The company also expect the deployment to be adopted in edge network sites by the end of the year, as well as a number of Verizon\u2019s international locations, though a time-frame for the international sites was not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding on our history of innovation, this NFV project is another step in building Verizon\u2019s next-generation network &#8211; with implications for the industry,\u201d said Adam Koeppe, VP of Network Technology Planning at Verizon. \u201cNew and emerging applications are highlighting the need for collaborative research and development in technologies like NFV. We consider this achievement to be foundational for building the Verizon cloud that serves our customers\u2019 needs anywhere, anytime, any app.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Verizon worked with Big Switch Networks, Dell and Red Hat to develop the OpenStack pod-based design, which went from idea to deployment of more than 50 racks in five data centres in nine months, includes a spine-leaf fabric for each pod controlled through a Neutron plugin to Red Hat OpenStack Platform. The multi-vendor project uses Big Switch\u2019s SDN controller software managing Dell switches, which are orchestrated by Red Hat OpenStack platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDell&#8217;s Open Networking initiative delivers on the promise of bringing innovative technology, services and choice to our customers and Verizon\u2019s NFV project is a testament to that vision,\u201d said Tom Burns, GM of Dell\u2019s networking business unit. \u201cWith the open source leadership of Red Hat, the SDN expertise of Big Switch and the infrastructure, service and support at scale from Dell, this deployment demonstrates a level of collaboration that sets the tone for the Open Networking ecosystem.
