InfoVista Joins the HP OpenNFV Application Partner Program


InfoVista, the global leader of IP and RF network planning, service assurance and network optimization software solutions, today announced it has joined the HP OpenNFV Application Partner Program. The company's move will help communications service providers (CSPs) make the most of network function virtualization (NFV) technology, maximizing the quality of their high-value, application-aware network services for enterprise customers.

NFV is part of an overall industry transformation towards network and IT infrastructure virtualization. Operators are looking to the technology as a means to increase service agility, network elasticity and scalability, allowing them to accelerate the delivery of innovative services at software-related operational costs, while ensuring an optimal quality of experience (QoE) and protecting their revenue streams.

The HP OpenNFV platform provides resources to help accelerate the design, proof-of-concept, trial and deployment of new cloud-enabled network services and innovations, while lowering capital and operating expenditures (CAPEX/OPEX) and reducing business risks.

By joining this partner ecosystem, InfoVista offers its Ipanema (News - Alert) application performance guarantee solution, the solution of choice for industry-leading CSPs such as OBS and BT, as a virtual, fully tested, HP-compliant NFV solution. This will help CSPs to further deliver high-performing and differentiated application-aware network services to their enterprise customers that are virtualizing their communications and IT infrastructures.
