Affirmed UnityCloud is the industry’s first cloud native solution that is built on an open, web-scale architecture. This characteristic allows Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to build an innovative 5GC network, converge multiple networks into one unified network without being locked into a proprietary platform, and monetize revenue generating services. Affirmed UnityCloud also includes a unique PaaS that provides a robust, open-source architecture. This architecture features an industry-leading cloud ecosystem of applications to address everything from container life cycle management (Kubernetes, Helm) and database services (MongoDB) to network monitoring (Envoy, Jaeger, Prometheus). It also consists of a cloud native operations and policy manager (OPM) that automates and creates policies and launches dashboards. These functions provide operators with complete control of their network. UnityCloud supports a seamless transition to 5G by integrating legacy network services—including wireline services—to create an advanced, open 5GC architecture that leverages leading cloud-based technologies alongside Affirmed UnityCloud’s industry-leading NFVi platform and microservices-based, cloud native functions (CNFs).
