Media Alert: MRV Uncovers New Capabilities in SDN and NFV
CHATSWORTH, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
MRV Communications (News - Alert) ™, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVC) ("MRV®"), a global
provider of innovative packet and optical solutions, announced today
that is has published a white paper that explores new techniques in
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization
(NFV) that revolutionize how service providers architect, build and
operate networks. The white paper explains how SDN and NFV approaches
can be leveraged to enable service innovation, service differentiation,
CapEx/OpEx reduction and continued growth of services and revenues.

b>Key Takeaways:
-
Traditionally, service providers had to choose between (a) utilizing
hardware appliances for network functions while losing the benefits of
NFV and SDN, or (b) leveraging NFV and/or SDN architecture on COTS
servers while incurring associated traffic-forwarding rate limitations.
-
MRV eliminates this dilemma by enabling service providers to process
virtual functions in the cloud, or migrate functions to the metro
service edge and customer premises. This approach results in gaining
NFV and SDN benefits without compromising service performance.
-
The unique architectures of MRV's OptiPacket®, OptiDriver™,
OptiSwitch®, Pro-Vision® and Linux open source software streamline
service providers' ability to migrate to NFV and SDN approaches by
incorporating:
-
a standardized virtualization operating environment that promotes
improved performance, flexibility and the consolidation of
management and provisioning functions;
-
open, programmable hardware to ensure operators can reprogram
devices quickly and on demand; and
-
centralized, intelligent applications that implement dynamic,
advanced services like application-awareness, security and traffic
steering.
