Category NFVI Software
Relevancy to NFVI/VIM

NFVI is built on Red Hat OpenStack Platform and is the foundation for CSPs’ network transformation projects. Red Hat CloudForms can be used to present information from multiple VIMs. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a co-engineered host and guest OS.
Value Proposition

The future of Telco is open: Red Hat’s open telco framework connects three essential platforms- data management, application development and infrastructure- on which modern CSPs rely for their digital transformation. Red Hat’s NFV Solution, based on contributions to OpenStack, KVM, and DPDK, is open source and standards-based; it underpins the framework and is strengthened by Red Hat’s broad ecosystem of certified partners to provide a stable and interoperable foundation on which to build.
