Unleashing the Power of Virtualization
The drive towards more agile, scalable, and cost-effective network solutions has never been stronger in the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.
Nokia’s Virtualized Service Router (VSR) is at the forefront of this revolution, offering a robust platform to meet the diverse demands of modern network environments. Engineered for flexibility and performance, the VSR provides an optimal solution for delivering a wide range of network services from the cloud. It aligns with the future of networking – virtual, scalable, and efficient. It offers network operators and enterprises the tools to modernize their network infrastructure, reduce costs, and improve service delivery efficiency.
Architectural Excellence and High Performance
The Nokia VSR is built on the solid foundation of the Nokia Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and is optimized for x86 server environments, which are prevalent in both network operator and enterprise settings. This architectural choice ensures that the VSR supports a broad spectrum of virtual network functions (VNFs) and container network functions (CNFs) and excels in elastic scalability, high performance, and robust resiliency.
Key features of the VSR include:
High Scalability
With elastic cloud scalability, the VSR can dynamically adjust resources to meet the fluctuating demands of network traffic and services.
Advanced Resiliency and Robustness
Leveraging Nokia’s proven SR OS, the VSR offers enhanced reliability and fault tolerance, essential for maintaining service continuity.
Efficient and Cost-Effective Deployment
The VSR’s virtualized nature allows for rapid deployment and scaling of network functions, significantly reducing capital and operational expenditures.
Wide Range of Supported Functions
Nokia’s VSR is capable of handling a comprehensive array of IP/MPLS services, which include:
Secured Enterprise Services
For robust enterprise networking, including Ethernet and IP VPN services with optional encryption.
Residential Services
Such as Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) functionalities and virtualized residential gateways.
Mobile Services
Supporting functionalities like Wireless LAN Gateways and security gateways.
IP Infrastructure Services
Including BGP Route Reflectors, Network Address Translation (NAT), and more.
Performance Optimization
To deliver exceptional performance, the VSR is optimized for multicore x86 environments, employing symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) techniques. This approach ensures efficient utilization of hardware resources, enhancing the control plane and data path performances to support high-speed services and manage large volumes of subscribers.
