Ensemble delivers major new release for NFV MANO
Addresses real-world needs of Tier 1 operators: simplicity, ZTP and multi-layer security
• The Ensemble division of ADVA is launching a solution release of its Ensemble
NFV platform: Ensemble Orchestrator, Ensemble Director, Ensemble Connector
• The upgraded Ensemble suite now features powerful MANO capabilities, enabling
service providers to roll out secure virtualized services at scale, including:
• Zero touch provisioning (ZTP)
• Simplified management networking
• Multi-layer security
• Software management
• Service chain monitoring
• Design versus deployment

True multi-platform hardware support
• Multiple COTS suppliers – Dell, Lanner, Advantech, Lenovo, HPE, Supermicro
Open platform
• Multitude of onboarded VNFs
• Open, standard cloud components such as Linux, KVM, and OpenStack
Scalable software
• From small Intel Atom® servers, up to large Xeon-based blade servers
• Shrinks the footprint of the NFV infrastructure down to a single Intel Atom® core
• Upcoming support for ARM servers
Operational simplicity
• Zero touch provisioning: Empowers an operator to ship an unconfigured
COTS server to a customer site and commission it automatically
• Embedded cloud: Solves the problems of deploying OpenStack in the distributed telco
network
• LTE wireless support: Enables turn-up of sites that don’t yet have wireline connectivity, as
well as providing an economical means of resilient access
Telco-grade manageability
• Fault, performance, configuration, inventory and topology support for NFVI

Reducing complexity of everyday operations
Ensemble Director has distinct design and deployment phases, with these benefits:
1. Operators can get started quickly using pre-packaged designs, or engage Ensemble to
create custom designs
2. The design phase provides an abstract view of complex services as applications and
templates, simplifying integration into higher level OSS, BSS or portal systems
3. The deployment phase provides a simple framework for everyday deployment of services
at scale with less-trained staff
Result: ability to start deploying virtualized services at scale in a short time

1. Network OS is packaged with operator defaults
2. Golden image is mated by hardware provider with target COTS
3. COTS suppliers drop ship platform pre-loaded with Ensemble
Connector and Operator defaults to end customer
4. Customer site specific data is captured and a secret is returned
5. Power is applied and the secret entered; Ensemble Connector calls home,
authenticates
6. ZTP and orchestration deliver site-specific service configuration and
applications
No inventory, no truck roll, no time to revenue
