The Advent of NFV and Best Practices for Deployment

Traditional telecom OSS systems are being disrupted due to massive complexity, slow development time and legacy design concepts – the same is true on the enterprise side of the demarcation as well. Enterprises are looking to reduce operational expenditures and increase network agility and flexibility. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) benefits organizations on multiple levels, offering flexibility and new possibilities for serving the needs of their customers more efficiently while helping them achieve their CapEx and OpEx goals. While NFV has been around (at least conceptually) since 2013, its true benefits are only now becoming realized in real-world applications, which are largely being driven by new network requirements, including uCPE, SD-WAN, IoT, network slicing and 5G.

Datavision’s approach ensures you experience a smooth transition from Proof-of-Concept (PoC) to Production with our expertise in full-cycle SDN/NFV implementation. We guide you through establishing a virtualization strategy for your organization, including a review of services, geographies and vendors. We work through a detailed requirements analysis, design and implementation plan for your specific services and network needs, and ensure that it meets your requirements and success benchmarks before rolling it out to the rest of the network.
