Overture Harmony NFV Partner Ecosystem Welcomes New MembersRESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- Overture today announced new members to Harmony, an ecosystem of hardware, software and services partners focused on accelerating service provider's automation and network functions virtualization (NFV) initiatives at the metro service edge. The Harmony partner program creates an open environment essential to accelerate software-defined services. Working together, Harmony partners' goals are to ensure that service providers can select among best of breed components and avoid single vendor proprietary systems, while accelerating deployments and minimizing project risks. "It is encouraging to see the growing industry support for our multi-vendor ecosystem as we deliver network solutions that help accelerate service innovation based on virtualization and software-defined services," said Overture President and CEO, Mike Aquino. "Our service provider customers continue to ask for open architectures, vendor cooperation, and open interfaces, and we are committed to each of these. We welcome the newest members to our Harmony program and greatly appreciate their collaboration." Each of the partnerships is being driven by real-world customer deployments. The newest members of the Harmony program are:
These new additions join the initial members, announced in June, that include 6WIND, Aeroflex (News - Alert), Brocade, Dell, EnterpriseWeb, Intel, JDSU, Metaswitch Networks, Qosmos and Wind River.

Ensemble OSA™ is the industry's first complete and open platform for service automation and network functions virtualization that is built specifically for the service provider metro edge.
