3. “Observability of 5G Core via Open Telemetry” Demonstration

i2i Systems, Red Hat and Ddosify implemented and demonstrated the observability of the 5G Core stack easy and effective with the utilization of Open Telemetry (OTel) data derived from i2i’s 5G Cloud Native Network Functions (CNFs).

Our partnership provides valuable insights with efficient data collection. It is possible to quickly troubleshoot issues, optimize performance and enhance overall application reliability.

Key Takeaway/Value Propositions

• Efficient Performance Monitoring: Realtime CNF performance data harvested by OTel.
• Easy Fault Management and Troubleshooting: Realtime Root Cause Analysis with Real Time CNF Data
• Easy Integration to Observability Tools: Simple Time Series Data Ingestion/Export.
• Flexibility and Language Support: Multiple Programming Language Support for Instrumentation.
• Centralized Management for Observability: Leveraging ACM Hub Cluster Concept for OSS Centralization.
• Standardization and Interoperability: OTel is CNCF project for making observability opensource.

4. “Orchestration & Management of 5G Core CNFs” Demonstration

i2i Systems, Nearby Computing and NextNet implemented and demonstrated how to easily deploy, manage and orchestrate 5G Core. Our partnership aims to revolutionize the landscape of 5G deployment.

The solution provided by both companies stands out as exceptionally versatile, capable of deployment across various environments including hyperscaler infrastructure, private clouds, and on-premises setups. Its scalability is a key advantage, offering customers the flexibility to start with a lightweight solution and seamlessly expand to support a multitude of connected devices.

Furthermore, the focus on streamlined Day-0 deployment and automated lifecycle management underscores a commitment to efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By significantly reducing operational time and minimizing expenses, businesses can potentially realize substantial savings.

In summary, the combination of flexibility, scalability, efficient deployment, and automated management makes this solution highly attractive to a wide range of customers, regardless of their infrastructure requirements.

i2i Systems’ 5G Core Network on Tech Mahindra’s Multi-Mode Companion Cloud with Red Hat OpenShift on AWS can be used to create a redundant 5G core network to help drive high-speed, low-latency connectivity. Abot, Rebaca’s cloud-native continuous test assurance and analysis solution for 4G, 5G and ORAN, can execute 3GPP-compliant test scenarios and analyse real-time KPIs from different layers of the network.

“By combining the power of Red Hat OpenShift as a trusted foundation for hybrid cloud applications with Tech Mahindra’s leading services and cloud orchestration tooling, service providers will be able to more quickly and easily support a full spectrum of network use cases on combinations of on-premises, private and public cloud scenarios.” said Honoré LaBourdette, acting senior vice president, Global Telco and vice president, Telco, Media and Entertainment Partner Ecosystem, Red Hat.

“Our Multi-Mode Companion Cloud solution, seamlessly integrated with Red Hat OpenShift, is poised to revolutionize the landscape. This groundbreaking solution empowers service providers with a streamlined approach to managing the entire lifecycle of network workloads on hybrid cloud.” said Manish Mangal, Global Business Head, Network Services & 5G, Tech Mahindra.
