Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has launched its verified
Network Functions Virtualization infrastructure (NFVi) solution
with multivendor capabilities and a transformation service
offering.
Ericsson's NFVi solution offering is based on a
well-defined architecture, completely pre-integrated and verified
platform consisting of hardware (Ericsson's Hyperscale Datacenter
System 8000 (HDS 8000) and Blade Server Platform (BSP8000),
Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment, Ericsson Cloud Manager,
Ericsson Cloud SDN and consulting, system integration and support
services. Modular in it design components can be substituted to
accommodate service provider's needs.
Ericsson's portfolio is designed to deliver
flexibility during Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) deployments.
Coupled with a services offering, the solution supports a host of
different deployment scenarios ranging from full decoupling of NFV
components from different vendors to a full stack solution.
As the first incremental step in building the
infrastructure for 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT), NFVi
supports a software defined infrastructure that provides increased
speed, agility and efficiency when deploying new services.
Richard Schenk, Head of Network and Datacenter
Development, Swisscom says "The advantage our customers will
experience with Ericsson cloud and NFVi is that we can introduce
new products. We will bring services which we do not know today, as
in the IoT environment. We will also be able to configure services
with network slices so that they fit exactly to the product that we
have at this moment"
Susan James, Head of Product Line NFV
Infrastructure, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson's NFVi solution is an
important step on our journey to building the infrastructure for 5G
and the Internet of Things. By offering a flexible, pre-integrated
and verified open system platform, we can provide our customers
with several different deployment options ranging all the way from
full decoupling of NFV components to full stack solution
deployment. This provides a shorter time to market, with increased
speed, agility and efficiency for our customers deploying new
services."
Patrick Filkins, Telecom Analyst, Technology
Business Research (TBR) Telecom Practice, said, "TBR conducted
primary research earlier this year, in which we asked Tier 1 global
operators about their perceptions of the best-positioned NFV and
SDN suppliers. TBR investigated the operators' adoption drivers,
use cases, adoption timeframes, and spending for NFV and SDN as
well as operator views on which suppliers were best positioned to
address NFV and SDN requirements. Ericsson was evaluated by the
operators as the best-positioned supplier to address NFV and SDN
requirements."
Ericsson has already announced various NFV
contracts with a host of tier 1 operators around the world,
including Telstra, Swisscom, Telefonica, Axiata, Digicel and
SoftBank, and was the first vendor with live commercial deployments
of NFV.
