Tech Mahindra Ltd, a specialist in digital transformation, consulting and business re-engineering launched SDN and NFV based solutions at the MWC 2015. The new suite promises to address the ever changing network scenarios and demands in building the smart cities.
As a part of this suite of solutions, Tech Mahindra has developed a carrier grade Virtual Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) solution that scales independently for control and data plane surges. Tech Mahindra’s 3GPP compliant vEPC comes with a custom developed VNF manager that enhances virtualization platforms for carrier grade requirements of virtual network functions.
The company believes, this would result in significant reduction in capex as vEPC runs on commodity x86 hardware, provide for a highly scalable and flexible solution and ensure effective resource utilisation.
“We, at Tech Mahindra, help accelerate SDN-NFV transformation of CSP networks through end to end vendor neutral solutions powered by in-house IPs, system integration, testing & managed services. Tech Mahindra’s vEPC has a modular architecture making it flexible for adding new features and enhancements. This, coupled with our strong services heritage will play a key role in circumventing higher up-front costs and any hardware related issues,” said Ranganath Rajaiyengar, Vice President – R&D Services, Tech Mahindra.
