Adapting B/OSS to Software Telco World Andriy Zhylenko, CTO PortaOne, Inc. V0.6

B/OSS in Software Telco World Change of view for “telco” and “B/OSS” Change in the functionality Change in the operations process

What does re-definition of “telco” mean for B/OSS? Part 1: Change of view What does re-definition of “telco” mean for B/OSS?

A new view of telco Telco as a set of data Portable across HW platform Stored in B/OSS

Telco as a collection of apps SDN controller apps NFV appliances Legacy apps All controlled by B/OSS

Why app portfolio is so important The only real competetive differentiator between telcos

Apps: Evolving portfolio Constant improvement Rapid deployment of new apps Automated service activation

Apps: Multi-Source Flexibility in app choice Different vendors

Apps: Monetization Usage or subscription charges Fair usage policy Real-time charging Overdraft protection

App Portfolio Manager B/OSS has to make the portfolio: Comprehensive and rapidly evolving Multi-source Revenue generating

Part 2: Functionality change The new functionality demanded from B/OSS

The path to B+OSS

Programming the services Net config vs. service config Who will do the translation?

Babylon tower of APIs Variety of “northbound” API Multi-vendor flexibility

Should B/OSS be a NFV app? Scalability Reliability Cannot be migrated fully (or at least not to the same cloud)

Case study: PortaOne Move to private cloud 300+ carriers

Dealing with legacy Conversion of existing customer data Supporting the migration process Co-existing with legacy or specialized HW platforms

B+OSS with Telco Cloud Automated service activation and management Network configuration based on the “Service” “Multi-lingual”

Part 3: Operations Change The change required from humans, who develop and operate B/OSS

Admins in software telco Rapid service roll-out Stability while making changes to the network New breed of engineers: DevOps

B+OSS: Human factor Agile development process to support fast service roll-out Continuous integration to ensure quality Advanced configuration management

B+OSS for Software Telco New architecture to support rapid service delivery Extended integration work with multiple vendors Agile development approach Well worth the efforts!
