TOSCA Model Registry The orchestrator is accompanied with a model registry that compiles and saves the TOSCA based models into a service catalog database. It also saves the TOSCA model archive that include its aritifacts into a repository in the cloud. This makes the contents of the model .CSAR archives available to the orchestrator during […]
TOSCA Based Orchestrator The Model-Driven Lifecycle Manager replaces the Service Orchestrator as well as the controllers in ONAP with pure TOSCA-based orchestrator. The TOSCA meta-model defines abstractions that are fully aligned with its mission as service orchestration language. It introduces service topologies as first-class abstractions, which are modeled as graphs that contain the components (“nodes”) that […]
Management Integration Fabric Genie in a Network (GIN)™ Management Integration Fabric consists mostly of components that makes the platform cloud native and provides a supporting foundation upon which other custom network management components can be deployed. The other layers in the platform also depend on the management fabric for common functionality concerning security, logging, tracing, etc. Service […]
Network Integration Fabric Genie in a Network (GIN)™ Network Integration Fabric consolidated a lot of the network orchestration specification and logic into the life cycle manager. Therefore, what is left in the network integration fabric is a very thin layer consisting of a set of southbound adapters and northbound collectors. Southbound Adapters – provide the connection to send data […]
Management Services Genie in a Network (GIN)™ have some basic set of management applications. The platform provides data collection and exposure for the following basic set: A. Fault Management – tools continuously scan a network for problems, then analyze the situation and provide users with the solution they need to implement. Depending on the issue, the fault management […]
Use Cases Genie in a Network (GIN)™ platform comes with a number of use cases implemented to demo how to deploy various network functions/services. A. ORAN Service Model – demonstrates TOSCA based O-RAN deployments, focusing on the following: Cloud infrastructure deployments, including at the Edge Deployment of all O-RAN components, including SMO & RICs. CU, DU, […]
Quality Assurance & Testing Genie in a Network (GIN)™ platform relies on automation to ensure that every release cycle is accompanied by a comprehensive level of regression testing to ensure system stability. The automation is built on utilizing Jenkins for CI/CD and Robot framework for acceptance testing. One of the key benefits of automation is immediate […]
Architecture Genie in a Network (GIN)™ is a TOSCA-based service life cycle and FCAPS management platform that addresses the challenges of handling increased need for automation, being cloud native, and dealing with lifecycle management of network functions, management functions, and infrastructure on which it runs. The platform allows you to build a comprehensive model of […]
Overview Genie in a Network (GIN)™ is a next-generation network management and analytics platform that has been expressly designed to address the shortcomings of legacy network management approaches. Network operators have historically built management systems based on vendor-specific tools, dedicated element management systems, and special-purpose controllers, each of which manages only a small subset of the […]
Quality Assurance CCI delivered a comprehensive suite of automation for the WAN Aggregation project that became the foundation of a WiFi’s modern automated testing capability. The automated testing platform, built on Robot testing framework and utilizing Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests, reduced the 50+ man-week effort to just 10 weeks. The comprehensive test coverage afforded […]
