Dell Telecom Infrastructure Blocks for Red Hat serves two key functions: server and server hardware management, and cloud management.
Managing servers and server hardware
The infrastructure cloud provides server management. The infrastructure cloud hosts Telecom Infrastructure Automation Suite, which provides the user interfaces and APIs that are used for discovering server hardware, installing firmware, and deploying and managing Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform clouds.
Managing clouds
A management cloud provides Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes interfaces to deploy and manage workload clouds. A management cloud is the equivalent of a hub cluster in Red Hat nomenclature.
Workload clouds run a customer's workloads for cloud-native network functions in the 5G core network and radio access network (RAN), and run centralized units (CUs) and distributed units (DUs) in the RAN. A workload cloud is the equivalent of a spoke cluster in Red Hat nomenclature.
See Telecom Infrastructure Blocks for Red Hat architectural overview for an illustration of how the servers and clouds interact and work together.
