RAD is introducing "Distributed NFV," making NFV more than just a tool for relocating functionality from a customer site to the network, locating it wherever virtualized functions will be most effective and where it will best reduce carriers' TCO.

MAHWAH, N.J. - Sept. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- MAHWAH, New Jersey, September 17, 2013– RAD announced today that it will be introducing enhanced Service Assured Access Solutions with Distributed NFV at the Ethernet & SDN Expo 2013, to be held October 2-3 at the Javits Center in New York City.

RAD will share with industry leaders its vision of how virtualized functions at the customer premises along with Service Assured Access based on dedicated Layer 2/3 demarcation capabilities will accelerate service deployments and network upgrades, leading to increased revenue opportunities and lower TCO.

“Distributed NFV’s capabilities will broaden the scope of Service Assured Access for Ethernet and IP networks, and, therefore, is the next logical step in its evolution,” Dr. Yuri Gittik, head of strategic marketing at RAD,states.

“The notion of NFV architecture being just a centripetal force that relocates functionality from a customer site to the network is not the complete picture,” he continues.

“Ideally, virtualized functions should be located where they will be both most effective and least expensive, which means NFV should have the option to return to the customer site,” he explains. “These two virtualization trends should be complementary and not be the networking equivalent of two ships passing in the night.”

Dr. Gittik will also speak at theEthernet & SDN Expo, where he will discuss Distributed NFV in a panel discussion titled “Realistic Near-Term and Longer-Term Dynamic Services and Applications Enabled by Carrier SDN and NFV.”

RAD customers include operators and service providers such as Bharti Airtel, British Telecom, CenturyLink, China Mobile, China Telecom, Claro, Deutsche Telekom/T-Mobile, Embratel, France Telecom/Orange, Hutchison, KDDI, KPN, SingTel, SoftBank, Telefónica, Telekom Austria, TeliaSonera, Telstra, Telus, Verizon, and Vodafone.
