VMWARE@MWC2018 – Showcasing NFV Without Limits

VMWARE@MWC2018 – Showcasing NFV Without Limits

Communications Service Providers (CSPs) today realize the need to transform their business models and build essential digital capabilities that accelerate their path to 5G networks. The challenge, however, lies in abandoning incremental initiatives in favor of transformational innovation – innovation that requires them to focus more on agility and continuous learning rather than on traditional […] The post VMWARE@MWC2018 – Showcasing NFV Without Limits appeared first on VMware Telco NFV Blog .

Introducing VMware NSX-T Reference Design

Introducing VMware NSX-T Reference Design

Available now is the VMware NSX-T Reference Design Guide, a deployment path to adopting NSX with diverse multi-domain workload requirements – multi-cloud (private/public), multi-hypervisor, and multiple application frameworks (VMs, PaaS and containers). Since VMware acquired Nicira almost five years ago, NSX for vSphere has become de-facto standard for private cloud solutions, delivering key use The post Introducing VMware NSX-T Reference Design appeared first on Network Virtualization .
