Amdocs Expands NFV Partner Program to Accelerate Multi-vendor Innovation for Rapid Deployment of Virtualized Network Solution...
October 11 2016 - 6:00AM
Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), the leading provider of customer experience
solutions, today announced it is expanding its network functions
virtualization (NFV) Partner Program to accelerate the development
of pre-integrated, multi-vendor solutions from leading NFV and SDN
providers and to simplify the process for service providers looking
to implement NFV-based solutions across the entire service
lifecycle.
Since its 2014 launch, the Amdocs NFV Partner
Program has grown to include more than 50 partners; the latest
addition is Brocade, which is currently working with Amdocs on a
virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) proof-of-concept with a
Tier-1 service provider. Moving beyond integration with the
orchestration and VNF management functions of Amdocs’ NFV
orchestrator, Amdocs Network Cloud Service Orchestrator, this
program offers partners new capabilities that address the holistic
NFV service lifecycle. This includes critical path processes
to accelerate Virtual Network Function (VNF) onboarding through
automation, and to ensure continuous fulfillment of virtual
services. Through the Amdocs NFV Partner Program, virtual network
function (VNF) providers can easily on-board their software using
Amdocs Service Design and Create, significantly reducing design,
configuration and testing cycles from a typical 9-12 months down to
weeks.1
The expansion of Amdocs’ NFV Partner Program is
only the latest example of the company’s commitment to drive
virtualization in the industry. Earlier this year, Amdocs
announced that it will be the integrator for telecom companies and
cloud developers using AT&T’s ECOMP platform to build their own
software-centric network services to accelerate NFV
deployments.
“Research2 shows that more than 60 percent of
service providers are looking to commercialize NFV services such as
virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) this year, as well as
software-defined transport services,” said Ann Hatchell, head of
network marketing, Amdocs. “The Amdocs NFV Partner Program
offers a comprehensive approach to NFV service lifecycle management
that encompasses service onboarding, continuous fulfillment and
assurance capabilities (including integration to back end
monetization systems) and a low risk approach to multi-vendor
innovation.”
“Brocade is actively working with Amdocs to
integrate the Amdocs Network Cloud Services Orchestrator as a key
technology component of the Brocade Vyatta Network Operating
System,” said Michael Bushong, vice president of product
management, Software Networking at Brocade. “Through this
collaboration, Brocade and Amdocs enable service providers to
simplify the creation and roll-out of new and revenue-generating
services.”
