CBIS Overview
What is CBIS??
• CloudBand Infrastructure Software (CBIS) virtualizes and manages compute,
storage, and network resources to enable Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs)
operation
• CBIS performs the Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) function and provides
the virtualization software (hypervisor, virtual switch, monitoring) on each server
• CBIS meets strict requirements for robustness, performance and security
• High Availability by design with no single point of failure
• Extensive analytics and monitoring capabilities
• CBIS works with VNF managers, NFV orchestrators and Operational Support
Systems (OSS) from multiple vendor, through Industry-Standard OpenStack-
compliant Northbound APIs

 CBIS Value Proposition
• CloudBand Infrastructure Software (or CBIS) is a carrier grade solution
• Improvements and enhancements over plain Community Openstack software
• Installation, configurations, High Availability, monitoring
• Operational procedures: add/remove, backup/restore
• Security hardening
• Comply with ANSSI, DoD STIG, CIS and Nokia Security Auditing Checklist
• Full Security scanning as part of each release process
• End to End process. from integration, testing, installation and live deployment
• CBIS value add is based on packaging, tuning, configuration and extensive testing in NFV
scenarios
• Proven and certified set of hardware configurations
• Nokia has proof points of 3rd party VNFs successfully running on top of CBIS in 10s
of commercial deployments
