Mavenir announced that CloudRange,
its industry leading Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and
container management and orchestration (MANO) platform, has large scale
live deployments with a number of Tier 1 mobile operators worldwide.
Mavenir has deployed comprehensive Cloud Native Virtualized Network
Functions (VNFs) such as vEPC, vSBC and vIMS, supporting VoLTE, RCS, and
various IMS service applications for consumer and enterprise segments
while delivering on the NFV promise of increased business agility,
network elasticity and enabling new commercial opportunities.
CloudRange allows CSPs to realize additional revenue streams by
launching and scaling new services more broadly, rapidly and more
efficiently. Features include:
-
Lifecycle Management
-
Closed-loop automation, making networks programmable for Network
Slicing
-
Cloud Native and Web-Scale architecture
-
Works across radio, core, and applications to allow practical
deployments such as subscriber data/intelligence in the network, MVNO
network setup, and network upgrade in multi-vendor NFV OpenStack
deployments
"When we announced CloudRange last year, it was in response to the
erosion of market share and ARPU that indicated mobile operators needed
a software-only approach to lower costs, increase revenues and enables
new business models. Now, a year later, it's live on very large scale
NFV deployments," said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO of Mavenir.
"Mavenir's end-to-end Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) enable
operators to launch new services or capabilities that integrate smoothly
with existing operations, as well as the flexibility to adjust
deployments based on subscriber behavior and evolving new
technologies...while avoiding legacy supplier lock-in and proprietary
approaches."
CloudRange is a fully automated NFV solution, built with a Cloud Native
and Web-Scale architecture that drastically drives down the network
economics for mobile operators with scalability, efficiency and zero
touch automation. CloudRange is also used to manage Mavenir's
cloud-native microservices based stateless applications.
CloudRange empowers operators with highly efficient orchestration and
control of VNF and container assets and helps to deliver cost savings by
including additional infrastructure elements such as traffic
aggregation, load balancing and end-to-end service assurance with
analytics, monitoring and orchestration. CloudRange also includes
Virtual Taps and Traffic monitoring along with open networking switches
that are fully controlled and managed by Mavenir SDN-Controller, to
ensure full and comprehensive operational control.
