Following this agreement, they will combine VMware's 5G Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) platform for Open Stack with Tech Mahindra's network services to enable CSPs to accelerate the deployment of new services, deliver new opportunities, and improve IT.
 
CSPs need to deploy new and differentiated services more quickly in an on-demand model, which means activating services where and when subscribers want them, minimizing capital expenditure. This will allow telecom service providers to redesign their services and business models.
 
As part of the collaboration, Tech Mahindra has incorporated VMware vCloud NFV into its Virtual Network Function (VNF) Xchange program. VNF-Xchange is a vendor-neutral platform designed to accelerate the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) and NFV in the telecommunications industry. The platform integrates NFV, components of the NFV reference architecture, and end-to-end solutions.
