NFV Training or Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Training:

NFV Training or Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Training Course by Example

NFV Training | Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Training introduces concepts, technologies, and new ways to design, deploy and manage networking services. Network Functions Virtualization allows the decoupling of critical network functions such as NAT, DHCP, DNS, firewall, and IDS from proprietary hardware appliances.

These critical functions are able to run in software only and simplify networking components and lead to a fully virtualized infrastructure. This is applicable to data plane processing or control plane function in both wired and wireless network infrastructures.

NFV or Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) course starts with a discussion of the benefits and motivation of NFV and an overview of NFV architecture, NVF components, NFV NFV requirements, implementation challenges, and enablers provided by LTE and IMS network functions. You will also learn how Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies and NFV can be integrated. Network Functions Virtualization course help network providers and Communication Service Provider (CSP) to accelerate the deployment of new network services to support their revenue and growth objectives without the constraints of hardware-based appliances and utilizing more standard IT virtualization technologies in their networks.
