Capacity Planning for Telecom Operation Support System Cloud Migration

Abstract

Currently, telecom operators are relying on cloud computing technologies to build a unified resource management platform. After the operation support system migrates to the cloud platform, the servers’ capacity planning is the key to ensure the performance of the system can meet customer’s requirements. We will do server capacity planning in this paper. This paper comes up with a method for capacity planning according to the features of telecom operation support system. On the one hand, considering that the system has different subsystems for various functions, we research the subsystems of operation support system separately; on the other hand, considering that system architecture is multi-layered, we research the system at web layer, application layer, data layer and storage layer, and do the capacity planning for each layer’s server. In the process of cloud migration, different subsystems and different layer of the system use different cloud computing technologies. We analyze different cloud computing technologies and put forward corresponding capacity planning methods.
