Vodafone Group tapped Nokia’s Nuage Networks division to supply a software-defined networking platform for the carrier’s data centers and to power its VPN+ pilot of software-defined wide area network services.
Nokia noted the Nuage Networks Virtualized Service Platform provides a single framework for policy based automation across the data center and WAN deployment, which can help telecom operators synchronize their multiprotocol label switching virtual private network, hybrid WAN and hosted cloud services. The platform is also said to support cloud orchestration platforms based on open source standards like OpenStack and CloudStack.
