ClearPath Networks, Monday announced that it has been selected by HP as an OpenNFV Application partner. The HP OpenNFV Partner Program enables Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), along with the leading Network Equipment Providers (NEPs), technology vendors, and service providers to conduct testing, and validation on the HP OpenNFV Platform.
ClearPath said that it selected HP because of the complementary fit between ClearPath’s VSP vCPE platform and HP’s Helion OpenStack Carrier Grade Platform and NFV Director’s Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) as well as its open NFV ecosystem.
ClearPath leverages NFV and SDN to virtualize and optimize vCPE. The company said that it can deploy VNFs from multiple vendors across diverse NFV infrastructure at the provider or customer facility, providing Lifecycle Manage (LCM) VNFs, VNF configurations, and NFV containers.
Cliff Young, CEO, ClearPath Network
Together we can offer a highly differentiated, high-value vCPE solution for managed service delivery to SMBs. We are already pursuing a number of joint opportunities with major operators in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Werner Schaefer, vice president, Network Functions Virtualization, HP
ClearPath’s virtualized CPE (vCPE) technology is complementary with HP NFV offerings, providing a highly efficient and customized platform for delivering and managing virtualized services for service providers.
