LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 10/17/13 — Metaswitch Networks was pleased this week to participate in the NFV World Showcase, a demonstration of virtual appliances, network apps, virtual machines, hypervisors and platform hardware, professionally organized and managed by EANTC AG (European Advanced Networking Test Center) in a vendor-neutral operating environment.

“We organized the NFV World Showcase to validate operational use cases for the deployment of network functions virtualization technologies,” says Carsten Rossenhoevel, managing director of EANTC. “Metaswitch-s Perimeta Session Border Controller successfully participated in our showcase, implementing the instantiation, provisioning, portability and elasticity requirements of a major carrier in a real-world NFV deployment scenario.”
“BT are pleased to see Metaswitch-s Perimeta SBC among the technologies shown in EANTC-s NFV World Showcase, and to see it working within the independent EANTC test environment,” said Peter Willis, BT-s chief data networks strategist. “BT appreciates the work of all the companies that are participating in these multivendor test beds and proof-of-concept demonstrations as it proves that NFV is becoming a reality today. BT applauds all the vendors working together to demonstrate a multi-vendor vision of the future.”
Perimeta is a software-centric solution, able to run on standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and, as shown in EANTC-s test, even virtualized in the cloud. It is a critical component in the march toward network functions virtualization (NFV) and in helping to transition network operators into true software telcos.
