Oracle has released the latest version of Oracle Communications Network Service Orchestration Solution to help Operators in their adoption of Network Function Virtualization technology and help them maximize its benefits.
The solution which is part of the Oracle Communications intelligent orchestration framework is designed to simplify the deployment of virtualized IMS networks that cost-effectively support a new generation of services such as VoLTE and VoWiFi. It can automatically configure customer and network traffic flows through integration with the OpenDaylight SDN Controller to scale services up and down while balancing the network load for improved service quality. In addition, it can support a broad range of third party virtual network functions by providing native VNF management capabilities to orchestrate VNFs that may or may not have their own VNF Manager – allowing CSPs choice and flexibility in VNF selection for network deployment.

CSPs are looking to NFV as a means to both transform their networks and to generate new revenues from the increased agility enabled by network virtualization.
Doug Suriano, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications
As CSPs evolve their networks to take advantage of cloud technologies, they must consider how to rapidly introduce virtual network functions while ensuring services are delivered with consistent, prescribed levels of quality.
