Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for evaluating a deployment of a telecommunications network for a particular geographic area, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method is performed through a user interface (UI). The method receives a selection to simulate performance of a particular deployment of the access network, the particular deployment including at least (1) configurations for multiple access nodes for providing end-users of the telecommunications network access to the telecommunications network and (2) configurations for multiple transport links that connect the multiple access nodes to the telecommunications network. The method displays a visualization of the particular deployment of the telecommunications network based on the simulated performance, the visualization including (1) representations of multiple components of the telecommunications network including the multiple access nodes, (2) representations of the multiple transport links, (3) indications of performance by the multiple components and the multiple transport links, and (4) a set of selectable UI items for modifying configurations of the multiple access nodes and multiple transport links.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that generating a host profile for deploying a first network function. the method uses a virtual machine configuration operator in a remote data center to configure one or more virtual machines implementing a workload cluster to perform the first network function based on the host profile. The method uses the virtual machine configuration operator to configure one or more virtual machines implementing a management cluster based on the host profile. The workload cluster is managed by the management cluster.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining compute resource deployments in a telecommunications network for a particular geographic region, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network, the compute resources for consumption by a set of non-telephony applications that are deployed in the telecommunications network to provide multiple services for multiplicities of UEs (user equipment) connected to the telecommunications network in the particular geographic region. The method determines population density of UEs (user equipment) within the particular geographic region. For each non-telephony application in the set of non-telephony applications, the method uses the determined population density of UEs to identify (1) an amount of compute resources required for the non-telephony application to provide one or more respective services in the multiple services to a first multiple UEs, and (2) a set of locations in a non-core network at which to deploy the identified amount of compute resources for consumption by the non-telephony application. The method simulates performance of the telecommunications network for the particular geographic region based on the identified amounts and sets of locations of compute resources for each non-telephony application in the set of non-telephony applications. When a set of performance metrics resulting from simulating performance of the telecommunications network meet a set of performance metric thresholds specified for the telecommunications network, the method uses the identified amounts and sets of locations of compute resources for the set of non-telephony applications to define compute resource deployments for the telecommunications network.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for evaluating a deployment of a telecommunications network for a particular geographic area, the telecommunications network including an access first network, an edge second network, and a core third network. The method is performed through a user interface (UI). The method receives a selection to simulate performance of a particular deployment of compute resources for a telecommunications network, the compute resources for consumption by a set of non-telephony applications deployed in the telecommunications network. The method di splays a visualization of the telecommunications network based on the simulated performance, the visualization including (1) representations of multiple datacenters to which compute resources are allocated, (2) representations of multiple connections between the multiple datacenters, (3) indications of compute resource utilization for each datacenter in the multiple datacenters to which compute resources are allocated, and (4) a set of selectable UI items for modifying the particular deployment of compute resources.

Abstract: A method of deploying a virtual network function of a network service in a data center having a cloud management server running a cloud computing management software to provision virtual infrastructure resources of the data center to at least one tenant, includes generating at least first and second API calls to the cloud computing management software in response to external commands received at the data center to deploy a virtual network function, and executing at least the first and second API calls by the cloud computing management software to deploy the virtual network function. The cloud computing management software creates at least one virtual machine by executing the first API call and at least one virtual disk by executing the second API call.

Abstract: Examples for managing virtual infrastructure resources in cloud environments can include (1) instantiating an orchestration node for managing local control planes at multiple clouds, (2) instantiating first and second local control planes at different respective clouds, the first and second local control planes interfacing with different respective virtualized infrastructure managers (“VIMs”), where the first and second local control planes establish secure communication with the orchestration node, and (3) deploying, by the orchestration node, services to the first and second local control planes. Further, the first and second local control planes can cause the respective VIMs to manage the services at the different respective clouds.

Abstract: An orchestrator process can efficiently distribute images of virtual network functions (“VNFs”) in a telco network. The images can be accompanied by metadata that describes VNF requirements, such as computing requirements and functional characteristics. Based on the image metadata and location of a virtual infrastructure manager (“VIM”), the orchestrator can select a storage location and deploy the image to the storage location. The VIM can instantiate a corresponding VNF by retrieving the image. The orchestrator can track the storage location and cause the VIM to delete the image if the image is not used for a threshold period of time.
