Ericsson tapped by Verizon Enterprise Solutions to provide enabling support for NFV services
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
· Digital transformation effort to provide next evolution of virtual network
services for Verizon customers worldwide
· Dynamic orchestration will help drive rapid delivery of digital enterprise
services
· Ericsson's agile solutions help reduce time-to-market and stimulate
innovation by enabling third-party partners to create, test and on-board virtual
network functions
Verizon Enterprise Solutions has selected Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) to provide
enabling technologies for its virtualized global Managed Network Services
offerings, including Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD WAN) services.
The enabling technologies will allow Verizon customers to take advantage of
self-service ordering and configuration, end-to-end automation and flexible
payment models resulting in more efficient service delivery. The self-service
offerings will give enterprises the flexibility to dynamically combine
virtualized features from a catalog of service options such as security
packages, WAN optimization and data center load balancing for tighter service
integration and better performance.
Ericsson is providing to Verizon end-to-end dynamic orchestration, closed-loop
service assurance and virtual network function (VNF) onboarding and testing. The
solution is based on Ericsson's orchestration offering in conjunction with
consulting and systems integration services. Ericsson Cloud Manager, including
model-driven configuration management, and Ericsson Order Care provide the
orchestration engine while the VNF Factory enables efficient onboarding and
validation of VNFs into Verizon's ecosystem, while reducing its time to market
for new Verizon enterprise services.
Shawn Hakl, Vice President of Networking and Security Solutions, Verizon, says:
"This project grew out of Verizon's long-standing relationship with Ericsson and
builds on the successful launch of our mobile offering that leverages Ericsson's
cloud orchestration solutions to provide VPN capabilities for mobile devices. We
are jointly developing on Ericsson's innovative and comprehensive platform to
enable a wide range of secure virtual networking services to our enterprise
customers."
As part of Verizon's Managed SD WAN offerings, Ericsson's solution enables
Verizon to holistically govern, manage and orchestrate hybrid client networks in
real time, turning legacy networks into elastic infrastructures that are
lightweight, programmable and more adaptable.
Verizon also will use additional Ericsson solutions and services to stimulate a
partner ecosystem for enterprise-oriented Virtual Network Functions (VNF). Third
parties will provide VNFs that can be tested and on-boarded to Verizon's VNF
catalog for bundling by Verizon and selection by its enterprise customers.
Jean-Philippe Poirault, Head of Business Unit IT & Cloud Services at Ericsson,
says: "Our latest work together in NFV Orchestration will help Verizon to
continue to lead the industry with its hybrid managed networks at scale. Verizon
offers the flexibility, speed and scale required for proactively meeting the
needs of enterprise customers worldwide."
Ericsson's forward-looking initiative for dynamic orchestration based on our
work with Verizon will be on display at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
