Ciena Toolkit Applies DevOps To Control SDN/NFV NetworksBy David Ramel

#Ciena Corp. aims to give operators more control of their software-defined networking ( #SDN ) and network functions virtualization ( #NFV) systems with a new toolkit that applies D evOps techniques to simplify the process of adding new technologies and services.

The goal is to "turn over the keys" to network operators for network management, instead of having to rely on expensive professional services to provide expertise to unlock monolithic, proprietary, hard-coded, back-office software platforms when changes are needed.

To that end, Ciena introduced the #BluePlanet DevOps Toolkit, which will become available next month. By applying DevOps techniques, Ciena said network operators can more quickly introduce new on-demand, virtualized services or modify existing services or add new resources -- both physical and virtualized -- to SDN- and NFV-enabled Blue Planet networks.
