datacenter, WAN sites and public cloud providers, delivers synergy across
network offerings, such as MPLS VPN and hybrid WAN services as well as hosted
cloud services, by leading service providers such as Vodafone and other large
cloud providers.
David Amzallag, head of network virtualization, Vodafone Group, said: "We look
forward to working closely with Nokia on the successful roll-out of our Vodafone
Ocean implementation and our new SD-WAN with our enterprise customers. An open,
multi-vendor SDN infrastructure is key for delivering better, faster and smarter
services to our customers.''

solution is Vodafone's top selection to transform their datacenter applications
and VPN+ service offer with the highest levels of agility, simplicity and
