Live Proof of Concept Demo at Industry Event
Showcases “Third Network” Services Based on SDN and NFV
Principles
MRV Communications™, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVC) (“MRV®”), a global
provider of innovative packet and optical solutions for service
providers, data center operators and enterprises, and Sandvine
(TSX:SVC), a leading provider of intelligent broadband network
solutions for fixed and mobile operators, today announced their
collaboration to demonstrate a NFV-based virtual customer premise
equipment (vCPE) solution that enables next generation application
awareness at the service providers’ access network. Compared to the
traditional approach, NFV-based application awareness provides
substantial benefits such as reduced time-to-market for new
services, decreased operational expenditures and an improved
customer quality of experience (QoE).
This joint demonstration will be held within the live Proof of
Concept (PoC) Showcase at the MEF16 global networking conference,
taking place November 7-10, 2016 at the Hilton Baltimore Inner
Harbor Hotel, Baltimore, Md. The MEF16 Showcase will feature
leading-edge implementations of agile/dynamic, assured, and
orchestrated Third Network services with Lifecycle Service
Orchestration (LSO), SDN, NFV, and Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0)
innovations.
MRV and Sandvine are addressing the needs of service providers
and introducing a next generation, NFV approach to delivering
application awareness to the access network. The solution combines
MRV’s OptiSwitch OS-V Edge vCPE, a CE 2.0 programmable platform
with integrated X86 compute powered by the OPNFV release, and
Sandvine’s Network Policy Control Virtual Function (VNF), which
enables Application-Aware Networking (AAN). The proposed solution
is an implementation of a scalable, cost-efficient per-application
SLA service at the access network.
“Leveraging the power of virtualization, Sandvine’s PoC with MRV
will demonstrate how IT managers can dynamically apply powerful,
end-to-end network policy controls that promote the management of
network operational costs, without the need for additional
hardware,” said Don Bowman, Chief Technology Officer for
Sandvine.
“MRV strives to promote and develop advanced, next generation
networking solutions to address today’s most complex network
challenges confronting service providers,” stated Zeev Draer, Vice
President of Strategic Marketing for MRV. “This joint proof of
concept will highlight best-of-breed solutions that utilize
virtualization to enhance visibility at Layer 7, service delivery
and the overall user experience. Through innovative architecture
design, MRV continues to shape the infrastructure of the future,
and empowers our customers to access additional revenue streams all
while reducing overall cost of ownership for network
operations.”
