MantisNet's Tawon CVF (Containerized Visibility Fabric) provides platform teams with full visibility into containerized environments, with a specific ability to address the visibility challenges facing 5G mobile network operators. Working closely with key partner (and leading telco platform and solution provider) Red Hat, MantisNet continues to prove how establishing real-time visibility solutions for 5G telco networks can be accomplished by leveraging solutions built on cloud-native principles.
The latest joint solution brief with Red Hat explains how Tawon CVF can be leveraged as either a certified container image, or certified kubernetes operator on Red Hat OpenShift platforms to provide 5G real-time visibility. With both companies fully embracing cloud-native principles and architectures, this partnership provides an opportunity for telcos to deploy solutions that are fit for cloud-native 5G stand alone environments, rather than deploy legacy solutions that are shoe-horned in.
The result is a visibility solution that takes into account the very real challenges facing 5G network platform teams and operators, such as:
- Controlling and monitoring microservice resource utilization as solutions scale
- Managing dynamic virtual resources and tracking the associate components
- Dealing with multi-NF vendor environments
- The need to closely monitor 5G system calls, as well as the actual 5G infrastructure itself
Vendor-agnostic, end-to-end 5G visibility
As discussed in previous posts, the underpinning focus of Tawon CVF is embracing the realities of cloud-native environments, as opposed to trying to square the circle via packet replication for visibility into containerized resources. Leveraging the messaging that makes up distributed computing environments, minimizing resource tax on production resources, and natively handling encryption are all examples of how Tawon CVF was built for cloud-native environments. In addition to these fundamental principles, Tawon can also be leveraged across any network function vendors present to provide visibility into these increasingly complex and deep containerized networks, all from a single solution.
The partnership with Red Hat is a great example of how Tawon CVF can be deployed on systems that are built on similar guiding principles- systems that are meant to be cloud-native, and deliver the most value to the teams that leverage them.
