DUBLIN, January 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — “The VNFO – Ripe for Change” report has been added to from ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.
From conventional MANO to pioneering Nephio with Kubernetes and a host of proprietary and open source projects, MANO is perceived differently by enterprises and telecom operators. Add edge computing and service orchestration to the mix and the VNFO definition itself becomes an incredibly fluid entity.
This report will remove the clutter surrounding VNFO and put hard numbers on its market size with clear inclusions and exclusions. As always, the analyst addresses a wide range of stakeholders; which becomes increasingly important when forecasting the market size of such a complex measurable as NFVO.
Strong points
The VNFO, the NFVO, the MANO or the NFO is the most fluid among the already fluid terminologies in the field of NFV. The term is often mixed up with Service Orchestrators, SDN Controllers, and even OSS/BSS. This market is a heady mix of IT virtualization, including containers, microservices, and virtual machines; cloud computing in all its glory and cutting-edge programming concepts corresponding to extremely conventional network function engineering methodologies.
Scope
- The executive summary provides insight into the market size of one of the most exciting elements of NFV – the orchestrator.
- Chapter 2, The Journey of NFV, highlights the different stages and phases of the orchestrator’s journey, from virtual machines to containers and everything in between and beyond.
- Chapter 3, Open Source Initiatives in VNFOs and Allied Areas, describes the role played by the vibrant open source community in shaping and defining the destiny of VNFOs.
- Chapter 4, Open Source Initiatives in VNFO and Allied Areas, visits the other end of the NF developer equation – OEMs and other proprietary equipment.
- Chapter 5, Telco Initiatives, examines how major telcos – major consumers of NFV have internalized and/or struggled with NFVO.
- Chapter 6, Quantitative Forecast, covers the quantitative forecast by providing inside and inside views of NFVO markets by splitting it along end-use applications. Each final application is in turn broken down by user profile, geographic region, virtualization methodology, product profile, and deployment location.
