EMC has formed a new EMC Network Functions Virtualization Technology (NFV) Group with the aim to help all type of service providers in the communications sector to help innovate in order to thrive in a rapidly transforming market. With the NFV group, EMC is focusing to help service providers to deploy new services across global networks more quickly in pursuit of new revenue opportunities and also to analyze, and eventually monetize, the data that exists within their global networks.
To help customers and partners do this, EMC is building a Communications Service Provider Cloud architecture that is based on NFV industry frameworks. According to EMC, the architecture will leverage technologies from a unique federation of strategically aligned businesses – EMC Information Infrastructure, Pivotal, VMware, RSA and VCE – and will be designed to enable providers to deliver distributed, multiservice, carrier-grade Cloud solutions. Comprised of an NFVi layer, advanced data and security services, and a management & orchestration layer, the EMC Communications Service Provider Cloud architecture will make it possible to deliver traditional and non-traditional telecom services, and to use Big Data and analytics to optimize operations and create new revenue opportunities, said EMC.
In addition, EMC also brings to the table the Open Innovation Lab to help each service provider to capture unique identity and value, said EMC. The Lab allows customers and partners to work deeply with EMC technologists and leverage their wide portfolio of technologies, components and products as building blocks in their overall toolkit.
