Vodafone Group has selected Huawei FusionSphere OpenStack platform for global roll out of NFV and SDN.
Vodafone is driving the adoption of SDN and NFV technologies across its group, together with the necessary operational transformation required to deliver increased agility, consistency and efficiency across all of its businesses.
FusionSphere cloud operating system is a focal point in Huawei's cloud strategy. Standard OpenStack interfaces, community-enhanced features, and open access to third-party VNFs make the system well suited to telecom cloud use cases, said Huawei. A rich set of Huawei O&M tools simplify network deployments and deliver the much needed agility in operating NFV networks.
OpenStack-based FusionSphere is being widely applied to telecom, private, and public clouds and the full spectrum of accompanying use cases with demonstrated success at over 400 projects worldwide. The solution is helping carriers build open, agile, and highly reliable cloud data centers.
Fran Heeran, Head of Network Virtualization, Vodafone Group
Openness and standards are key to our future strategy and OpenStack is an important element of our transformation program. We look forward to working with Huawei to accelerate the deployment of virtualized resources and services.
Zheng Yelai, President of Huawei IT Product Line
Huawei is committed to open standards and customer centricity and will continue to increase its investments in OpenStack development and contributions back to the open source community.
