NFV becomes real with the migration of actual VNFs into the cloud. In this session, we will discuss the opportunities and added value in running a sample suite of applications – specifically EPC – on top on an NFV platform using Openstack. The inherent flexibility of NFV allows for operational efficiencies such as dynamic creation… Continue reading Running Real Telco Applications on Top of an NFV Platform – Opportunities and Challenges

Telco NFV Management in a Distributed, Heterogeneous Cloud Infrastructure
Ericsson Cloud Manager (ECM) functions as NFV Orchestrator and VNF life cycle manager . It enables uniform handling of VNF/Virtualized Application orchestration in a heterogeneous cloud environment consisting of different virtualization management systems such as OpenStack, VMware vCenter or Microsoft Azure. To achieve such uniformity it uses catalog driven workflow orchestration and a flexible adaptation… Continue reading Telco NFV Management in a Distributed, Heterogeneous Cloud Infrastructure
Supporting Virtualized Telco Functions with OpenStack
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is starting to move from PoCs to early commercial stages. This talk discusses technical approaches to supporting telco NFV applications with OpenStack, with a focus on Neutron virtual networking. We work through a service chaining example to drive a discussion of how OpenStack can be used today for NFV and where… Continue reading Supporting Virtualized Telco Functions with OpenStack
