VMware and Network Functions Virtualization Partners Demonstrate Real-World Solutions at NFV World Congress - Seite 2

• "While the mega-scale data center providers of the world reap the benefits of the transition toward cloud-based infrastructure, many communications service providers are struggling to keep up. At NFV World Congress, VMware and its partners will help service providers in their transition to the cloud by demonstrating NFV's true business value and application in real-world scenarios. This will help advance NFV from proof-of-concept to practical reality." - David Wright, vice president of operations, Telco NFV group at VMware

• "Software-defined networking and network functions virtualization are driving a major transformation of the communications industry, and both share a common theme: software. The need for more automation, better integration and increased flexibility are all well recognized, but it's clear that a well-established industry like data networking won't transform and re-invent itself overnight. Through partnerships such as those we've formed with Cyan, Versa Networks and VMware, we will lead the industry into the new software-defined reality, and in the process, help re-invent what's possible in terms of service delivery, cost management and operational excellence." - Nicolas Fischbach, Director Strategy, Architecture and Innovation, Colt Technology Services

• "The evolution from legacy solutions to much more flexible, virtual architectures represents a truly disruptive shift for the industry as a whole. The deployment of virtualized mobile networks is not just providing operators with savings from a capital perspective. More importantly it is accelerating the way new services are created and is opening up lucrative new revenue streams. Together Affirmed Networks and VMware are driving this evolution by delivering the types of applications and environments that will be the foundation of these new networks." - Hassan Ahmed, Chairman and CEO, Affirmed Networks

• "The Network Functions Virtualization era is upon us and customers are placing a high-premium on demonstrations that are based on real-world use cases and deployment scenarios. VMware, Cyan, and Versa Networks are showing technology at the NFV World Congress developed for customer consumption -- and in that way -- is different from most of the demonstrations in the market." - Mike Hatfield, President and Co-Founder, Cyan

• "Versa Networks is excited to be working closely with industry leaders VMware and Cyan to provide software solutions for next-generation business-class managed services. Through our collaborations with some of the world's most innovative communications service providers, like Colt Technology Services, Versa Networks has raised the agility and profitability of managed services to an unprecedented level." - Kumar Mehta, Founder & CEO of Versa Networks
