This article is a continuation of a series of posts about our project named Portfolio Architectures. A previous post, Portfolio Architecture Examples: Healthcare Collection, begins with a project overview, introduction, and examples of tooling and workshops available for the project.  You may want to refer back to that post to gain insight into the background of Portfolio Architectures before reading further.

Infrastructure Collection

The collection featured today is centered around infrastructure architectures. There are currently seven architectures in this collection and we'll provide a short overview of each, leaving the in-depth exploration as an exercise for the reader.

In each of these architecture overviews, you'll find a table of contents outlining the technologies used, several example schematic diagrams with descriptions, and a link in the last section to open the diagrams directly into the online tooling in your browser.

Cloud to Edge

This architecture covers the use case of providing a consistent infrastructure experience from cloud to edge and enabling modern containerized applications at edge.

(Note: this project is a new architecture and currently in progress, so sharing one of the schematic architecture diagrams and you can monitor this project for updates as it progresses to completion.) Cloud to Edge

This use case is bringing cloud-like capabilities to the edge locations.

Data Center to Edge

This architecture covers the use case around data center to edge where the energy (utility) infrastructure companies operate across a vast geographical area that connects the upstream drilling operations with downstream fuel processing and delivery to customers. These companies need to monitor the condition of pipelines and other infrastructure for operational safety and optimization.

Data Center to Edge

The use case is bringing computing closer to the edge by monitoring for potential issues with gas pipelines (edge).

Hybrid Multicloud Management With GitOps

This architecture provides a stable and simple container platform that's secure, supports a hybrid environment, and is able to run on a multiple-cloud solution for its developers and engineers. It uses an automated infrastructure as code approach that manages versioning and enabling deployments according to the supplied configurations.

Hybrid Multicloud Management With GitOps
The use case is managing hybrid and multicloud cluster lifecycles, secure configurations, and credentials. It also uses GitOps for infrastructure as code approach, cross-cluster governance, and application lifecycle management.

SCADA Interface Modernization

This Portfolio Architecture targets energy providers in North America that need to be compliant with NERC regulations. In order to achieve this, they decide to modernize the interfaces between their business applications and their SCADA systems. Also, this is for better consumption of information that can be used in combination with AI/ML and decision management tools to better address customer needs.

SCADA Interface Modernization

The use case is providing interfaces with SCADA systems that are compliant with NERC regulations, creating different layers of API gateways to protect business services depending on the network zones.

Telco 5G Core: On-Premise

5G is the latest evolution of wireless mobile technology that aims to enable the delivery of highly immersive experiences for people and ultra-reliable, low-latency communication between devices. At the heart of each 5G network lies the 5G Core (5GC).
Telco 5G Core: On-Premise

This portfolio architecture conceives 5G Core as a set of disaggregated, cloud-native applications that communicate internally and externally over well-defined standard interfaces. Each 5GC component is implemented as a container-based application and is referred to as a cloud-native network function (CNF).

The use case is ultra-reliable, immersive experiences for people and objects when and where it matters most.

Telco 5G With Hyperscalers

5G is the latest evolution of wireless mobile technology. In this portfolio architecture, we’ll discuss a 5G solution built with open source technologies at the core that can work across any hyperscaler.
Telco 5G With Hyperscalers
The use case is building an adaptable, on-demand infrastructure service for 5G Core that can deliver across diverse use cases with minimal CAPEX and OPEX.

Telco Radio Access Networks

5G is the latest evolution of wireless mobile technology. It can deliver a number of services from the network edge:

Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)

5G enhances data speeds and experiences with new radio capabilities like mmWave frequency spectrum for higher bandwidth allocation and theoretical throughput up to 20Gbps.

Ultra-Reliable, Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC)

5G supports vertical industry requirements, including sub-millisecond latency with less than 1 lost packet in 105 packets.

Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC)

5G supports cost-efficient and robust connection for up to 1 million mMTC, NB-IOT, and LTE-M devices per square kilometer without network overloading.

Radio Access Network Introduction

The use case is based on the fact that the digital transformation of mobile networks is accelerating and cloudification is increasing. Following the core network, radio access network (RAN) solutions are now taking advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.
