TELUS, one of Canada's three big telecom providers has deployed NEC/Netcracker's Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) Business and Operational Support solution.
NEC/Netcracker NaaS is a full-stack solution encompassing VNF onboarding, orchestration and SDN/NFV-ready BSS applications.
TELUS NaaS enables businesses to virtually build, manage and cloud-optimize their networks quickly, easily and cost-effectively through a flexible self-serve platform. According to NEC/Netcracker, new secure networking services, such as SD-WAN, can be configured up to 80 percent faster than traditional networks, enabling TELUS to better serve the needs of its customers while reducing networking costs.
The TELUS NaaS solution uses NEC/Netcracker's Order Management and Service Orchestration. The NaaS platform also utilizes NEC/Netcracker's Business Enablement Applications, including NaaS Self-Service for real-time configuration and monitoring, and Netcracker's Customer and Product Information Management offerings.
