Autonomous Network Operations framework
10Telecom communication service providers (CSPs) face a myriad of networking challenges including exponential growth and network complexity, always on and always performant connectivity, lower operational costs, and energy efficiency.
In this video, Manisha Gupta, Group Product Manager at Google Cloud Networking, discusses the challenges faced and introduces Google Cloud's Autonomous Network Operations framework, which enables CSP to leverage AI to enhance service reliability, proactively detect and resolve network issues, and turn fragmented data into value. With Google Cloud AI, AI infrastructure, and expertise, CSPs can accelerate time to value, improve operational costs, and leverage expertise for predictable and high-performing networks.
Manisha will also describe the three core framework principles and how it addresses the challenges and enables the shift towards autonomous operations, including:
Data as the foundation: The importance of a robust network data fabric through ingesting, normalizing, and correlating data from various sources using Google Cloud's data and analytics products such as Spanner and BigQuery.
Proactive intelligence: How AI and machine learning, integrated with technologies like Spanner, Vertex AI, and Gemini models, create a network digital twin for predictive maintenance, simulations, and root cause analysis.
Declarative operations: The concept of configuration as data, where desired network states are declared and reconciled using Kubernetes-based control loops, leading to reduced errors, increased deployment speed, and auditability.
Google Cloud's framework offers a comprehensive cloud-native architecture that brings Google's experience in running a planet-scale network to its telecom partners. Get an overview into the framework, delving into the 3 core principles with data as the foundation, proactive Intelligence, and declarative, intent-based operations.
