Network virtualization software firm, Wind River has announced that it will participate in a proof-of-concept (PoC) led by KDDI R&D Laboratories for automated operation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) test beds. The PoC will utilize Wind River' s carrier grade NFV platform, Titanium Server as its foundation for demonstrating the deployment of virtual network function. According to Wind River, during the latest PoC earlier this year, using virtualization technologies, KDDI R&D Labs successfully demonstrated full automation of the operational flow for not only mobile enviroment but also covering fixed-line infrastructure.
Wind River said that its Open standards components, including carrier grade Wind River Linux, real-time Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), carrier grade plugins for OpenStack®, Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), and accelerated vSwitch technologies, and Titanium Server, bring together high performance and carrier grade reliability.
