On-demand webinar: D-NFV. New Network Services in an Instant.

What if you could turn up a new service in the time it takes you to read this?

You’re probably used to waiting 6 months to turn up an existing service, and maybe as long as 18 months to create and roll out a new service.

But Distributed NFV (D-NFV) promises to deliver technology that can get services to market faster—in an instant even! That explains why 89% of providers surveyed named vCPE—which is typically distributed out towards the network edge—as their most important NFV use case for new revenues*.

D-NFV. New Services in an Instant. shows you how a new solution from Ciena can help you reap the benefits of virtualization at the edge of the network. In this on-demand webinar, you’ll learn:

  • What is D-NFV? Why is it required?
  • How does D-NFV accelerate time to market?
  • What is the value of D-NFV to enterprises?

Faster time to market, elimination of hardware-based network service rollouts, and freeing yourself from vendor lock-in are attainable with the Ciena D-NFV Solution. Learn how you can get to market faster with a fully open, integrated, and field-proven D-NFV network solution.
