Automate your network and accelerate new services with VMware vCloud NFV.

VMware vCloud NFV is an ETSI compliant fully integrated, modular and multi-tenancy NFV platform. vCloud NFV enables wireline and wireless service providers to deploy an elastic business model for cross-cloud services and service enablement while simplifying networks and reducing TCO.

The Foundation for 5G

SERVICE ASSURANCE

CSPs faced with top-line and bottom-line pressures are moving from a packaged hardware approach to an NFV-driven, software-defined approach for their core network environments. While NFV is critical to CSPs ability to deliver services and capitalize on new opportunities, their capacity to virtualize and deploy services quickly is hampered by a lack of effective root cause analysis and systems that can quickly detect service interruptions and service degradations that impact subscribers Quality of Experience. This is an increasing important area of focus, given the rapid changes happening in CSP networks as they deploy 4G services and prepare for 5G services including support for IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality.

VMware Smart Assurance provides assurance capabilities to deliver service impact and root-cause analysis with visibility across physical and virtual networks, and cloud environments, to identify how resources are being consumed and whether service level agreements are being met. This transparency enables CSPs to visualize, analyze and optimize their environments to enable faster resolution times and proactive identification of issues that will provide greater return on NFV and IT investments along with improved QoS. VMware Smart Assurance is complemented by VMware technologies, including VMware vCloud NFV, VMware vRealize Operations, VMware vRealize Network Insight and VMware NSX SD-WAN.

• Gain deep network insights and understand the complex, fast-changing relationships interconnecting physical and virtual network infrastructure (compute, network, and storage). Analyze availability, performance, and configuration information to quickly identify root causes, risk conditions, and proactively resolve issues before business impact and SLA violations occur.
• Automatically discover and model all parts of the network service-delivery environments being monitored. This unique foundation enables it to analyze availability, performance, and configuration events, and quickly identify root causes, risk conditions, and SLA violations.
• Automate management capabilities to monitor and maximize service availability, performance, efficiency and service levels. With VMware Smart Assurance, CSPs gain critical management insights across physical and virtual environments to ensure that applications and services are being delivers based on CSP SLAs. VMware Smart Assurance also simplifies the operational management of complex cloud and virtual networks, leading to enhanced network operations staff productivity and efficiency.
