NFV Adoption: Empowering Telcos to Manage Their Own Destiny

SDN and NFV have been hot topics over the past few years.  However, there are few SDN and NFV production deployments. Telcos have overestimated the maturity of SDN & NFV solutions and they’ve underestimated the complexity of implementing them in their environments.

The Red Hat Services team has been assisting telcos with NFV-related initiatives since OpenStack first emerged as the platform of choice for NFV. The NFV Adoption Program is targeted at telco customers in the early stages of their network functions virtualization journey, migrating from the classic telco waterfall model to an agile cloud model. This session will present the building blocks necessary to create a customer-specific solution.
