Combination of TOSCA-Based Cloudify with VMware
vCloud NFV Advances Open Standards-based Solutions for NFV
VMware, Inc., (NYSE:VMW) and GigaSpaces today announced a
collaboration to advance open, standards-based orchestration for
network functions virtualization (NFV) applications. The
availability of TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for
Cloud Applications)-based Cloudify from GigaSpaces to support the
VMware vCloud® NFV™ Platform provides customers choice in open NFV
orchestration for Telco Cloud environments.
Implementing NFV requires a robust NFV infrastructure, and the
agility provided by comprehensive NFV and multi-cloud
orchestration, to deliver complete virtualized network services to
customers. GigaSpaces Cloudify is an open source TOSCA -based cloud
orchestration software platform. VMware vCloud NFV is a
carrier-grade, production-proven NFV services delivery, operations
and management platform that offers a common platform and operating
model to enable multi-vendor, multi-domain services.
When used together, Cloudify with vCloud NFV can enable carriers
to leverage VMware infrastructure assets and skillsets, with open
source TOSCA-based orchestration from GigaSpaces. Cloudify with
vCloud NFV users can deploy virtual network functions (VNFs) over
hybrid cloud architectures, achieving automated lifecycle
management of critical network functions and services. Customers
can correlate information gathered through the VMware
infrastructure with application requirements gathered through
Cloudify to help deliver the best performance and utilization of
the underlying resources. As part of this collaboration, GigaSpaces
will be developing a VMware vRealize Operations Management Pack™
that will enable infrastructure, event correlation, event
notification and response, and policy management, enabling closed
loop service remediation, proactive capacity planning and
scaling.
Cloudify with vCloud NFV was featured in the VMware NFV
Hands-On-Lab at VMworld US 2016 and will be featured again at
VMworld® Europe 2016.
“GigaSpaces and VMware see the value to customers in an open,
standards-based framework for orchestration that gives customers
control and agility as they move to the cloud with NFV,” said Zeev
Bikowsky, Chief Executive Officer at GigaSpaces. “Our collaboration
will further support our ongoing efforts in the development of open
source NFV/MANO orchestration based on TOSCA.”
“VMware is playing a central role in the evolution and adoption
of NFV by communications service providers,” said Gabriele Di
Piazza, vice president of solutions, Telco NFV Group at VMware. “We
are pleased to see our relationship with GigaSpaces leading to
robust open source orchestration solutions that offer our mutual
customers choice in NFV foundational technologies.”
