Verizon Communications claims it recently completed the industry’s largest known network functions virtualization OpenStack cloud deployment across five of its U.S. data centers.
The telecom giant said the deployment created a “production design based on a core and pod architecture that provides the hyperscale capabilities and flexibility necessary to meet the company’s complex network requirements.” Verizon said deployments are currently in progress across additional domestic data centers and aggregation sites; plans for international location deployments over the next several months; and expected design adoption in edge network sites by the end of the year.
