Cellwize, a Self-Organizing Network (SON) solutions provider has joined the HP OpenNFV Application Partner Program to further support Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
The HP OpenNFV Program is a multi-vendor approach that allows HP and external partners, such as Network Equipment Providers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to take advantage of the open standards–based NFV reference architecture, HP OpenNFV Labs, and the HP OpenNFV partner ecosystem of applications and services.
The ecosystem now includes Cellwize’s centralized-SON (C-SON) solutions, elastic-SON® through its SONCloud™ architecture.
According to Cellwize, with its participation in the HP OpenNFV Partner Program, customers are able to maximize the SONCloud architecture for quick deployment of elastic-SON, supporting multiple-tenant and instance scenarios.
Ofir Zemer, CEO of Cellwize
Now, with the addition of our SONCloud architecture in HP’s OpenNFV Application Program, we can quickly broaden and strengthen our SON offering to offer a comprehensive carrier-grade SON solution over NFV. This cutting edge capability is essential with the growing demand for massive LTE rollouts, network modernization and network sharing projects.
Werner Schaefer, vice president, Network Functions Virtualization, HP
NFV combined with SONCloud will provide considerable OPEX savings for mobile network service providers and further simplify network management.
