Welcome to SDN and NFV - Technologies
NWV_118d | On-Demand | 5G Core | 1
Course Duration: 1 hour
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technologies are reshaping how telecom service providers’ networks operate resulting in more efficient operation that reduces costs and increases savings. Together, these solutions allow networks to operate at web-scale and provide customers with unprecedented levels of agility and flexibility.
Intended Audience
The course is for an audience interested in understanding how SDN and NFV provide optimal network solutions that not only provide customers with key benefits, but also improve the ability to respond to customer demands.
Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
■ Give examples of SDN and NFV in action
■ Sketch an example of an SDN and NFV-based network
■ Articulate how orchestration provides improved network management
■ Explain how SDN, orchestration and NFV work together to improve the customer experience
■ List some of the fundamental shifts due to SDN and NFV
