Nokia’s Orchestration Center Transforms Telecommunications
The need for seamless orchestration of end-to-end services across diverse domains, vendors, and technologies has never been more critical. Nokia has risen to the challenge with its cutting-edge solution – the Nokia Orchestration Center.
Nokia’s Orchestration Center is a pivotal player in shaping the future of telecommunications. With its modular design, AI-driven capabilities, and integration into the Digital Operations Center, it unlocks a new era of efficiency, agility, and innovation for service providers navigating the complexities of the 5G landscape.
Automation for the 5G Era
Nokia Orchestration Center stands at the forefront of automating end-to-end services, including the intricate 5G slice-based services. This cloud-native, microservices-based module operates seamlessly within Nokia’s Digital Operations Center, enabling round-trip operations automation.
Market-Driven Agility
As service providers strive for agility in the 5G era, Orchestration Center facilitates B2B partnerships and supports Service Level Agreements (SLAs) designed into services during commercial negotiations. This ensures market-facing agility, aligning with the dynamic requirements of vertical industrial players.
Virtualization and Containerization
Service providers are transitioning to cloud and virtualization techniques to control costs and meet growing capacity demands. Orchestration Center addresses the resulting increase in complexity, offering automation at scale for virtualized and containerized infrastructure.
Modules: The Building Blocks of Orchestration
Orchestration Center employs a modular concept with user/role-based interfaces, enhancing visibility, design, and deployment capabilities. Let’s explore some key modules:
DesignHub
DesignHub empowers users to create service compositions from reusable building blocks, fostering efficient service design and deployment. It ensures a streamlined process for publishing service designs for consumption.
OrderHub
OrderHub provides comprehensive visibility and management of in-progress, service-modifiable orders through an intuitive portal and fully amendable templates.
IntelligenceHub
Equipped with advanced root-cause analysis, automated capacity management, and machine-learning algorithms, IntelligenceHub provides crucial insights for automation, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Service Orchestration
The core sub-module, Service Orchestration, utilizes AI and ML to automate and optimize service delivery, ensuring a seamless alignment with business intent.
Service Design, Catalog, and Domain Adaptation
Collectively, these modules facilitate service modeling, cataloging, and domain adaptation, ensuring abstracted views of underlying network domains for streamlined orchestration and operation.
Unified Inventory
Unified Inventory serves as a shared logical resource and service inventory, closing the loop between service delivery and assurance processes ensuring immediate monitoring of services post-instantiation.
Benefits and Features of Nokia Orchestration Center
Orchestration Center comes packed with features and benefits that redefine the telecommunications landscape:
Market-Driven Services: Design and deploy market-driven services with a single-pane-of-glass view, including 5G slice-based services.
Rapid Adaptation: Orchestration Center provides an open toolset for customers and partners, aligning with industry standards like TM Forum, 3GPP, and ETSI.
Reduced Time-to-Value: Reuse service components and leverage AI and ML for optimized end-to-end service delivery, reducing time-to-value.
Nokia’s Digital Operations Center
The Orchestration Center seamlessly integrates into Nokia’s award-winning Digital Operations Center, forming a modular solution alongside the Assurance Center. This combination offers the ability to manage the entire service lifecycle, from design to delivery and assurance, at scale and speed.
Cloud-Native Architecture
Built on a fully cloud-native platform, the Digital Operations Center supports multi-vendor, multi-domain, and multi-technology environments across any cloud deployment model. It adheres to industry standards, including TMF, ETSI, MEF, 3GPP, BBF, ONF, and IETF.
End-to-End Service Lifecycle Management
The primary role of the Digital Operations Center within the CSP eco-system is to manage the full end-to-end service lifecycle, abstract the complexity of the underlying network, and provide interfaces for seamless communication between commercial/business support systems and network layer systems.
By closing the loop between orchestration and assurance processes, the Digital Operations Center intelligently manages the service lifecycle, optimizing infrastructure resources, limiting overprovisioning, and enabling automation and optimization.
