Tele2 starts NFV roll-out with OpenStack
2016-03-23 08:43:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Tele2 has announced its first plans for network virtualisation. The company plans to move its network and IT functions into the cloud, using network function virtualisation (NFV). To speed service deployment and keep costs low, Tele2 has chosen OpenStack as the foundation for its private cloud. Canonical will provide and manage OpenStack for Tele2 and Canonical's generic VNF manager, Juju, will be used for the onboarding of new services. Huawei will be providing the rack mount servers. Cisco is the chosen network vendor and will provide its ACI solution. The entire data centre network will be built on a future-proof spine/leaf network with 25G/100G connectivity. Tele2 expects to have the first live application in the form of a virtual Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) in the cloud by Q3.
