New Technology to Hasten Vodafone Idea’s Data Core Network rollout Vodafone Idea is pioneering the cloud implementation and is deploying the largest integrated cloud platform for its IT and network applications. To implement the multi-cloud network technology the telco has partnered up with Cisco to use a distributed multi-cloud architecture based on Cisco Network Functions Virtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI). With the help of this tech, the telco will be able to achieve a nationwide deployment at record time. As per the telco’s claim, the technology has fast-tracked Vodafone Idea’s Data Core Network rollout, increased capacities, and helped reduce costs as Cloud implementation is now done in just 72 hours with the same cloud being used for both IT and Network applications. Deployment of Cloud Infrastructure Will Now Happen Under 72 Hours The new multi-cloud network will also help Vodafone Idea’s innovation and will equip the operator in catering its customers growing needs with agility. The lean architecture design is brought to life with Cisco solutions comprised of CiscoVIM for NFVI management, Cisco Ultra Packet core and Policy, 3rd party VNFs (Virtual Network Functions), Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) – the industry-leading intent-based data centre solution, Leaf-Spine Architecture and Cloud Security. Together with Cisco Customer Experience teams, Vodafone Idea Limited ensures that the deployment of cloud infrastructure is done in less than 72 hours. Kishen Mangat, vice president and general manager, Mobility Business Group, Cisco said about this new move, “Our work together has helped to advance Vodafone Idea Limited India’s rapidly growing data traffic over many years, and we look forward to our future networking transformation.”
