Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced
that it has been selected by Vodafone to be a global supplier
of software-defined networking (SDN). Nuage Networks - the Nokia
SDN venture - will be the supplier for SDN for the
datacenter. As part of the selection, a VPN+ live
pilot project with Vodafone is also underway, which will
demonstrate the benefits of SD-WAN in providing leading-edge NFV
and IoT applications.
The Nuage Networks Virtualized Service Platform (VSP), which
will be at the heart of the Vodafone deployments, is the only
network virtualization, SDN and automation solution offering a

build truly automated and agile application delivery and cloud
networks. The end-to-end policy-based automation provided by VSP,
across datacenter, WAN sites and public cloud providers, delivers
synergy across network offerings, such as MPLS VPN and hybrid WAN
services as well as hosted cloud services, by leading service
providers such as Vodafone and other large cloud providers.
David Amzallag, head of network virtualization, Vodafone
Group, said: "We look forward to working closely with Nokia on
the successful roll-out of our Vodafone Ocean implementation and
our new SD-WAN with our enterprise customers. An open, multi-vendor
SDN infrastructure is key for delivering better, faster and smarter
services to our customers.''

journey with Vodafone more than three years ago, so we are now
honored to be selected as a partner and to be awarded as a global

solution is Vodafone's top selection to transform their datacenter
applications and VPN+ service offer with the highest levels of
agility, simplicity and automated flexibility for all users."
