This Edge Reference Architecture considers two instances of Operations Management and Analytics in the Central Core data center, one associated with the Core Management Domain and another with all the Edge Management Domains.
Telco Edge Analytics Logical Architecture
Each of the Operations Management and Analytics instances has one instance each of vROPs, vRLI, and vRNI. For very large-scale edge deployments, more Operations Management and Analytics instances may be needed.
With the Operations Management and Analytics components being placed in the central Core data center, it is important to limit the distance between the central site and the edge site to ensure that the latency is below 150 ms RTT. For large-scale deployments, remote collector components of vRNI, vRLI, or vROps may be needed to address collection end-point scalability and to facilitate bulk data export.
