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. 
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. 
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.
