NFV Training, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Training Course for Non-Engineers, NFV Introduction, Benefits, Enablers, Challenges

NFV Training, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)  covers all aspects of IT virtualization technologies, virtual machines running different software and processes, applied to consolidate network equipment types with standard high volume servers, switches and storage components.

Learn how Network Functions Virtualization is transforming the way that network operators architect networks.  Explore how evolving standard IT virtualization technology is used to consolidate many network equipment types onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage, which could be located in Datacentres, Network Nodes and in the end user premises.

NFV training shows you the implementation of network functions in software that can run on a range of industry standard server hardware, and that can be moved to, or instantiated in, various locations in the network as required, without the need for installation of new equipment.

The objective of NFV is to taking the physical networking devices commonly used today including switches, storage, routers, load balancers, firewalls, IDS, cloud computing infrastructure, etc. and virtualizes them in much the same manner as servers.

NFV decouples the network functions, such as network address translation (NAT), firewalling, intrusion detection, domain name service (DNS), and caching from proprietary hardware appliances so they can run in software

NFV training  shows attendees how to translate the classic network appliances to software modules running on high volume servers with high volume storage, interconnected by generic high volume switches and automatically orchestrated and remotely installed. NVF training also covers the integration with Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies, OpenStack and other frameworks.
