During the NFV test, ZTE adopted management and orchestration (MANO) and IP multimedia subsytem (IMS) solutions, which fully satisfied China Mobile’s requirements in tests for a comprehensive range of IoT network virtualisation functions including network element (NE) template management, fast and automatic service deployment, virtual machine (VM) migration, failure recovery, as well as dynamic scale-in and scale-out. ZTE worked together with many partners including VMware, Hewlett-Packard and Red Hat in a multi-vendor test environment designed to verify the interoperability of different configurations of hardware resource layers, virtual resource layers and virtualised network functions (VNF) layers.
During the test, ZTE’s solutions scored high ratings from China Mobile for their performance and the ability to support fast and automatic service deployment, as well as simplicity and usability.
