VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
 Dell has introduced its NFV solution offerings and companion starter kits, comprising Dell systems and software combined with software from open ecosystem partners and open-source distributions to help jumpstart carrier trials and adoption. Dell’s NFV solutions can help telecommunications service providers improve cost structures of existing service delivery and simply and quickly enable new service innovation and creation. This is achieved by virtualizing the telecommunications and mobile service infrastructure using industry-standard compute and open networking platforms, combined with commercially available software packages at the infrastructure, management, orchestration and service layers. Manish Gupta, Director, Enterprise Solutions Group, Dell India, said, “Due to the exponential growth of data and expectation from consumers for high-speed telecommunication services, telecom service players cannot meet the demands of consumers in the conventional way. We have designed the Network Functions Virtualization Solutions offerings to provide telecom customers with a more customized approach to their data needs, thereby reducing costs and improving the overall experience of service delivery. This customized solution is truly end-to-end offering customers with the latest server, storage, networking and storage technologies from Dell combined with software from Dell’s ecosystem partners.” The Dell NFV platform uses the latest server, storage, networking and software technologies from Dell combined with software from open ecosystem partners to form fully-converged, virtualized infrastructure that can execute virtual network functions (VNFs). The platform also includes foundational software and open interfaces for Management and Orchestration (MANO) for simple operation and ease of integration. From a deployment perspective, the Dell NFV platform can be dimensioned and equipped for application virtually anywhere, at any scale, in a carrier environment. |
