摘要/Abstract

摘要：

随着信息和通信技术的发展，灵活多变的业务需求给传统大型电信业务支撑系统带来了诸多挑战。应用场景化、服务标准化、技术组件化和资源共享化正在成为电信业务支撑系统架构演进的共识。提出了一种电信业务功能虚拟化（business function virtualization，BFV）架构，以云原生、微服务、容器、DevOps等技术为基础，引入标准化的IT虚拟网元、单元化的设计编排器、微服务管理框架和多平面弹性计算控制器，使 IT 系统具备单元化部署和分布式云部署能力，满足系统稳定扩展与平滑演进的要求，实现 IT 系统轻量交付和业务敏捷支撑，可作为下一代电信业务支撑系统的参考架构。

关键词: 业务功能虚拟化, 单元化设计编排, 弹性计算控制器, 单元化部署

Abstract:

With the development of information and communication technologies, traditional telecom business support systems (BSS) are facing the challenge of agilely meeting the flexible needs from business.Application scenarization, service standardization, technology componentization and resource sharing have gradually become the consensual features among the evolution of telecom BSS architectures.A business function virtualization (BFV)-based BSS architecture, which is based on cloud-native, micro-services, containers, and DevOps technologies, was proposed.By embedding four components into the architecture, including standardized virtual network functions, modular design orchestrator, micro-service management framework, and multi-plane elastic computing controller, the system is able to deploy unitized system and distributed cloud.Therefore, the requirements of flexible telecom business development and frequent evolution of the system could be satisfied by the proposed BFV-based BSS architecture.In other words, the lightweight delivery of IT technologies and agile business support could be fulfilled by using the proposed BFV-based BSS architecture, and the proposed architecture will eventually become the standard architecture of next generation telecom BSS.

Key words: business function virtualization, modular design orchestration, elastic computing controller, unitized deployment
