Project Scope
Our Network Cloud & Infrastructure (NC&I) group is readying support to launch the roll-out of 5G Services. These services will be deployed in each of the existing 12 National Data Centers (NDCs). The following services will be provided in support of this launch:
Engineering support
This effort is for the support of Core network (DST, DMZ, SLB, CORE) and services LTE & 5G. This includes an end-to-end process consisting of the design and implementation of call flows in each NDC, as well as integration testing and documentation.
• Call Flows
o IP/Service Call flows
Develop new end-to-end call flows for Services in three 12 datacenters and in the Cloud Network (D2)
Update/develop call flows for services with the new 5G element details in Existing data centers Requirements:
End-to-end call flows will be based on initial templates
Services include external content partner services as well as Our hosted services
Call flows are required per NDC/APN/Service/Function. (12 NDCs* approximately)
Each call flow will be detailed to include data such as specific server names, IP addresses and ports, routers, firewalls, load balancers, packet core elements.
Include Fail over mechanism
Include back haul to other data centers
