ENTERPRISE VERTICAL ARCHITECTURE

Telecommunications

Carrier-grade cloud for 5G core, BSS/OSS modernization, edge compute, and network function virtualization — with sub-millisecond SLA tooling.

Telecom infrastructure stack

From RAN edge to core data center — unified operations, zero hand-off gaps.

Document management (DMS)
Network design diagrams versioned alongside change ticketsRegulatory filing archives with retention policiesTechnical specification vaults (3GPP, IETF RFCs)Customer contract DMS with legal-hold supportAutomated test-evidence packages for RA audits
Hardware & storage
NUMA-aware bare-metal for latency-sensitive NFsNVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) shared storage for stateful VNFsObject storage for CDN origin and media assetsWORM storage for lawful intercept archivesGPU nodes for AI-based anomaly detection (network traffic)
Virtual machines & containers
SR-IOV passthrough NICs for carrier-grade packet processingDPDK-accelerated vRouter and vFirewallKubernetes CNI: Calico + Multus for multiple vNIC VMsVNF onboarding via ETSI MANO / OSMLive VM migration with <1ms heartbeat drift
Databases
Cassandra for subscriber profile (HSS/UDM) at 10M+ rows/sRedis Cluster for session state and AAA cachingPostgreSQL for MVNO billing and event chargingClickHouse for CDR analytics and fraud detectionTimescaleDB for network KPI time-series
Messaging & streaming
Kafka for CDR/xDR streaming (>1M events/s)NATS for lightweight signaling between microservice NFsRabbitMQ for OSS workflow orchestrationApache Pulsar for geo-distributed multi-region topologiesDead-letter routing for billing error recovery
Networking: IP, mTLS, DNS, LB
IPAM across IPv4 + IPv6 dual-stack RAN/core segmentsmTLS for SBI (Service-Based Interface) N-interface calls (5GC)DNS with ENUM/NAPTR for VoIP number resolutionECMP L3 load balancing for UPF trafficBGP/MPLS peering to IXPs and transit providersSD-WAN with per-slice QoS enforcement

5G core & network slicing

Orchestrate network slices with per-slice SLA, billing, and isolation guarantees.

  • ✓AMF/SMF/UPF containerized deployment with Helm charts
  • ✓Network slice lifecycle management via NSMF APIs
  • ✓Per-slice RBAC and tenant isolation at the data plane
  • ✓Closed-loop automation: anomaly → remediation in <30 s
  • ✓SLA breach alerting with automatic capacity scale-out

Primary Economic Drivers
  • $Migrating BSS/OSS from on-premises bare metal to carrier-grade cloud VMs can remove proprietary hardware refresh cycles from the budget.
  • $Kubernetes-based VNF deployment with Helm reduces NF onboarding time from 6 weeks to under 3 days, accelerating new revenue service launch.
  • $CDR/xDR Kafka pipelines can replace legacy mediation gear and consolidate fraud detection and revenue assurance on shared infrastructure.
  • $SR-IOV and DPDK virtual routers can replace dedicated vFirewall and vIDS appliances at regional points of presence.
