Future State

This Catalyst spotlights key opportunities for the Digital Operations Center of the Future

The Future State Catalyst presents a model of composable, dynamic and agile operations that can support Carrier Virtualization today and adapt to future requirements as the industry continues to evolve.

It builds on two past award-winning Catalysts: “CloudNFV” (2014) and “Dynamic APIs” (2015)

Future State

Future State demonstrates…

How people in various operational roles across silos, organizational boundaries, and layers of IT interact in a “Game of Actors”, which links their individual activity in a dynamic chain of events. Instead of a rigid flowchart, tasks are woven together based on context to align with business goals.

The Catalyst leverages concepts from TMF’s ZOOM, Open Digital APIs,

DSRA, eTOM, Value Fabric and the new Digital Platform Reference

Architecture (DPRA).

Future State

IT enabling the Composable Digital Business

Future State presents a Universal Interface, which abstracts all of the technical complexity of working with NFV and SDN-based services. It provides a declarative, or “intent-based”, model for rapidly designing and testing new network services, offering them as products in a catalog, and managing the lifecycle service orchestration of the services, including service assurance and disaster recovery.

The Actors collaborate, through the Universal Interface to design, test and

deploy a Network Service requiring no code and no manual integration

Use-Case: Securing internet connectivity using vCPE

Actors: representing Design, Validation, Operations and Customer

Scenarios:

1. New Service (completed)

2. Detect & Repair a Service (tabled for future work)

3. Unsatisfied Customer (tabled for future work)

4. Disaster Recovery (partially completed)
