MONTRÉAL, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW
Telbec/ - Bell today announced the launch of its new Virtual
Network Services (VNS) platform, which offers enterprise business
customers a catalogue of on-demand network functions that reside
securely in Bell's private cloud. The first of its kind in
Canada, Bell VNS responds to
customers' on-demand needs by transforming and centralizing
hardware-based networks in virtualized, software-driven
networks.
"Bell VNS is a revolutionary way for business customers to adapt
their networks quickly and efficiently while reducing their
hardware expenses," said Tom Little,
President of Bell Business Markets. "The Bell VNS service
experience offers a new level of control, flexibility and
automation through software-driven networks."
At the Cisco Connect event in Toronto today, Bell also announced it will be
the first Canadian service provider to offer a managed SD-WAN
(software-defined wide area network) solution powered by Cisco
Viptela, the first Virtual Network Function offered on the Bell VNS
platform.
Managing networks is becoming more complex as applications move
to the cloud, employees become increasingly mobile and billions
more Internet of Things (IoT) devices are launched. Businesses
evolving their networks to take advantage of the scale and agility
of the cloud are turning to virtual networks to help manage and
orchestrate their network deployments.

customers across Canada. For more information, please visit
