Parallel Wireless Reimagines Big Data Analytics and NFV Orchestration

NASHUA, N.H., Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Parallel Wireless, Inc., the leader in end-to-end 2G, 3G, and 4G Open RAN solutions announced today a collaboration on Big Data virtualized Analytics (vAnalytics) with Robin Systems, the leading container-based Application-Defined Infrastructure (ADI) software provider, and Incorta, the intelligent analytics platform that bypasses data modeling to deliver real-time insights straight from operational data. As a result of this collaboration, global Communication Service Providers (CSPs) will be able to manage their Big Data analytics under the same Network Function Virtualization (NFV) orchestration umbrella and bring real-time visibility into their networks to improve operational efficiency and reduce cost while improving end user experience.

With 5G on the horizon, cellular network load will consist of people and IoT traffic generating massive volumes of data and requiring real-time network orchestration.

The world's first real-time, vAnalytics for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, NFV-based platform will utilize these industry innovations:

    --  Parallel Wireless HetNet Gateway (HNG) that incorporates numerous VNFs
        such as SON, Security Gateway (SeGW), ePDG and operates on numerous
        virtualization platforms. SON VNF provides network data and makes
        necessary real-time network adjustments for end users, things, and
        processes running over cellular networks, especially at the edge. Being
        one of the functionalities on fully virtualized HNG, SON will enable
        self-optimization and seamless mobility across any G, any haul, any
        slice, any service. By incorporating Robin Systems container
        orchestration and Incorta's Analytics-as-a-Service (AaaS) with Parallel
        Wireless HNG, CSPs will have the ability to containerize Big Data pools
        as virtualized microservices.
    --  Robin Systems Cloud Platform to deliver a highly scalable and flexible
        application-defined virtualized infrastructure powered by container
        technology to enable a simplified, agile & on-demand deployment and
        complete application lifecycle management of Big Data pools to
        dynamically orchestrate any type of data: network, end user, customer,
        etc. Containers are critical infrastructure for CSPs.  With containers
        being a simpler form of virtualization, this data-as-a
        microservice-driven approach allows the deployment of multiple
        microservices per machine without compromising performance and
        availability, and boosts performance through Robin's
        Application-to-Spindle quality of service guarantee. Robin packs more
        data into a single set of physical storage resources taking a lot fewer
        system resources and delivering operational efficiency and savings with
        unprecedented level of intelligence to global mobile network operators
        (MNOs).
    --  Incorta's Version 3.0 queries more than 500 percent over previous
        versions, improving what was already the fastest data-to-analytics
        platform in the world. But performance is only a small part of Incorta's
        value. Query performance aside, the Incorta platform deploys in days and
        consumes new data within in minutes allowing for almost instant access
        to information. These capabilities combined with ease of use make
        Incorta the leading next generation analytics platform. Powered by the
        industry's first Direct Data Mapping(TM) engine, MNOs can now go from
        transactional data directly to business analytics at speeds unheard of
        in the current analytics environment as it reduces query and reporting
        times to make more informed network decisions faster.

Robin Systems, Premal Buch, CEO, said, "We are excited to bring Robin's robust platform to containerize this breakthrough vAnalytics solution. With Robin's highly scalable virtualized platform enabling Big Data lakes as micro-services, Incorta's ability to process data in seconds, and HetNet Gateway's intelligent SON VNF capabilities, MNOs now not only can get a real-time Analytics solution as a VNF for any type of traffic, including end user and IoT, but also automate any network decisions. This allows operators to unify their network infrastructure, reduce costs, and simplify deployments."

Incorta, Osama Elkady, CEO, said, "The modern business demands answers to their most pressing data questions in seconds. This is not a desire, it is a need. Waiting days or weeks for information stifles innovation and growth. By bringing no data modeling and true self-service approach to cellular networks analytics, global SPs benefit from immediate analytics access to improve their network visibility and eliminate time-consuming and consultant-intensive Extract Transform Load (ETL). This results in OPEX savings, increased profitability, and improved customer experience."

Parallel Wireless, Rajesh Mishra, founder, CTO, president, said, "Robin Systems and Incorta are well recognized for their innovation. Now, this collaboration will allow not only softwarization of analytics as a VNF, resulting in network automation for the service providers, but will also bring simplified BSS and OSS operations with overall TCO reduction while making today's and future networks more intelligent and profitable."
