and performing root- cause analysis for failures in a vDU. A virtualized network function is measured on the Fault Management (FM) and Performance Management (PM) metrics that are collected constantly through VMware vRealize Operations. These measurements facilitate the closed- loop automation and remediation feature integrated with VMware Telco Cloud Automation to detect anomalies and correct issues in case of network failures.
