Argela’s Virtualization and Orchestration Competence Center provides high technology & innovation-oriented, future-proof “Engineering Services” to both global-local technology companies and telecom operators with its Competence Centers implemented with its R&D and innovation-oriented know-how.
We collaborate and contribute closely with open source communities and Standardization Organizations (ETSI, 3GPP, TM Forum, MEF, etc.) in virtualization and orchestration technologies, which are important enablers of 5G and Beyond Networks, and we also use commercial products and solutions when necessary. In addition to professional engineering services, we carry out R&D, PoC, and application studies with our experienced and certified expert staff.
We provide "Virtualizatiın & Orchestration" Engineering Services both inside and outside the company with our competent and experienced staff holding international certificates on the subject.
In line with our company's technology Vision MAC Architecture, we carry out our pioneering work at the 5G Virtualization & Orchestration CoE Lab located in Istanbul and Ankara.
In Argela 5G CoE laboratories, ONAP under the open-source Linux Foundation and NFV reference architecture-targeted OSM (Open Source MANO) under ETSI are being constantly updated and tested. Further activities include preparing NS/VNF/CNF packages, PoC, and product developments. Relevant open source participation studies are carried out for the solutions to the identified problems.
The objectives of the project are to provide a completely open-source, virtual function-based cloud computing infrastructure and provide innovative cloud services to be offered to public and corporate users through the platform as IaaS and PaaS Solutions.
In the PoC project, the activities outlined below for OpenStack platform installation and related studies and expertise were carried out;
Many of our company's live products, which are operating in a monolithic structure, have been virtualized and made to work in Cloud Native environments, with our employees who have significant knowledge and experience in the transfer of monolithic or legacy applications to new and modern cloud-native environments in a microservice architecture.
Similarly, we provide similar services to other companies and projects where important units working in a monolithic structure have been virtualized. Within the scope of the ULAK Project, the OAM Server has been successfully migrated to the Kubernetes Container environment, which can operate distributed in multiple centers. In this context, the application server and database, which are completely monolithic, have been made horizontally expandable to work actively.
Argela carried out software development studies related to the installation, tuning, functional and performance tests of RHOSP (Red Hat OpenStack Platform) 12 platforms within the scope of Türk Telekom 5G and NFV & virtualization program
Test Automations
Experiences
Within the scope of this POC study, the activation, setting, registration to EPC and IKE network tunnel setup of legacy macro, and smallcell base station by ONAP have performed fully automatically, and smart operations are performed for the base station from the metrics collected after the process. The summary of operations with Macro Base Station and Cavium Small Cell is as follows.
The following PoC studies are carried out within the scope of orchestration operations with ONAP of SEBA, which is Argela's project to provide high-speed internet and similar services over fiber network without a vendor monopoly over whitebox devices;
