The SDN and NFV India Conclave 2017 has highlighted the benefits of network virtualisation with SDN, NFV and Cloud technologies for Indian telecom operators.

“Huawei is already working with global operators across regions to deploy NFV solutions making their networks smarter and 5G Ready,” said Chandan Kumar, director Marketing & Integrated Solutions, Huawei Telecommunications.

Global telecom operators such as AT&T, Telefonica and Vodafone have drafted roadmaps to move forward with NFV and SDN.

“3 philosophies which support NFV network transformation are hardware resource pooling, fully automated operations bringing significant efficiencies to the network and distributed software architecture, which helps in reduction of services from month to days,” Chandan Kumar said at the  event in Mumbai.

Many telecom operators across Europe and other developed markets will be shifting from planning to commercial deployments of NFV based networks.

“Service providers and enterprises the world over are turning to SDN and NFV technology to make their networks simpler, safer and faster, while maintaining the right balance of TCO, ROI and constant innovation of service offerings,” said Shyamal Kumar, founder and CEO, Lavelle Networks.
