Networking services are expected to be deployed at an accelerated pace and hence we are witnessing organizations making a beeline for implementing Network Function Virtualization (NFV) frameworks within data centers.
NFV replaces the use of network hardware with software called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on top of COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) hardware, lowering CAPEX and OPEX. It also enables chaining of VNFs to form a service, enabling the selection of software vendors providing specific services in the form of VNFs instead of monolithic solutions. Moreover, NFV helps data center or telecom networks to scale horizontally and vertically based on spikes in demand.
Technology vendors can leverage Calsoft’s NFV engineering and service offerings to provide validated and benchmarked solutions comprising hardware and third-party NFV software.
