Virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) Operations Manager

Ciena’s virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) Operations Manager is built on the idea that launching a network into service and managing key elements requires an eye toward operational simplicity—without losing the ability to provide access to diagnostic detail when required.

Role of the vBNG Operations Manager

The Operations Manager is responsible for network configuration, launch, and monitoring of the vBNG, including the lifecycle management of control planes and user planes. It provides centralized visibility of the status of control planes and user planes including the collection and display of critical operational information and statistics with the ability to drill down to detail when required. Capable of  managing single or multi-cluster vBNG deployments, the Operations Manager is easy to navigate and open architected for easy integration.

Features and benefits

  1. Automated network deployment with pre-defined helm charts, deployment files, and associated configuration files

  2. Unified view of control planes and user planes across the entire network

  3. Single pane of glass for management of control planes and user planes

  4. Lifecycle management of single or multi-cluster environments

  5. Easy-to-read dashboards of critical metrics with ability to drill down to detail when needed

  6. Generates custom charts based on selected metrics
