Parallel Wireless Reimagines Big Data Analytics and NFV Orchestration

Parallel Wireless, the in end-to-end 2G, 3G, and 4G Open RAN solutions announced a collaboration on Big Data virtualized Analytics (vAnalytics)with Robin Systems, the leading container-based Application-Defined Infrastructure (ADI) software provider, and Incorta,the intelligent analytics platform that bypasses data modeling to deliver real-time insights straight from operational data. As a result of this collaboration, global Communication Service Providers (CSPs)will be able to manage their Big Data analytics under the same Network Function Virtualization (NFV) orchestration umbrellaand bring real-time visibility into their networks to improve operational efficiency and reduce cost while improving end user experience.

With 5G on the horizon, cellular network load will consist of people and IoT trafficgenerating massive volumes of data and requiring real-time network orchestration.

The world’s first real-time, Analytics for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G,NFV-based platform will utilize these industry innovations:

• Parallel Wireless HetNet Gateway (HNG) that incorporates numerous VNFs such as SON, Security Gateway (SeGW), ePDG and operates on numerous virtualization platforms. SON VNF provides network data and makes necessary real-time network adjustments for end users, things, and processes running over cellular networks, especially at the edge. Being one of the functionalities on fully virtualized HNG, SON will enable self-optimization and seamless mobility across any G, any haul, any slice, any service. By incorporating Robin Systems container orchestration and Incorta’s Analytics-as-a-Service (AaaS) with Parallel Wireless HNG, CSPs will have the ability to containerize Big Data pools as virtualized microservices.
• Robin Systems Cloud Platform to deliver a highly scalable and flexible application-defined virtualizedinfrastructure powered by container technology to enable a simplified, agile & on-demand deployment and complete application lifecycle management of Big Data pools to dynamically orchestrate any type of data: network, end user, customer, etc.Containers are critical infrastructure forCSPs.  With containers being a simpler form of virtualization, this data-as-a microservice-driven approach allows the deployment of multiple microservices per machine without compromising performance and availability, and boosts performance through Robin’s Application-to-Spindle quality of service guarantee.Robin packsmore data into a single set of physical storage resources taking a lot fewer system resources anddelivering operational efficiency and savings with unprecedented level of intelligence to global mobile network operators (MNOs).
• Incorta’s Version 3.0 queries more than 500 percent over previous versions, improving what was already the fastest data-to-analytics platform in the world. But performance is only a small part of Incorta’s value. Query performance aside, the Incorta platform deploys in days and consumes new data within in minutes allowing for almost instant access to information. These capabilities combined with ease of use make Incortathe leading next generation analytics platform.Powered by the industry’s first Direct Data MappingTM engine, MNOscan now go from transactional data directly to business analytics at speeds unheard of in the current analytics environment as it reduces query and reporting times to make more informed network decisions faster.
