Hosted BP Intelligent Automation on Azure

Blue Planet’s intelligent automation portfolio consists of products that help Communication Service Providers (CSPs) automate their core operations processes ranging from Plan-To-Build (P2B), Order-To-Service (O2S), and Trouble-To-Resolve (T2R). We provide the flexibility for customers to deploy our automation software products using the traditional on-premise model or hosted on Microsoft Azure.

In the hosted model, our suite of automation products including BP Orchestration, BP Inventory, BP Route Optimization and Analysis, and BP Unified Assurance & Analytics are deployed on Azure. This deployment model benefits from the performance, security, and reliability levels that come with the underlying cloud infrastructure. Hosted BP Intelligent Automation on Azure allows our customers to realize automation time-to-value faster by tapping into the global presence of Microsoft's cloud infrastructure coupled with industry-leading network automation solutions from Blue Planet.

BP Service Management for Cloud Network Infrastructure on Azure

The shift from traditional physical network infrastructure to virtualized infrastructure, and now cloud-based network infrastructure necessitates new automation capabilities. Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are increasingly deploying containerized communication and network-centric workloads into public cloud infrastructure to deliver software-defined IT and network services to enterprises. The adoption of CNF (Cloud-native Network Function) workloads by CSPs as the foundation of their cloud network infrastructure requires seamless integration between Operations Support Systems (OSS) with the native container management platform from the cloud provider.

Blue Planet Service Management for Cloud Network Infrastructure on Azure is designed to provide CSPs with network automation capabilities for the new cloud-native infrastructure to support use cases like 5G Core (5GC), SD-WAN, and Edge Cloud. Our service management solution provides fulfillment, orchestration, and assurance capabilities through API-based integration with the underlying control functions of Microsoft Azure.
