Software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), self-organizing network (SON), orchestration and cloud-based solutions are some the technologies that must for the foundation of this next generation technology architecture.
Adoption of NFV and SDN demands transformation of NetOps Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) significantly transforms and advances the state of mobile and data networks by moving away from legacy infrastructure into a more agile and flexible virtualised architecture, which empowers the creation and launch of new services and applications in a matter of hours and days instead of months with traditional hardware-based products.
SERVICES OFFERINGS
Today CSPs need systems and tools which can adapt quickly to the changing market scenarios. These tools should be able to scale quickly, and if possible, to the near-real time features.
OdiTek provides following solution along within the partner ecosystem:
- Complete lab testing solutions
- Developing prototype
- Working with NFV vendors of CSP choice in POC, testing and use-cases,
- Comparison of results and selecting best
- Migration and field roll-out managed services
- Legacy network managed services, so that CSP can focus on NFV roll-out
OdiTek can support CSPs in implementing advanced solutions like NFV, SDN while managing the legacy network operations. OdiTek focuses on achieving these goals by providing hybrid network managed services, where CSPs continue to use legacy physical network, while they migrate to virtualised NFV network.
SKILLS AND MATRIX
- OdiTek understands and has vast experience of taking this technical support from OEM and provide a mix of offsite/ onsite delivery model enabling operators to significantly reduce the Opex.
- OdiTek Centre of Excellence (CoE) provides high level of technical support across wireline and wireless technology with multi vendors, multi technology expertise.
- We have wireless COE for RF as well for remote tasks execution on wireless planning and optimisation.
Virtualisation of physical network elements are giving organisations, advantage of cost, scalability, innovation and quick deployment. But these promising virtualisation technologies brings with them challenges also, specifically when the organisation is having partial network on virtualised platforms, and a part of legacy network still having physical elements.
Such a hybrid network requires specific attention and skills to manage network operations.Clearly the telecommunications industry is at an inflexion point. Service providers that adopt technologies like NFV, SDN, will gain from the first mover advantage.
