TELEFONICA DEPLOYS NOKIA VIRTUALIZED SERVICE ROUTER IN LIVE NETWORK
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Deployment represents a significant step forward in the evolution of telco cloud
infrastructure. Allows Telefonica to deploy future VPN services quickly and
accelerate the introduction of new points of presence (PoPs).
Madrid (Spain) and Espoo (Finland) 2(nd) of November 2016- Telefonica Business
Solutions, a leading provider of a wide range of integrated communication
solutions for the B2B market, has deployed Nokia's virtualized router technology
in a live network for an improved delivery of Telefonica's global
telecommunication services. In particular, Telefonica is augmenting its IP
infrastructure with the deployment of virtualized Provider Edge routers (vPE) to
increase its network reach, accelerate deployment of its enterprise virtual
private network (VPN) services and extend its service offerings to new points of
presence within Spain and to new countries.
The new technology will expand Telefonica's opportunity to offer extended reach
and improved connectivity to its customers. The deployment of the Nokia
Virtualized Service Router (VSR) in a Provider Edge (PE) application for fixed
networks represents a significant step forward in the evolution of telco cloud
infrastructure.
Telefonica can now rapidly deploy and configure vPEs to extend their VPN service
offerings to new off-net sites and locations. In addition, this technology will
allow Telefonica to deploy new on-net points of presence (PoPs) to efficiently
serve areas with lower customer density. The introduction of vPE routers will
complement the deployment of existing Nokia Service Routers and improve time to
market while reducing operational expenses.
Nokia's virtualized portfolio was analyzed by the European Advanced Networking
Test Center (EANTC), an international group known for vendor-neutral network
performance testing. The results showed that Nokia continues to lead in the area
of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), setting a new industry benchmark for
outstanding performance, scalability and resiliency. The results of these tests
are available here.
Pedro López, Telefonica Business Solutions B2B Customer Operations Director,
said: "We have deployed and integrated one virtual PE in the International
Backbone of Telefonica. This is one of the most critical projects in the core of
the network that will help us to offer enhanced network services."
Sri Reddy, General Manager for Nokia's IP routing business, said: "When
multinational companies want to extend their VPNs - or add capacity to those
already deployed - speed, performance and reliability are all essential.
Telefonica has taken a leadership role in virtualization, and with the
certification and deployment of the Nokia VSR, they are well positioned to
expand the range and reach of their VPN services and address their customers'
evolving needs."
Javier Gavilán, Telefonica's Global CTO Planning and Technology Director, said:
"We have been working together with Nokia in our NFV Reference Implementation
Lab for some time in order to advance the availability of virtualized solutions
and, in fact, the Virtualized Service Router was successfully tested in 2015 and
the current deployment is UNICA-ready as part of the overall strategy of the
company."
