ADVA's Ensemble Division Focuses on NFV

ADVA Optical Networking launched Ensemble, a strategic division and product suite focused purely on network functions virtualization (NFV). The division combines the software engineering capabilities of ADVA Optical Networking and the NFV portfolio of its most recent acquisition – Overture.

“What we’re announcing here isn’t simply a new division or a combined product suite. It’s our stake in the NFV landscape – a signal to our customers and to the industry that we’re making something special,” said Brian Protiva, CEO, ADVA Optical Networking. “Even at this early stage of the ADVA Ensemble solution, it’s clear we can now offer our customers something no one else in the industry can – freedom of choice. However they want to implement NFV, however they want to develop their network – we can do it. Our Ensemble software architecture and our open hardware solutions enable our customers to select best-of-breed elements of our portfolio or tightly integrated end-to-end solutions. Our customers see this as truly compelling. When we said we were creating an NFV powerhouse with our Overture acquisition, we meant it. The ADVA Ensemble product suite is the first big step in our journey.”
