MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS – Juniper
Networks (NYSE:JNPR), the leader in network innovation, and Amdocs,
the leading provider of customer experience solutions, will showcase an
automated virtualized customer premises equipment (vCPE) solution to
meet enterprise customer demands for new, user-defined services here at
Mobile World Congress. The jointly developed offering will be
demonstrated at Amdocs’ booth (Hall 3, Booth 3G10).
Available today, the vCPE solution, which leverages Juniper Networks® vMX
router and vSRX
firewall to deliver full-featured capabilities and industry-leading
performance as a virtual function, enables service providers to quickly
introduce a broad set of services for their enterprise customers using
virtual CPE. In addition, the joint offering also utilizes Juniper
Networks Contrail™
Networking, an open SDN solution for cloud and network functions
virtualization (NFV).
The Amdocs
Network Cloud Service Orchestrator allows provisioning and rapid
fulfillment of both virtual and physical network functions services. As
part of the joint offering, Juniper and Amdocs are also providing a user
portal for self-service selection, a service catalog and service
creation capability, and a wide range of delivery and managed services
options to help service providers transition to an IT cloud operating
model.
“Service providers recognize the business value of software-powered
service chaining as they seek to make their networks more dynamic and
better able to adapt to rapid change,” said Gabriel Brown, senior
analyst at Heavy Reading. “Virtual CPE is one of the primary use-cases
for NFV and there is clear evidence that service providers will invest
in the technology if they have the software solutions they need to
achieve true service agility.”
“Together Amdocs and Juniper Networks are delivering an end-to-end
virtualized service offering that enables service providers to achieve
the unprecedented agility of cloud providers and accelerate the
provisioning of a wide range of virtual enterprise services, without
sacrificing the performance and scalability of their network,” said Mike
Marcellin, senior vice president of marketing and strategy at Juniper
Networks. “By integrating Juniper’s virtual routing and security
platforms through open interfaces and leveraging the powerful service
chaining that Contrail brings, Amdocs is able to seamlessly integrate
physical and virtualized network functions into a platform for service
delivery.”
“Service providers around the world are embracing network virtualization
to lower costs as well as to develop an agile platform to create new
revenue opportunities,” said Rebecca Prudhomme, vice president of
product and solutions marketing at Amdocs. “This vCPE solution from
Juniper and Amdocs provides a logical starting point for service
providers on their journey to a virtualized environment – enabling
programmable service chains that bring together the physical and virtual
networks. It leverages the strengths of both companies and delivers an
end-to-end, extensible automated solution that can be deployed right
now. Amdocs’ heritage of service management and orchestration gives us a
unique understanding of the communications market.”
