Technology Category	Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing Networks & Connectivity - 5G
Applicable Industries	Telecommunications
Applicable Functions	Business Operation
Use Cases	Edge Computing & Edge Intelligence
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services System Integration
Challenge	As a large American Carrier Service Provider (CSP) prepared their network to support the 5G cloud edge, they realized during the planning stage that the use of traditional dedicated COTs servers would no longer support the robust nature of their 5G edge network. The transactions at the 5G edge required extreme agility on-demand, faster deployment of services and network resources, elasticity to scale traffic up and down, and automated visibility for service assurance. The CSP needed a solution that could provide these capabilities while ensuring robustness and visibility. Read More
About Customer	The customer in this case study is a large American Carrier Service Provider (CSP). They are in the process of preparing their network to support the 5G cloud edge. The CSP is looking for a solution that can provide extreme agility on-demand, faster deployment of services and network resources, and elasticity to scale traffic up and down. They also require automated visibility for service assurance. The CSP is committed to ensuring robustness and visibility in their 5G edge network. Read More
Solution	To support robustness and ensure visibility, the CSP turned to NETSCOUT® award-winning virtual RAN Flow Broker and InfiniStreamNG™ solution. To establish agility on-demand at the edge, the NETSCOUT team worked with this group to build a virtual RAN solution that fully integrated into their virtual orchestration architecture. After integration, the team relocated the RAN cell trace elements to the 5G cloud edge. This built-in virtual solution was also equipped with redundancy to secure the availability of smart data feeds for critical edge applications for the benefit of uninterrupted service assurance at the edge.
