Mitel (vSBC): Mitel's Session Border Controller provides a software-based, virtualized and commercially proven solution optimized for today's diverse services. Mitel's SBC supports flexible network design and operating models, and contemporary cloud and NFV/SDN architectures; wireless functionality (VoLTE) and traffic models; rich and sophisticated services such as high definition voice, chat, IM, presence, messaging, file-share, and VoWiFi; and signaling-heavy advanced services. Mitel's evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) was previously certified.

Netrounds Virtual Test Agents (VTAs): Netrounds active VTAs may be launched as VNF appliances and used to integrate and automate service activation testing, quality monitoring and remote troubleshooting for the full service lifecycle as part of the NFV service orchestration. Netrounds' automation capabilities enable CSPs to reduce manual efforts required for network testing and service assurance, significantly decreasing operational costs and eliminating capital expenditures associated with using traditional test and measurement hardware.

"2016 is a year where NFV deployment is moving from proof of concept to deployment, and communication service providers are looking for tested solutions from partners to instill confidence as they move through this massive industry transition," said Gabriele Di Piazza, vice president of solutions, Telco NFV Group at VMware. "Interoperability between the NFV infrastructure, the virtual network function and the virtual infrastructure manager systems layers cannot be a barrier to deployment. We are taking a leadership position with our VMware Ready for NFV program, and collaborating with our open ecosystem of NFV partners, to validate that VNFs interoperate with our virtualized infrastructure to meet the expectations of mutual customers."
