BARCELONA (PRWEB) February 28, 2018 -- ***MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS***

Cloud-Native NFV is the next wave in the telecommunication and network function virtualization space, and Cloudify’s Cloud-Native VNF approach is helping VNF vendors to usher in this new era.

Post this

The long-sought solution to one of the biggest challenges in the transformation to Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)—automation of Virtual Network Functions (VNF) onboarding—is taking center stage at Mobile World Congress this week. Cloudify’s Cloud-Native VNF approach is being demonstrated by Fortinet, 6Wind, NetNumber, Metaswitch and ASOCS; all are all using Cloudify as an embedded VNF manager to smooth their transitions to NFV and Cloud-Native architectures. All are presenting their use cases this week at Mobile World Congress.

In addition, system integrators TechMahindra, HCL and Kapsch are demonstrating how they are using Cloudify as the open platform upon which to build turnkey solutions for their customers.

Cloudify’s Unique Approach to VNF Orchestration
VNFs allow network operators to deliver network services faster and at a lower cost, increasing competitiveness and generating new revenues. However, a lack of standards and developer abstraction has made the cost, time to market and agility of VNF deployments unattractive.

Cloudify’s approach—Cloud-Native VNFs—is a game changer. Developed by the community’s Cloud-Native VNF Partners, Cloudify enables automation through interoperability with existing network functions (even physical ones) alongside VNFs, enabling a smoother, faster, and more cost-effective transformation to cloud-native networking. Cloudify is open source, lightweight and embeddable. It has a small resource footprint and fits into a single container or VM. Cloudify is integrated with ONAP and Kubernetes and is the leading TOSCA orchestration platform.

Cloudify supports a range of cloud environments including VMware, OpenStack, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform, which allows VNF vendors to offer these integrations in their products through embedded VNFs. Cloudify offers a configuration plugin to simplify the configuration of a large variety of VNFs, eliminating custom code. This simplifies both VNF onboarding and complex service chaining. VNF composition can be created through a reusable blueprint configuration.

“Cloud-Native NFV is the next wave in the telecommunication and network function virtualization space, and Cloudify’s Cloud-Native VNF approach is helping VNF vendors to usher in this new era,” said Sharone Zitzman, vice president, marketing of Cloudify. “The explosion of Cloudify use cases being demonstrated at Mobile World Congress is evidence that we have reached an inflection point in the industry and have found an open source solution that is being broadly embraced with great success.”
