The Ooredoo group has teamed up with Cisco to set its roadmap for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) deployments and to deliver Virtual Managed Services (VMS) to the Qatar market. With Cisco Virtual Managed Services, Ooredoo will be able to offer its customers automated cloud-based services, enabling them to outsource the management of their network and IT services to a trusted technology partner.
Ooredoo will trial the Cisco Cloud VPN, part of the Cisco VMS portfolio, which offers highly secure business connectivity and routing for site-to-site, remote access, and Internet gateway applications. Cisco said that its ETSI-based Cloud VPN delivers on the promise of automation and simplification for managed services and utilizes Cisco's best-in-class portfolio of enterprise virtualized networking functions (VNFs).
