Ensemble Connector Virtualization Platform and ADVA FSP 150 ProVMe Recognized by
Third Network Technology Solutions of the Year Panel
Baltimore, Maryland, USA. November 9, 2016. ADVA Optical Networking announced
today that it has won two MEF Excellence Awards. The company was successful in
both of the Third Network Technology Solutions Award categories in which it was
shortlisted: Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and Multi-Vendor Technology
Solutions. The NFV accolade went to ADVA Ensemble Connector, the software-only
virtualization platform for hosting virtual network functions (VNFs) that has
already been deployed in a number of real-world networks. The ADVA FSP 150
ProVMe was a winner in the multi-vendor category for its role in a joint NFV
orchestration proof of concept (PoC) conducted with InfoVista, Juniper Networks,
Oracle and PCCW Global. The honors were presented at the MEF Excellence Awards
Dinner at the Hilton Baltimore as part of the MEF16 global networking
conference.
"Winning the MEF16 Excellence Award for NFV highlights the value of our bold
virtualization strategy. The panel of expert analysts clearly understands how
our Ensemble product suite opens the door to multi-service edge hosting. It
creates a compelling business case for virtualized services and makes them
accessible to a far wider range of customers," said Prayson Pate, CTO, Ensemble
Division, ADVA Optical Networking. "What lifted us above the competing solutions
was our strategy to give communication service providers (CSPs) a competitive
advantage through software-only NFV solutions. And with a number of companies
already leveraging our Ensemble portfolio to provide enterprises with dynamic
services built with multi-vendor VNFs, the real-world value of Ensemble
Connector is plain to see."
The winning multi-vendor project, Enabling Customer-Premises Cloud-Based
Services With Lifecycle Service Orchestration, showcased automated end-to-end
provisioning of connectivity and value-added services in a realistic network
scenario. It was built on the ADVA FSP 150 ProVMe, an edge computing platform
combining multi-layer Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and IP demarcation with an internal
server that can host virtual network applications. The ADVA FSP 150 ProVMe
empowers CSPs to create, operate and manage VNFs in a simple, open and reliable
way. With this latest-generation edge device, the project team was able to break
new ground by utilizing NFV to provision application-aware distributed customer
premises equipment (CPE)-cloud network services, including SD-WAN, and security
services. Shifting workloads from traditional data centers to compute on the CPE
improves efficiency of resource utilization and creates opportunities for new
network services.
"Accepting this major honor for multi-vendor collaboration means a lot to
everyone involved in the NFV orchestration PoC. With our project partners, we've
created a highly innovative model-driven concept for lifecycle service
orchestration. It's an approach that will enable CSPs to offer their customers
network-as-a-service and greatly accelerate time to revenue," commented Ulrich
Kohn, director, technical marketing, ADVA Optical Networking. "The win also
helps to underline ADVA Optical Networking's commitment to openness and
interoperability. Success in two prestigious awards categories provides strong
independent confirmation of our recent success, our focus on innovation and our
thought leadership. It highlights our position as the industry's NFV powerhouse
and validates our mission to drive progress and shape the networks of tomorrow."
