Nakina and Wind River Collaborate to Deliver Carrier Class NFV Solutions

OTTAWA, Ontario --(Business Wire)--

Nakina Systems, a leader in multi vendor management and orchestration, announced it has integrated NI Framework, its Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) orchestration software platform,with Wind River (News - Alert) NFV software. The combined solution delivers a carrier class and scalable NFV environment spanning from hardware infrastructure to NFV management systems, meeting the demands of mission critical service provider workloads.

Nakina's (News - Alert) NI-Framework is a highly scalable, open, multi vendor management and orchestration platform. Nakina's orchestration software commissions, activates, audits and manages virtual network functions and infrastructure, including Wind River NFV solutions, simplifying and accelerating the rollout and management, of new virtual networks while providing the same values for the existing network.

"Mnagement and orchestration of virtual network environments is one of the greatest challenges service providers are facing," said Patrick Rhude, CTO, Nakina Systems (News - Alert). "Nakina's NI-Framework includes a suite of software products that automate the discovery and assurance of both physical and virtual network functions. The integration of Nakina and Wind River software provides service providers a truly scalable carrier-class environment which overcomes many of the practical deployment challenges which exist today."

"We are delighted to see Nakina introduce support our NFV software with their NFV orchestration solution," said Charlie Ashton, Senior Director, Business Development for Networking Solutions, Wind River. "Through our Titanium Cloud program, we partner with industry leaders like Nakina to assist service providers in attaining their NFV objectives. Wind River's NFV solutions are critical and powerful elements of an NFV infrastructure and by leveraging other pre-validated NFV elements, service providers can easily and quickly achieve their goals such as reducing costs while introducing new high-value services."

Wind River NFV solutions include an integrated portfolio of software elements that enables NFV infrastructure to achieve the carrier grade reliability required for telecom networks. Wind River provides the only commercial NFV server solution that enables service providers to maintain six-nines reliability as they transition to virtualized infrastructure, allowing them to meet "always on" expectations.

Nakina Systems will be demonstrating this integration at both the SDN & NFV USA 2014 show in Dallas starting October 6 and the Layer123 SDN & OpenFlow World Congress being held in Dusseldorf beginning October 14.
