ZTE's NFV Technology Overview - The TECS Platform
ZTE's Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technology, known as Tulip Elastic Cloud System (TECS), is a comprehensive solution designed to meet the evolving needs of modern telecommunications networks. TECS integrates various components and technologies to provide a robust, scalable, and efficient platform for network operators.
Key Features and Components
1.) Virtualization Platform:
• Based on open-source projects like OpenStack, KVM, Ceph, and OVS.
• Manages and schedules general hardware facilities through open and unified interfaces.
• Enhances performance, reliability, and security to meet carrier-class requirements.
2.) Container Platform:
• Utilizes Docker and Kubernetes technologies.
• Provides lightweight virtualized container cloud solutions.
• Ensures high reliability, performance, and low latency, transforming telecom network architecture from Cloud Ready to Cloud Native.
3.) Distributed Cloud Storage:
• Utilizes Ceph technologies
• Designed for high performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Extends functions and optimizes performance for actual production environments.
• Suitable for large storage resource pools, virtualized data centers, and multimedia video data storage.
4.) Cloud Network Platform:
• Includes software-defined networking controllers, high-performance virtual bridges, and converged elastic networking services.
• Meets the differentiated needs of cloud data networks.
5.) Cloud Management Platform:
• A unified platform for managing multiple data centers.
• Simplifies the management and operation of cloud data centers.
• Provides IaaS/PaaS services based on the cloud environment of multiple data centers.
Benefits of TECS
• Carrier-Class Reliability:
• TECS is designed with a reliable architecture for each layer of NFV.
• Considers disaster tolerance, backup restoration, and security for the entire system.
• Efficient Integration:
• ZTE offers a complete integration solution, including NFVI, VIM, PIM, NFVO, and VNF.
• Provides integration procedures, interconnection methods, and optimization ideas for different scenarios.
• Cost Reduction:
• Utilizes various integration tools like automatic design, deployment, testing, health checks, and one-key upgrades.
• Helps operators decrease both CAPEX and OPEX.
• Accelerated Service Launch:
• Pre-verification of scenarios and implementation in commercial environments.
• Decreases risks and accelerates the online launch of services.
ZTE's TECS is a powerful NFV solution that supports the digital transformation of telecom networks, enabling operators to deliver innovative services efficiently and reliably.
