Exploring IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation
ICP4NA enables the automation of different network operations for Telco cloud platforms using AI and automation frameworks. As a result, cloud service providers (CSPs) can transform their networks. The main goal is to provide zero-touch operations for the underlying platform and network operations to reduce OPEX and deliver services faster. ICP4NA allows for the automation and virtualization of business support services and operation services. In addition, ICP4NA enables automating and optimizing network operations and network component monitoring and management.
Figure 7.10 shows the logical architecture of ICP4NA. The core capabilities of ICP4NA are described as follows:
- Pattern recognition: Discover hidden patterns and trends to continuously fine-tune network operations and performance. These patterns help to identify intrusions, vulnerabilities, and threats.
- Operation: Automate network and service designs, deployments...
