Ecosystem consists of 26 technology providers including virtual
network function vendors, platform partners and service providers
working collectively to develop and advance NFV in the telecom

Radware has received top scores for their development work and
commitment to advancing NFV use cases and deployments with the same
availability and reliability that service providers have come to
expect. The award recognizes Radware's commitment to Network
Functions Virtualization, based on their:
- NFV Vision - Radware, an early adopter in the CloudBand NFV
Ecosystem, was one of the first companies to see and develop an
early Network Functions Virtualization solution.
- Collaboration - Radware has demonstrated an enthusiastic and
collaborative spirit in the development of use cases for service
providers advancing NFV knowledge.
- NFV Use Cases - Radware produced one of the first use cases in
2013, demonstrating the virtualization of load balancing, and made
this available to the NFV community. Radware working with
Alcatel-Lucent is advancing a new use case to provide vDP –
Virtual DDoS prevention to further facilitate DDoS solutions in NFV
implementations.
- NFV Solutions – Radware's development of virtual load balancers
has contributed a critical component for service provider NFV
environments by overcoming some of the significant networking
challenges associated with providing elastic and scalable cloud
capabilities.
"CloudBand NFV Ecosystem partners will continue to drive
innovation with service providers to respond to today's
virtualization challenges including: faster service deployment,
simplified operations, and better leveraged assets. Last October,
Alcatel-Lucent opened our lab for free so partners like Radware
could onboard their applications onto CloudBand, our NFV Platform,
at no cost, and with NFV experts to help them. We have the
only ecosystem who provides a network environment for our partners
to onboard their applications to test and learn. We believe that
this hands-on approach of open collaboration is the key to helping
service providers visualize the benefit of moving to a virtualized
environment. Our goal is to foster collaboration and
experimentation that will accelerate NFV. Congratulations to
Radware for their contribution to advancing the next generation of
NFV solutions for service providers," commented Dor Skuler, General
Manager, CloudBand Business Unit, Alcatel-Lucent.
