Network Function Virtualization (NFV)

Drive efficiency and agility while reducing operational costs. NFV simplifies network architectures and transforms business models, enabling dynamic service delivery tailored to industry verticals.

Are you ready for NFV?

NFV is exactly what organizations are looking for to address dynamic service requirements, growing workloads, automation needs, multi-vendor architectures and the complexities of agile development. While NFV is a great answer to these problems, it is a new model that presents new challenges. We have the resources to help solve them together.

How do I get started?

The value of NFV is apparent, but committing to the labor-intensive processes needed to validate and deploy solutions effectively can prove challenging. Our advanced capabilities and deep industry relationships help reduce time, cost and risk associated with identifying and incorporating multi-vendor NFV solutions.

Evaluate

NFV is a complex solution comprised of multiple vendors and layers. Choosing the right technology stack to execute on your unique business objectives is critical. Our vendor-neutral Advanced Technology Center (ATC) provides a customizable lab environment to understand how different technologies play with one another, and how NFV solutions interoperate within your network architecture as a whole.

Design

Collaboration is key to successful NFV adoption. Our extensive list of partnerships on both the hardware and software side of the equation, combined with our technical expertise across industry verticals and integration capabilities, helps deliver a best-of-breed solution tailored to your specific needs.

Resources

Implement

From the drawing board to field execution, our customers can leverage our supply chain capabilities, integration labs, professional services and program management groups to accelerate NFV implementation across their organization.

Resources

Operate

One of NFV's main value drivers — disaggregation — also creates a challenge for organizations. When new product releases or software versions roll out, who is responsible for solution lifecycle management across the various vendors? We work with vendors and the customer in the ATC to continuously test and validate using a production-level customer configuration.
