Software-Defined Networks with new era Technologies: A revolution in networking

Introduction to Kodanda Rami Reddy Manukonda Kodanda Rami Reddy Manukonda is an illustrious personality in the telecom sector and has stepped up the ladder from a programmer to an architect specializing in telecom applications. These were significant accomplishments in his career especially concerning the improvement and transformation of billing systems that are critical in handling large volumes of data and financial transactions required in the telecommunication industry.

Manukonda in his leadership role has been used in fine-tuning telecom billing systems. These have been in the context of implementing the best practices in an organization to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and improving the efficiency of billing. More recently, he has incorporated data analytics including machine learning into these systems to solve problems such as bill shock and errors. The systems that continue to be developed under his supervision are effective in two aspects, namely in error forecast and control and minimizing the customer service calls and thus enhancing customer satisfaction. He has also adopted agility in his project development, which in turn has facilitated the development of rapid prototypes and other forms of extensive testing that ensure that telecom billing applications are altered and changed to suit the changing regulations and needs of the customers.

Manukonda has worked on several of the kind of impact projects such as Business Fiber (ABF), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Managed Internet Services (MIS), Switched Ethernet on Demand, as well as Private Line services. These have not only improved services but have also improved billing procedures to a 10 % decrease in bill mistakes and service ratings boosting up to 20% of the NPS. Its cost reduction imperatives are another; Coxville has operationalized automation, which enhances process flow, decreases portfolio capture/billing time, and limits the requirement for manual adjustments and customer support. This efficiency has also dealt with the problems of revenue loss thereby facilitating accurate billing for all the services that are offered. 

Software-Defined Networks with new era Technologies: A revolution in networking

Introduction

As technology rapidly progresses, newer networks are finding it difficult to address large, complex, and efficient structures within the traditional specific networking frameworks. The principles of Software Defined Networks (SDN) and their architecture that implements the concept of control plane and data plane separation are changing the approach to network management. New Era Technologies like 5G, Edge Computing, and Artificial Intelligence are on the rise and SDNs are establishing as the basis of all new generation networking solutions, which laid the foundation for rapidly faster, efficient, and scalable solutions.

This blog explores how SDNs in partnership with these emerging trends are redesigning network solutions. Furthermore, use cases and diagrams of real-world implementation of SDN architecture with New Era Technologies will be incorporated.

What is Software Defined Networking?

Software Defined Networking SDN is a networking concept in which the configuration of the network is controlled by different software applications. SDN, in its most fundamental form, involves the decoupling of an intelligent plane, which decides where to direct data traffic, from a forwarding plane that directs the data traffic to the correct location.

The SDN architecture is comprised of three primary layers: The SDN architecture is comprised of three primary layers:

SDN and New Era Technologies: In this case, you can see that it is possible to have a perfect synergy built upon mutual trust and understanding in a business relationship.1. SDN and 5G Networks

• The need for software-defined networking THEN is derived from the fact that 5G technology will bring about ultra-fast and low latency communication only if supported by a network architecture that is flexible and scalable. SDN plays an integral role in 5G networks by: SDN plays an integral role in 5G networks by:
• Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation: Due to dynamism in traffic flow especially in high-density urban areas, SDN is capable of dynamically assigning bandwidths depending on the amount of traffic required at a particular time.
• Network Slicing: The involved SDN facilitates the slicing of the physical network into virtual networks where every virtual network is tailored to support certain applications such as the IoT, video streaming, or self-driving cars
