In this presentation, Sean Chen shared Huawei's vision on NFV MANO products. As a result of years of telco experience, heavy R&D investment, as well as close collaborations with various customers, Huawei has strived to deliver an open platform that can be tailored to fit different customer's needs. Service agility recently has become the #1 driver for NFV adoption. Huawei's MANO products can help service providers to continue to deliver carrier-grade network services while enjoying the power of NFV.

Customer’s PoC Use Case
 VNFD to deploy vUGW whose format is
based on TOSCA and enhanced by
Huawei’s semantic definition. Vendor N
provided the information of deployment,
while Huawei made the VNFD file.
 Vendor N’s VNF can be deployed without
any modification.
