At the SDN NFV World Congress, Huawei received seven awards including “Best New Automation & Management”, “Ecosystem & Partnership: Best Validation/Certification Program”, “Best Vertical Application”, “Best New VNF Application”, “Best New Cloud-Optical Solution”, “Best Cloud & Carrier Service”, and “Contribution to Open Source/Open Networking”. The congress is of the industry’s most influential events for all who are involved in SDN/NFV. Huawei received the Best New Automation & Management award for its collaboration with Zhejiang Mobile in building an automatic and intelligent NFV network O&M platform – Network Functions Virtualization Orchestrator+ (NFVO+). After cloud-based networks are put into commercial use, the complexity of O&M continuously increases due to network decoupling and the increasing number of users. Zhejiang Mobile joined hands with Huawei to deploy the NFVO+ telecom cloud-based O&M solution. This solution uses the orchestrator and provides closed-loop guarantee, which greatly improves the reliability of the NFV network O&M and demonstrates automation and intelligence of the next-generation network management system (NMS). With automation methods in continuous integration, testing, and delivery, Huawei will continue to cooperate with Zhejiang Mobile in realizing fast service provisioning and automatic and intelligent O&M.
This award was presented in recognition of the Huawei Cloud OpenLab validation and certification program. The program prepares integration solutions for commercial use by benchmarking against the industry’s mainstream testing standards and simulates the live network from the carrier’s perspective to verify smooth evolution oriented to the target network architecture. The program quickly verifies technological and commercial feasibility for new services based on the DevOps innovative mode, and enables rapid time to market (TTM) for carrier services.
Huawei has completed interoperability tests and certification with mainstream vendors in the Huawei Cloud OpenLab. To date, the lab has introduced over 250 mainstream device models, certified over 60 vendors, and helped carriers around the world pre-certify more than 80 multi-vendor integration projects. In addition, the lab promotes the maturity of industry testing standards by summarizing the best practices from over 1,100 ICT projects and actively interacting with open-source communities.
