require carrier grade, open standards based NFV
solutions that are extremely reliable.
“CSPs want the beneits of cloud computing,
while meeting their rigorous reliability,
performance and management requirements,” said
Saar Gillai, senior vice president/COO, HP Cloud
& general manager, NFV, HP. “HP and Wind River
are collaborating to provide a fully integrated and supported HP Helion cloud solution for carrier
grade NFV, enabling CSPs to leverage the agility
that the over-the-top providers possess. We
will also work together to enhance OpenStack
technology to help ensure it evolves to meet carrier
