Industry Sector

Telco and carrier networksTelco and carrier networks, enterprise networks, private networks, multi-access networks, edge cloud and verticals

Business driver

Emerging technologies such as 5G (vRAN, Core) and associated Edge Services requires Cloud instance deployed at the edge of the provider network to support latency need.

Without Edge Cloud, above said services cannot be enabled.

Business use cases

For Example:

  
1. Customer Edge deployable at Customer premises such as home, enterprises, offices to support Edge services such as SD-WAN
  
2. Customer Edge deployable at Public buildings such as Stadiums, Smart cities, etc., to support edge applications for example - Video Analytics, AI/ML based detection, etc.,
  
3. Edge Cloud deployable at Cell tower to support RAN related workload
  
4. Edge Cloud deployable at Central offices ranging from one rack to multiple racks

Business Cost - Initial Build

For Example:

  
1. Edge Cloud deployable at Central offices with single rack should be less than 150K $

Business Cost - Operational

For Example:

  
1. Edge Cloud deployable at Central offices with single rack should be less than 100K $ as operating cost per year.
  
2. In-place upgrade of the Edge cloud should be supported without impacting the availability of the edge applications

Operational need

For Example:

Edge Solution should have role based access controls, Single Pane of Glass control, administrative and User Based GUIs to manage all network cloud family based blueprints.

The automation should also support zero touch provisioning and management tools to keep operational cost lower

Security need

For Example:

The solution should have granular access control and should support periodic scanning

Regulations

For Example:

The Edge cloud solution should meet all the industry regulations of   data privacy, telco standards (NEBS), etc.,

Other restrictions

Consider the power restrictions of specific location in the design (example - Customer premise)

Additional details

The Edge Cloud Solution should be deployable across the globe and should be able to support more than 10,000 locations
