Introducing Network-based Services – How NFV and SDN Technologies Contribute to the Faster Creation and Deployment of Services
Virtualization and NFV orchestration promise a high level of automation and agility that will allow service providers to shorten service provisioning cycles and experiment with new network offers.
Implementing this technology is vital for service providers, but it is also important that they pay attention to the way they think about the relationship between physical network functions (PNFs) to VNFs. Merging the two seamlessly must be the goal, in pursuit of which operators may, for example, adopt a continuous delivery process or DevOps methodology.
