Overview
Designing and provisioning a new network for service providers and operators has always been a fairly slow and static affair. Customers have to carefully discuss business needs with their service providers, explain every detail of their network and plan way ahead for what they need. The process is long and cumbersome, and provisioning can take not just a few weeks, but sometimes months.
Service providers and operators are looking for a different way to design the network and dynamically activate and orchestrate customers’ end-to-end network services via an on demand network service creation and fulfillment platform.
Service providers want to empower customers to create their own network design, letting them stitch multiple VNFs, PNFs and cloud services into a single network solution and get it provisioned on the fly. Customers are looking for a dynamic and fast paced approach to get their services delivered.Graphically designing a network service is key to ensuring business outcomes can be achieved. This is because the intent of the network solution can be depicted. In this white paper, we will focus on the reasons why Verizon’s Service Designer application is an important module in current BSS and OSS architecture, and how it helps to solve some of the unforeseen challenges we have in the world of physical, virtual and cloud environments.
