This document focuses on how catalog driven DevOps principles can achieve a high degree of re-use, cost reduction, and agility. It further demonstrates that this approach complements the industry shift to virtualization and advanced orchestration, and provides a low-risk, gradual path toward agility.
Product Description
This paper investigates the service management layer challenge that accompanies our journey to more flexible, agile networks, including huge investments in SDN and cloudified NFV. In it, we establish that “MANO” and network orchestration are critical but will, when complete, solve only one part of the agility problem. We then turn to a highly efficient method of service operations, based on a high degree of re-use, and show a) how it complements virtualization and b) allows for a low-risk path to a unified, agile future.
This paper draws on work from many published Appledore Research framework documents.
