Press Release
- New converged CloudBand Infrastructure Software delivers
secure, unified virtual infrastructure management software to
secure 5G cloud deployments
- The new release includes OpenStack directly from the open
source community in order to move new capabilities to customers
faster and to support the smaller footprint required for edge
deployments
- Enables management of virtual machines (VM) and containers in
the cloud to ease the transition to the multi-vendor, cloud-native
environments of the 5G era
15 November 2018
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced its latest CloudBand
Infrastructure Software to give communication service providers
(CSPs) and other customers sharper cloud management solutions that
improve service delivery and significantly reduce operating costs
as 5G deployments get underway.
CloudBand Infrastructure Software gives CSPs the capability to
unify their Network Function Virtualization
Infrastructure/Virtualized Infrastructure Manager, or NFVI/VIM, in
order to support centralized and distributed edge cloud deployments
and workloads.
The CloudBand Infrastructure Software upgrade streamlines
operational procedures by providing a single NFVi/VIM for all cloud
deployment needs, such as support and management for both VM and
containerized workloads. In a 5G digital services era, there is
greater dependence on containers in the cloud and Nokia CloudBand
Infrastructure allows CSPs to gain experience with cloud-native
architectures without introducing completely different tool
chains.
Addressing a combination of IT and Telco use cases enables Nokia
CloudBand customers to reduce cost and complexity compared to
proprietary siloed approaches.
"Operators risk unwanted complexity and costs in their OpenStack
infrastructure by creating new virtualized silos, and they stand to
benefit from a unified approach," Peter Fetterolf, CTO of ACG
Business Analytics. "By streamlining process definition,
execution, and maintenance across multiple vendors for activities
like onboarding Virtual Network Functions, deploying and updating
software, and troubleshooting using disparate tool chains,
operators can reduce the cost of managing and maintaining cloud
infrastructure by 92% over a five-year period and total cost of
ownership by 56% over the same period."
Nokia CloudBand Infrastructure Software includes OpenStack
software directly from the open source community to address several
challenges facing OpenStack adopters; for example, providing timely
maintenance and feature updates and localized infrastructure
security compliance. It also includes full Software Defined
Networking domain controller pre-integration to give customers an
end-to-end solution with lower integration costs and improved
time-to-market.
Guy Shemesh, Head of CloudBand at Nokia, said: "Nokia's
latest CloudBand Infrastructure Software improves on OpenStack's
operational state and removes risk and complexity for CSPs.
CloudBand Infrastructure Software supports a combination of IT and
Telco network cloud deployments, including stringent radio
requirements, as well as Enterprise cloud needs. It is the
best-in-class solution for converged cloud management solutions.
This next-level solution is being swiftly rolled out for Nokia
customers."
Nokia's CloudBand management and orchestration (MANO), including
CloudBand Infrastructure Software, have been key components in
several multi-year customer deployment agreements in 2018. These
have included StarHub to accelerate mobile data speeds to 1Gbps;
BSNL to support the roll out of 4G and Voice over LTE services in
India; and T-Mobile to support their nationwide, multi-band 5G
network rollout across the United States.
