BENGALURU, INDIA: Wipro has launched managed service offering for verification, validation and performance tuning of telco clouds (VEVATO).

The service will be available globally to network equipment providers and communication service providers embarking on their SDN/NFV-enabled cloud transformation journey.

The collaboration between Red Hat and Wipro is aimed at accelerating the adoption of SDN/NFV and open source technologies in the telecom industry and offering confidence to CXOs on the telco-grade performance of software-defined infrastructure.

Darrell Jordan-Smith, Director, Communications, Media Vertical, Red Hat, said, “Red Hat and Wipro have long collaborated to bring enterprise- and telco-grade solutions to customers. As media and telco companies embrace NFV technologies to help reduce infrastructure costs and time to market and enable a much higher degree of automation, the managed service will enable customers to test their cloud solutions against a strong combination of IT technologies that are coupled with capabilities designed with the needs of carrier-grade applications in mind.”
