Business Proposal

(NIM)
November 13, 2019
Overview
Leverage the deliverables of VHA Inventory project for:

● “Ongoing” or “New” Business opportunities

● Building a library of pluggable modules as Inventory offerings

Problem Statement

Lack of re-usable “Poor” quality Restricted offerings,

Inventory modules documentation time to think beyond

Costing based on gut- “Generic” rather than Insufficient Networking

Objective:
Improve our INVaaS offerings by
Reducing “Time to Market”, at “Less Cost”,
and “Quality” deliverables
 Both External and Internal
stakeholders will be the direct
beneficiaries of our “standardized”,
“modularized”, “tested”, “easy
deployable” service

Target audience Beneficiaries:

● Greenfield operators
● Running “projects”

● Solution Development team

● Pre-Deployment team
● Operations
Proposed deliverables
● DSDs, HLDs, LLDs of RAN, TX, IP-TX, Core
Design documentation
● Inter domain connectivity, DWDM hierarchy

Discovery Parser(s) ● Parsers for U2000, IP-TX/Core Router configs

● U2000, OSS-RC, other data sources

Data Extraction utility
● Support “Scheduling”, “Archiving”

● Modeling and Discovery of Virtual inventory

Vision

Streamline Parsers & Adapters Functional Testing Cost Tool update & Training

Complete the leftover work. Work with SD and PDU Test the functional use cases thoroughly, both inter Update the Service modules cost in Cost tool, and
to merge the functional and upgrade patches in LAB and intra domain connectivity scenarios. Validate the guide Pre-deployment team and Operations on the
environment. Test the inter-domain connectivity and Service topology view in EAI modules

Location Data Model & Discovery: The solution support
uni-directional integration with the Customer Site
management solution, so that site information can be
updated in Ericsson NIM solution
Design library: Detailed description (both high level and low
level) of Modeling and Discovery of various equipment types,
data sources, different data formats, of telecom network
domains covering RAN, Microwave, Wireless Core, NFVI,
Transmission

Design
Physical basket

Site Parser documents RAN 2/3/4G Modeling & Discovery: The solution
U2000 provides capability to discover RAN nodes, e.g.:
RAN parser 2G/3G/4G types, along with complete device
Equipment Templates: The solution supports hierarchy consisting of card types, ports and
modelling and metadata of multi interface from Huawei U2000
vendor/domain device-specific attributes. e.g.
vendor part number, card power Equipment
templates
consumption, vendor, model, part no, BOM ID U2000 Microwave Modeling & Discovery: The
(if applicable), serial numbers, s/w release, Deliverables Microwave solution provides capability to discover
frequency band, channel, polarization parser Microwave nodes, with details
configuration of those Nodes as present
in Huawei U2000

NFVI Modeling & Discovery: The solution

supports modelling, creating, relating, recording
and managing software defined networking or NFVI parser
NFV-based physical and logical networks, NFV
devices, and NFV configurations.
Optical Modeling & Discovery: The
solution provides the capability to
discover Optical nodes, with details
configuration of Nodes as present in
Huawei U2000
U2000
Transmission
parser Transmission Modeling & Discovery: The Solution
support the modelling and discovery of
U2000 Transmission devices to the granularity of racks,
DWDM shelves, chassis, card slots, sub slots, cards
parser
(including daughter cards), SFPs, and ports to
vendor equipment specification and
documentation including dependencies with
Huawei U2000 as the data source
Benefits
Once the deliverables are ready as a service, there will be huge reduction in
the Cost and Time in NIM proposals. The utility of NIM won’t just be limited
to as a Inventory store, rather Design and Planning teams will get directly
benefited. Other SDAP tools will also take benefit from such granular level of
Inventory in NIM

The Team & Stakeholders
Proposed structure of the team to finish the work. Task will become Operations
much easier if same resources are made available, as worked in VHA
project

02 | Testers
Life Cycle Management

Implement
01 SDAP CI team to prepare the Physical and Logical
Network Inventory modules as pluggable
components., followed by Testing, Configuration,
Deploy & Operate Readiness and Training
For any customer request, CI team to
configure, customize & deploy the modules.
02
SDAP NIM Operations to do L2/L3 support

LCM
03
In case of any network side changes like upgrades,
patches, etc., any adaptations required in the
components will be done by SDAP NIM CI team.
