HPE launched a new Telco Core Automation offering built on its OSS technology and aimed at helping service providers to simplify multi-vendor, multi-generation operations.
The aim is to leverage AI-driven automation to improve service quality and agility.
HPE says that as service providers virtualize and cloudify network functions (NFs), it becomes more challenging to manage a constantly changing, increasingly diverse set of technologies. Each technology and vendor (Kubernetes, OpenStack, OpenShift, EKS, AKS, and others) has its own approach to managing workloads. Even different release versions of the same NF or underlaying cloud introduce more complexity.
The new HPE Telco Core Automation , which joins HPE Telco RAN Automation, offers pre-built orchestration and assurance to make rolling out and managing network functions easier. It marries intent-based automation and AI-based assurance, which were previously separate silos.
Highlights:
- NF lifecycle. Designed to support the NF lifecycle and monitor resources of any managed workload and key KPIs for each workload and the broader environment, automatically or manually trigger closed-loop actions, relocate virtualized and containerized workloads, restore/relocate workloads using event triggers, measure the workload and cluster resource usage over time.
- Resource management. Monitoring the resources consumption and trends to identify the busiest clusters and resource-hungry NFs and perform zero-touch scale in and scale out.
- Automatic remediation. Monitors key faults and KPIs for every workload and uses intent-based, AI/ML intelligence to detect deviations and automatically take the appropriate closed loop action.
- Capacity planning. Provides visibility into current/past/future resource needs for each NF or cluster.
