CSPs continue to move away from closed and products built for a specific purpose to more open andagile solutions, updated at DevOps speed. This evolution to more flexible solutions encourages innovation, yet still meets carrier-grade hardened and security requirements. CSPs can potentially incurnew risks as solution elements are integrated independently.These blueprints are fully engineered reference architectures designed for network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) with container technologyand have been validated with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Ceph® Storage, andRed Hat Virtualization. These blueprints give CSPs the opportunity to easily move to a cloud-nativemodel, which allows for faster innovation.
- Accelerated time to market
- NFVI stack configurations are validated in collaboration with RedHat and automated with HPE toolkits. These configurations can be customized by HPE PointnextServices or an approved Red Hat or HPE system integrator as required.
- Leading design
- Built on HPE’s proven global expertise with NFVI deployments, the HPE Telco Blueprints with Red Hat OpenShift are based on HPE’s compute, storage, and network products.This reduces risk while increasing the CSP’s ability to compete.
- Simplicity
- They are simple to deploy, operate, support, scale, manage, and maintain. The HPEinfrastructure components are all NEBS-compliant.
