Boreas NFVI Manager

Globberry Boreas NFV Infrastructure Manager

Lightweight and functional telco cloud management
for OpenStack-based solutions

We Can Help You:

Provide a "single pane of glass" view of NFVI-resource utilization for management, design and planning, and operations teams

Provide a single point of reference through the regular discovery of NFVI management systems

Simplify and streamline decision-making by providing structured information in the proper context

Functional Overview

NFV Infrastructure Dashboard

Complete software-defined infrastructure view. Resource allocation, utilization, alarms, and trending in the context of data centers, VNFs, vendors and physical and logical resources.

Physical and Logical Inventory

Inventory of VNFs, network services, and VMs mapped to underlying data centers physical (racks, computes, network equipment ports) and logical (interfaces) resources.

Capacity Planning

Management of capacity demands and expansion planning. Forecasting and trend reporting based on historical allocation and utilization data.

Automated Discovery

Consolidated, reliable, and clean data via the automated discovery of both VNF and data center side data sources (VNFM, VNFO, VIM, FMS, NMS/EMS).
