Cloud Native Architecture

The next generation of technologies such as 5G, IoT, and Blockchain are synonymous with cloud native architecture. Equipped with horizontal scalability, geo-redundancy, and minimum MTTR, Cloud native architectures are opening a new realm of possibility with their one core functionality– Microservices.

Microservice is dedicated to a differentiated function of an application with its own resource model, APIs, and execution stack. These microservices are typically loosely coupled, and they often interact via APIs. Each of the microservices can be upgraded or scaled independently without affecting the whole application because they are agnostic to their cloud infrastructure. Packaged into containers (such as Docker), they can run in a highly distributed manner, maintaining independence and allocating resources based on the application needs.

With the pandemic forcing companies to go remote, Cloud native architecture is no longer just a competitive edge but a ‘must have’ to build a consistent experience across your network and be future-ready. Anuta Networks allows your organization to take full advantage of cloud computing by delivering cloud-native network automation with continuous integrations to keep abreast with changing needs.

According to Statistics, using Cloud Technologies over traditional servers can cut company IT Costs by up to 65%.

What are the Top-6 benefits of this technology?

Agility

A telco network must be fast to adapt to demand variations in 5G. Testing new features is risky in monolithic architecture, but with cloud-based architecture, new features can be tested on a specific microservice without exposing the whole application to bugs and roll back the changes if it doesn’t work out.

Resilience

Cloud native microservices are independently deployable; this provides better fault Isolation and more resilient applications. Each microservice is run on a separate process hence unexpected failure in one system will not bring down the whole platform or affect the service being delivered.

Flexibility

Administrators can package the ATOM platform to include only the necessary microservices as per the customer requirements or budget. The overall software footprint will be smaller, and risks will be minimized.

Scale

ATOM monitors the KPI of each microservice. Its kubernetes cluster management software auto-scales docker containers to match the demand, thus eliminating manual capacity planning.

Reduced Costs

A modular architecture with efficient resource utilization reduces costs. The cloud infrastructures are run on a Kubernetes cloud that executes several microservices in parallel with the pay-per-use model, subsequently deflating operational costs contrary to the ‘always-on’ monolithic architecture.

Extensibility / Pluggability

ATOM’s microservices architecture enables fast and easy integration with other enterprise software such as performance monitoring, VNF management, and Machine Learning/AI systems that can be deployed as Docker containers in no time.

What is unique about ATOM's implementation?

Centralized Control

ATOM agents (a stateless Docker container) in the local AWS zone allows administrators to manage only one server instance in the cloud through a single pane of glass. As data is consolidated into a clustered database, all applications and CI/CD tools can be managed to scale with a simple ATOM interface.

Modularity

Anuta ATOM comprises many docker containers, each providing a specific function such as device discovery, telemetry collection, network analytics, service assurance, reporting, etc; all managed by Kubernetes.

Geo Redundancy

Anuta provides cloud-managed orchestration for ATOM with geo-redundant design to balance the traffic for optimal performance and support thousands of branches or home offices with quick scalability.

High Performance

ATOM’s cloud-native architecture is validated to deliver high performance on a horizontal scale. One instance of ATOM can automate 2,000 workflows, each containing 50 pre-and-post checks within 3 hours. It also provisions up to 200,000 VPN services per hour, with 20 seconds per service latency.
