vCloud NFV for service providers who are already using in their server virtualization from VMware. In fact, the platform provides a cloud infrastructure management tools (vCloud Director for SP, VMware Integrated OpenStack) and several solutions from VMware partners that are certified under the program vCloud Ready NFV.
In our subjective opinion, the word "NFV" in the name of the platform must also confirm! It is not clear how the requirements are met operators imposed on solutions for Telco Cloud - VNF bandwidth, high-speed virtual network factory, fault tolerance, high availability, and many other requirements. Or is it all the same solution for "commercial cloud" of the operator?
The VMware, is the undisputed leader in the corporate server virtualization, but its operator requirements for NFV, and they differ depending on the application of the case.
