NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION (NFV)

Network Functions Virtualization Training, NFV Training introduces concepts, technologies and new ways to design, deploy and manage networking services. Network Functions Virtualization allows decoupling of critical network functions such as such as NAT, DHCP, DNS, firewall, IDS from proprietary hardware appliances. These critical functions are able to run in software only and simplifies networking components and leads to a fully virtualized infrastructure. This is applicable to data plane processing or control plane function in both wired and wireless network infrastructures.

Network Functions Virtualization Training helps network providers and Communication Service Provider (CSP) to accelerate the deployment of new network services to support their revenue and growth objectives without the constraints of hardware-based appliances and utilizing more standard IT virtualization technologies to their networks
