NFVI

Portfolio
Our NFVI solution has been the foundation of Ericsson Cloud Infrastructure for several years and continues to play a key role in cloud native deployments involving for example 5G Core.
 
Ericsson NFVI enables operators to deploy virtual network functions (VNFs) or cloud native functions (CNFs) from multiple vendors, as well as OSS and BSS applications, with speed while keeping total cost of ownership low.
 
The solution is system-verified which means we take full life cycle management responsibility including hardware and software components significantly simplifying deployment, operations and upgrades.

With the NFVI 7 release several major life cycle management improvements are implemented to enable Solution upgrades with minimized impact on applications. 
Decade long software support with up to 5 years support per service pack is introduced, providing a long term solution for VNFs and CNFs for 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G support on one cloud solution. 
 
The integrated Ericsson Operations Manager Cloud Infrastructure (OMC) simplifies cloud infrastructure operations with capabilities such as single pane of glass- fault, performance, logging, supervision and lifecycle management for central and distributed deployments.
