Data Fabric cleans, normalises and streams this data into CSP Data Lakes and Lakehouses, creating high-quality, consumable data for assurance, analytics and AI applications.

Does Mycom support public and private cloud deployments?

Yes. Mycom supports flexible deployment across public and private clouds, virtualized data centres and on-premises infrastructure. Its cloud-native architecture enables CSPs to deploy and scale service assurance applications according to their infrastructure, operational and transformation requirements.

Does Mycom integrate with existing OSS/BSS environments?

Yes. Mycom is designed to integrate with existing telecom OSS/BSS ecosystems using open, industry-standard APIs. Its platform supports integration with OSS and BSS systems, data lakes, network management systems, orchestrators and other third-party platforms, helping CSPs modernize operations without replacing their entire existing technology environment.

Which hyperscalers does Mycom support?

Mycom works closely with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver cloud-based assurance and AI capabilities for CSPs. Mycom’s Service Assurance SaaS is available through AWS Marketplace, with solutions deployed on AWS public cloud to provide scalable, AI-powered network and service assurance.

Assurance Cloud Service

What is the Assurance Cloud Service?

The Assurance Cloud Service (ACS) is Mycom’s fully managed, telco-grade SaaS delivery of the EAA application portfolio. Instead of licensing software and running it, the CSP can subscribe to usage entitlements on a dedicated, isolated, region-placed cloud service that Mycom builds, runs, secures and updates, from the cloud account up to the application user interface.

How is the cloud service different from the CSP running the same applications?

The applications are the same; what differs is everything underneath them. Self-managed means owning the compute, Kubernetes, databases, networking, security, backup and geo-redundancy, plus a team to operate it all. With ACS that undifferentiated engineering is included and kept current by the platform, so that the CSP teams can focus on networks and services.

Does the cloud service make the applications perform better, or just hosts them?

It makes them perform better. The ACS Platform provisions cloud resources specifically for the assurance workload, with Graviton compute, inference-optimized instances, elastic serverless databases and storage, and tuned Kubernetes controllers. In-memory analytics, deep-learning inference and streaming run as first-class tenant services, which is hard to replicate
cost-effectively on-premises.

How quickly can an ACS tenant be deployed?

Onboarding runs from a day to a month, and a tenant typically activates in about a day, against roughly a nine-month build for a self-managed estate. Data integration drops from six months to around two weeks, and new applications, users and capacity activate on demand rather than as
multi-month projects.

What availability and disaster recovery does ACS provide?

A MultiZone tenant runs across three AWS availability zones, targeting a 99.99% availability SLO and a 99.9% SLA; OneZone targets 99.9% / 99.5%. Disaster recovery uses scheduled point-in-time backups with a 24-hour recovery point objective and an 8-hour recovery time objective, and tenants absorb data bursts of up to 500% without operator intervention.

Is the cloud service secure and compliant enough for regulated operators?

Yes. ACS is the compliance-grade tier, not a compromise. Every tenant is a dedicated, fully isolated environment in the CSPs chosen region, reached only over by its own private connectivity, so that isolation, in-region data residency and private networking are delivered by the service. Governance is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and the platform is AWS Well-Architected reviewed.

How is ACS priced, and how do I keep costs under control?

ACS uses a simple entitlements-based subscription shaped to the CSP’s deployment, instead of a capex-weighted, buy-for-peak cost structure. Usage is metered monthly at the 95th percentile, so a one-off event storm doesn’t push the CSP into a higher tier. The SaaS Customer Portal Usage Advisory flags avoidable spend before it becomes an overrun.

Can I buy ACS through AWS Marketplace?

Yes. ACS is available through AWS Marketplace, which consolidates fees onto a single AWS invoice, letting the CSP draw on existing AWS spend commitments, and may qualify the CSP for the AWS Workload Migration Program. Private offers support accelerated contracting on standard terms.

What does ACS cover, and what remains my responsibility?

Mycom owns the stack up to the application user interface: the platform, cloud resources, security, upgrades and operations. The CSP owns connectivity to the cloud, the client-side edge collectors, user administration, CSP use cases, and staying within purchased entitlements. The boundary sits at the edge of the tenant in a written shared responsibility model.

Is there proof the cloud service works at scale?

Yes. A tier-one mobile operator in APAC migrated from on-premises Mycom assurance to ACS and now manages its entire network from a single tenant, while reducing the overall assurance TCO. Reported outcomes include a 70% reduction in routine performance-data extract and analysis, ten systems consolidated into one, and a 99% first-pass success rate on user acceptance testing.
