1 Introduction
This document provides information on how to install Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director (OCNADD) and its microservices.
1.1 Overview
Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director (OCNADD) is a specialized Network Data Broker (NDB) in 5G Network Architecture.
OCNADD receives the network traffic data from various sources, 5G network functions (NFs), Non-5G NFs, or third-party producers. It performs various rules on the received data and then securely sends it to the subscribed third-party consumers (third-party consumer applications or platforms).
OCNADD ensures data security, low latency, and redundancy while collecting and processing the data. It enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to correlate and transform the acquired data as per their data feed configuration to create comprehensive dashboards and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Hence, it achieves meaningful insights about all functions in 5G Network Architecture. This information is used for providing good quality of service, reducing downtime, easing network scalability, and minimising losses. The OCNADD generated data is beneficial for monitoring and troubleshooting issues during a network failure. The OCNADD also provides GUI that enables users to create, edit and delete the datafeeds. For more information about OCNADD architecture and features, see Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director User Guide.
