NEC announced that its Traffic Management Solutions (TMS), which provide more comprehensive control of communications traffic, have been certified for use with VMware Ready for NFV, which will enable NEC to operate in VMware's virtualization environments.
This certification was acquired through detailed evaluations that verified the operability of software combinations from both companies. Information that is certified through these evaluations is disclosed in the VMware Solution Exchange (VSX). TMS products improve the quality-of-experience for users and are becoming increasingly significant to the development of 5G, as they enable Communications Service Providers (CSP) to operate networks more efficiently.
The capabilities of VMware Ready for NFV include the application of optimal communication parameters based on network characteristics and traffic conditions, as well as functions that control retransmission due to packet loss. In order to promote open innovation across diverse industries in the 5G era, CSPs are required to respond to emerging use cases and provide services in a timely manner.
The VMware Ready program is a co-branding benefit of the Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program that makes it easy for customers to identify partner products certified to work with VMware cloud infrastructure. Customers can use these products and solutions to help lower project risks and realize cost savings over custom-built solutions.
