How would we ensure our customers have the ability to achieve a consolidated view of legacy and SDN based networks from a network management perspective?

​Hi Raj,
My insights at a very high level ,by taking a step back - The legacy system Network Overview has matured adequately to give a overall view of the NW and then drill down to specific. The NFV domain challenge for NW consolidated view needs to evolve from the legacy view indicating the increase in traffic and thereafter  the load balancing by spawning of virtual devices . This is linked with the view of performance management KPIs of the virtual functions and how the NW is performing from the VNF/VNFI and MANO perspective.

This is exactly the kind of question the Hybrid Infrastructure Platform team within the ZOOM project are trying to answer. Take a look at the first implementation guide they delivered.

Hi Raj,
this sounds like a perfect condition for StableNet^® . We already participated on several catalysts on the TM Forum, so our StableNet is exact in this position to manage, monitor, backup, restore, execute etc.. the SDN and the complete entire Network beyond.

And i attached the solution brief from INTEL about StableNet^® to this message.
Or feel free to contact me direct. kalkhof@infosim.net.
