(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
· Ericsson has released its verified Network Functions Virtualization
infrastructure (NFVi) solution including transformation service offering and
multivendor capabilities.

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has launched its verified Network Functions
Virtualization infrastructure (NFVi) solution with multivendor capabilities and
a transformation service offering.
Ericsson's NFVi solution offering is based on a well-defined architecture,
completely pre-integrated and verified platform consisting of hardware
(Ericsson's Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000 (HDS 8000) and Blade Server
Platform (BSP8000), Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment, Ericsson Cloud
Manager, Ericsson Cloud SDN and consulting, system integration and support
services. Modular in it design components can be substituted to accommodate
service provider's needs.
Ericsson's portfolio is designed to deliver flexibility during Virtual Network
Functions (VNFs) deployments. Coupled with a services offering, the solution
supports a host of different deployment scenarios ranging from full decoupling
of NFV components from different vendors to a full stack solution.
As the first incremental step in building the infrastructure for 5G and the
Internet of Things (IoT), NFVi supports a software defined infrastructure that
provides increased speed, agility and efficiency when deploying new services.
Richard Schenk, Head of Network and Datacenter Development, Swisscom says "The
advantage our customers will experience with Ericsson cloud and NFVi is that we
can introduce new products. We will bring services which we do not know today,
as in the IoT environment. We will also be able to configure services with
network slices so that they fit exactly to the product that we have at this
moment"
Susan James, Head of Product Line NFV Infrastructure, Ericsson, says:
"Ericsson's NFVi solution is an important step on our journey to building the
infrastructure for 5G and the Internet of Things. By offering a flexible, pre-
integrated and verified open system platform, we can provide our customers with
several different deployment options ranging all the way from full decoupling of
NFV components to full stack solution deployment. This provides a shorter time
to market, with increased speed, agility and efficiency for our customers
deploying new services."
Patrick Filkins, Telecom Analyst, Technology Business Research (TBR) Telecom
Practice, said, "TBR conducted primary research earlier this year, in which we
asked Tier 1 global operators about their perceptions of the best-positioned NFV
and SDN suppliers. TBR investigated the operators' adoption drivers, use cases,
adoption timeframes, and spending for NFV and SDN as well as operator views on
which suppliers were best positioned to address NFV and SDN requirements.
Ericsson was evaluated by the operators as the best-positioned supplier to
address NFV and SDN requirements."
Ericsson has already announced various NFV contracts with a host of tier 1
operators around the world, including Telstra, Swisscom, Telefonica, Axiata,
Digicel and SoftBank, and was the first vendor with live commercial deployments
of NFV.
