ADVA Optical Networking Removes Risk of NFV Migration With New One Network Edge Device
April 2017 by Marc Jacob
ADVA Optical Networking launched its new FSP 150 ProVMe (P2.4). The device has been specifically engineered to remove the risk of introducing virtualization and helps CSPs to easily and cost-effectively roll out NFV. The FSP 150 ProVMe (P2.4) achieves this with the inclusion of a hot-swappable, pluggable server that enables NFV rollout as and when needed. In combination with its hardware-assisted NFV infrastructure support functions, the newest member of the ADVA One Network Edge product family provides a simple and cost-effective way for CSPs to deploy virtual network functions (VNFs) in direct response to customer demand. The pluggable modular server also works with the ADVA Ensemble portfolio to support distributed NFV through embedded cloud functionality for greater security and scalability.
The ADVA FSP 150 ProVMe (P2.4) is a multi-technology solution for multi-layer business service demarcation and VNF hosting. It combines virtual and physical network functions for low-latency forwarding and significantly enhanced performance. Hardware-assisted support functions, such as tunneling technologies and service assurance, free up compute resources for revenue-generating services, enabling CSPs to offer a wide range of demanding applications far more efficiently. Unique VNF monitoring functions are implemented in hardware for server-independent service assurance, providing essential information for managing and optimizing the NFV infrastructure. These features are a key differentiator for the ADVA FSP 150 ProVMe series and were recently confirmed in independent EANTC tests.
