Resource Inventory

Comarch Communications transforms legacy network inventory into a real-time Active Network Inventory by continuously synchronizing data with live network resources, services, and operational processes. Legacy systems rely on manual updates, which quickly become outdated and inconsistent across OSS and BSS layers. This approach creates a reliable Single Source of Truth (SSOT) that reflects the actual network state at any moment. As a result, operators reduce provisioning errors, eliminate data inconsistencies, and accelerate service fulfillment with accurate, up-to-date inventory data.

Comarch Communications system provides End-to-End (E2E) visibility by unifying data from multiple vendors and domains into a single, consistent inventory layer. Unlike vendor-specific systems that are limited to their own network segments, Comarch Communications acts as a fully vendor-agnostic platform that consolidates physical, logical, and virtual resources.

This enables real-time visibility across RAN, transport, core, and IT domains, delivering true cross-domain observability in complex multi-vendor and O-RAN environments.

Comarch Communications tracks ephemeral VNFs and CNFs by continuously synchronizing with cloud orchestrators to maintain a real-time view of their lifecycle and dependencies. Built on a cloud-native architecture, the platform integrates with systems such as Kubernetes and OpenStack to automatically detect, update, and map virtual resources.

This ensures accurate visibility of how virtual network functions relate to underlying physical infrastructure, even as they dynamically scale up or down in Telco Cloud environments.

Comarch Communications ensures data accuracy by automating network discovery and continuously reconciling inventory data with the live network. The platform uses advanced Auto-Discovery to poll network elements, EMS/NMS systems, and SDN controllers, capturing real-time information about resources and topology.

It then runs automated reconciliation processes to detect and correct discrepancies between the inventory database and actual network state, eliminating manual errors and significantly reducing operational effort and OPEX.

Comarch Communications supports 5G Network Slicing by providing a slice-aware inventory that tracks and manages resources assigned to each network slice. The platform monitors how physical and virtual resources are allocated across slices such as eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC.

This ensures that slice resources are accurately reserved, isolated, and controlled, enabling strict SLA enforcement and reliable service delivery for enterprise customers.

Resource inventory enables network digital twins by providing real-time, accurate data that reflects the actual state of physical and virtual resources. This data forms a continuously updated model of the network, which is essential for building a reliable digital twin.

Comarch Communications delivers this capability by maintaining a unified, real-time view of network resources across domains, ensuring data consistency and accuracy. This allows the digital twin to mirror the live environment and support advanced simulations. As a result, engineering teams can perform predictive capacity planning, simulate “what-if” scenarios, and optimize network changes before applying them in the live environment.

Comarch Communications uses an advanced graph database architecture to efficiently manage complex 5G network topologies. Unlike traditional relational databases, a graph model is optimized for representing and querying multi-layered relationships between physical, logical, and virtual network resources.

This enables fast analysis of dependencies across layers, from fibers and devices to VPNs and services, supporting use cases such as rapid Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and dynamic pathfinding.

Comarch Communications Network Inventory enables Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and service orchestration by providing real-time visibility of resources and exposing them through standardized APIs. Acting as a central intelligence layer, it delivers accurate data on resource availability, topology, and dependencies.

By leveraging TM Forum Open APIs, the platform allows service orchestrators to automatically calculate optimal paths and provision services without manual intervention, supporting intent-based automation and autonomous network operations.

Comarch Communications’s agile OSS delivery provides greater flexibility than traditional monolithic systems by adapting to existing network processes instead of forcing standardization. The platform is designed to support customization of data models and user interfaces, allowing operators to align the system with their infrastructure and business workflows.

This approach increases user adoption, reduces operational complexity, and lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to rigid, out-of-the-box vendor solutions.
