LONDON. 19 October 2016: Enterprises demand is one
of the key driving factors for cloud applications, but
businesses must evolve towards vCPE architecture to avoid higher costs
and upgrade difficulties, ZTE warned today. Speaking at Broadband World
Forum, Mr Francis Yan, CTO of Bearer Network at ZTE, advised how under
traditional CPE architecture, the dedicated hardwares are preventing service
providers from responding quickly to customer demands.

ZTE, a
global leader in telecommunications and information technology,
has dedicated over thousands highly skilled engineers,
network architects and software programmers in order to increase their strong
presence in the cloud industry, and they are recently announcing
ElasticNetTM V3.0, a solution which helps telecom
operators for successful network transformation.

“With the
development of the SDN and NFV technologies, vCPE solution that
integrates the evolution of both is the naturalapproach to
solving the problems for enterprises and network service providers,” said
Mr Yan. “The vCPE solution not only brings high-quality experience and lower
costs to enterprises, but also allows network service providers to
extend their scope of operation, and play a more proactive role
in the service operation of enterprises.”

vCPE
brings a brand new experience to enterprises, without the need to
change their internal network architecture. Customers are able to
immediately customize network services, and easily subscribe to and manage
network services through the portal websites of network carriers. vCPE is
extremely flexible and mobile, giving customers the ability to add and remove
services as required, supporting plug-and-play and service sharing
anywhere. Security is also a prominent focus, giving carrier-class security and
reliable assurance to customers.

“The
virtualization of dedicated hardware makes deployment more flexible and
convenient, allowing enterprise users to freely select the places to deploy
virtual applications,” said Mr Yan.

Due to
the centralized control system, vCPE is capable of perceiving user services, in
order for the network to immediately respond to service changes of enterprise
users, and adapt itself to changes in user services.

“With
vCPE, enterprises and network carriers achieve a win-win situation. ZTE is a global
communications leader, with many SDN/NFV global deployment practices. On the
SDN/NFV development trend, ZTE actively participates in open-source community
construction to create an open environment and devotes itself to
promoting the technology development as well as the healthy development
of vCPE,” concluded Mr Yan.
