SD-WAN comes with app-layer intelligence and service chaining in WAN connections between branch offices and headquarters/data centers. With SD-WAN, business operators enjoy the flexibility and open-cloud approach to manage and control VNF deployments for their WAN connections and other network services.

Lanner and leading VNF partners have tested and validated integrated solutions that merges Lanner’s compact virtual CPE appliances and industry-leading VNF software, offering flexibility and cost advantages for creating agile and profitable managed services.

NFV infrastructure is designed to meet the stringent “always-on”, high-availability requirements by the telecom industry. Joined by open software standards including carrier grade Linux, real-time KVM, carrier grade plug-in like OpenStack®, Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), and accelerated virtual switching, NFVI platform ensures the service uptime, compatibility, performance and security that are essential for service provider networks.

Lanner’s NFVI-ready platforms have undergone a comprehensive testing and validation process with carrier-grade NFVI software optimized for accelerating time-to-market for service providers and telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs).

To shorten NFV deployment with zero provisioning and flexible service delivery, it is crucial to provide an automated orchestrator and OSS/BSS platform optimized for accelerated service delivery and efficient order-to-cash cycles.
