Designed for the performance and manageability required by tier-1 operators, it supports auto-scaling and configuration based on open APIs. The virtual edition, ready to deploy in ETSI OSM Rel FOUR, is a complex VNF comprising a scaling group with multiple worker servers, a balancer to expose a single point of usage, an in-memory session database, and a configuration server. A single VNF may scale to hundreds of thousands of requests per second. It implements, among others, 3GPP SWx, SWm, Gx and Sy interfaces off-the-shelf. In addition, custom behaviors may be easily implemented when needed using standard Javascript. |
Italtel
|
|
Italtel's NetMatch-S Cloud Inside (NM-S CI) is a fully featured SBC that can be used in all the possible network architectures allowing the implementation of several interconnection scenarios in all-IP networks.
Italtel designed a new software architecture according to both “cloud native” patterns and the ETSI Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) standard, providing a “future proof” implementation. In particular, the intense effort to comply with NFV is proven by the implementation of the standard REST interface on the VNF (ETSI NFV-SOL002) and by the interoperability tests carried out with OpenSourceMANO and other MANO solutions during the NFV Plugtests events organised by ETSI. The VNF internal architecture, based on microservices, is composed by five interworking VNF Components (VNFCs): an Operation and Maintenance module, a states database used to store the information of the active signalling sessions, an efficient front-end load balancer, that receives the network traffic and distributes it to the component managing the control plane and to the Border Gateway function, engaged when audio or media transcoding is required. The property of elasticity, essential for a cloud-based design, is guaranteed by the scaling capability of the VNF even triggered by automatic mechanisms. The main characteristics of NetMatch-S Cloud Inside, as SBC suitable for Interconnection, Access and Enterprise scenarios are:
