The ongoing transformation in the telecom industry is primarily driven by Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), which is resulting in enormous innovative solutions, service agility as well as savings in operational expenses.
TCS offers its considerable expertise, gained while working for Tier 1 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Telecom Service Providers, software & semiconductor vendors and contributing to open source, portfolio of tools & frameworks for verification & certification, as well as professional services.
By partnering with TCS, companies can take advantage of:
- A vendor-agnostic approach to solutions which promotes reusability
- Deep domain expertise
- Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) based automation
- Experience in several Open Source Communities
- Strategic collaboration with Industry Leaders in SDN & NFV
A few of the Offerings are:
TCS's NFV Concerto™
A framework for orchestration, verification and certification of VNF for compliance, performance, scale and resiliency.
Key Features:
- Modularity: The open, modular, vendor-agnostic framework allows the onboarding and certification of any third-party VNFs without the need to customize them.
- Future-ready: The solution is based on micro-services architecture. It is container-ready and can be deployed as a simple virtual machine or next-generation light-weight containers.
- Compliance with industry standards: TCS NFV Concerto™ ensures adherence to the globally applicable guidelines of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and provides vendor neutral orchestration and VNF management functions
SDN Inspector
This enabler is aimed at implementing a SDN Test Harness that can enable customer to attain accelerated time to market for SDN product suite (Controller, Nodes).
Key Features:
- Web-based multi-user, multi-DUT integrated test framework
- Infrastructure automation/ integration to Puppet and Chef framework
- Verification of SDN e2e use cases (leveraging North bound REST APIs of SDN Controllers)
- Integrated (using HL-TAPI) to traffic generators, e.g. IXIA
TOSCA/Yang IDE
As the industry adopts NFV and SDN, there will be a proliferation of TOSCA and YANG models and the associated yaml and tosca template files will need to be created, updated and modified for service definition, network function definition, forwarding rules, service chains, etc. TCS NextGen Team has built a TOSCA & YANG Integrated Development Environment and this solution parses and validates the both TOSCA and YANG files and converts the YANG modules to Java/Python stubs.
Key Features:
- Presents an easy to use UI for creation/update of TOSCA and YANG template files
- Meta-model driven architecture based on TOSCA model (version 1.0) and YANG model (RFC 6020)
- Enables reuse of existing TOSCA & YANG templates (Service, Node, Relationship, Object models)
- Repository for importing and exporting of TOSCA & YANG templates
- Provides a tree interface for viewing & browsing the information model
Cloud RAN
This solution is the implementation of LTE baseband processing on x86 processors, which is optimized to provide required improvement on cloud platform.
Key Features:
- Cloud Based LTE eNodeB implementation using SDRs
- Modular Architecture – all modules running as Virtual Machines (VMs), connected with distributed low latency queue
- Fully scalable eNodeB
- Real time performance
- Ability to run more than one eNodeB on same cloud
- Load balancing and sharing of compute intensive modules
MEC Platform
A highly distributed ecosystem with computing capabilities, in close proximity of Radio Access Network. It can be used to deploy bandwidth hungry and low latency applications.
Key Features:
- Cloud enabled platform.
- European Telecom Standards Institute (ETSI) compliant architecture.
- Well defined interfaces to expose access controlled Radio Network information for applications in real-time.
- Rich user interface for the administrator to manage services, applications and their association with customers.
- SOA architecture enables easy deployment and maintainability of the platform.
