RedHat announced its cooperation with NEC, a world-leading supplier of innovative IT, Network and communication products and solutions, to jointly develop the Network function Virtualization (NFV) function of OpenStack, assists in providing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack platform solution with the NFV function of China Telecom.

With the transformation of communications service providers and the modernization of their infrastructure and services, NFV can help them provide faster and more convenient customer services and respond to increasing capacity requirements. The integration of nec network function virtualization technology and the Red Hat Enterprise-level Linux OpenStack platform. This flexibly scalable infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) can help communication service providers achieve their modernization plans.

NEC and RedHat have been working together to develop open source software for more than ten years. In recent years, in order to make full use of the rich experience of NEC in the telecom network, the two companies have focused on integrating NFV and OpenStack, enables OpenStack NVF functions and Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) to accelerate development and reach the level and scale of telecommunications, including through the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) accelerate the operation of the data plane. At the same time, these developments will also contribute to the upstream OpenStack social networking, helping the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack platform become the NFV cloud leading platform. This cooperation case has developed a number of NFV functions, which are included in the released OpenStack Juno and are expected to be included in the future releases of OpenStack Kilo.

Red Hat and NEC will now focus on providing reliable, open, and flexible OpenStack cloud platforms for communication service providers, and give full play to NFV's powerful capabilities. After the NFV System of NEC is integrated with the Red Hat Enterprise-level Linux OpenStack platform, the Core virtual system of mobile packets is provided, that is, the virtual grouping Core Evolution System (vEPC ), and virtual Customer Premises Equipment (vCPE ). NEC and RedHat will continue to expand cooperation to integrate and optimize the Redhat Enterprise Linux OpenStack platform and NFV, and contribute to open source code social use, including OpenStack and NFV open platform.
