MONTREAL – Bell has launched a cloud-based Virtual Network Services (VNS) platform for its enterprise business customers that it says is the first of its kind in Canada.
With a catalogue of on-demand network functions that reside in Bell's private cloud, Bell said that its VNS responds to customers' on-demand needs by transforming and centralizing hardware-based networks in virtualized, software-driven networks.
"Bell VNS is a revolutionary way for business customers to adapt their networks quickly and efficiently while reducing their hardware expenses," said Tom Little, president of Bell Business Markets, in the news release. "The Bell VNS service experience offers a new level of control, flexibility and automation through software-driven networks."
Bell also announced that it will be the first Canadian service provider to offer a managed SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) solution powered by Cisco Viptela, the first Virtual Network Function offered on the Bell VNS platform.
