Essential NfV
A 2 day training course

Description Key outcomes

Network functions Virtualization (NfV) brings many
benefits, this training course cuts through the hype and
looks at the technology, architecture and products
available for NfV.
By the end of the course delegates will be able to:
 Explain how NfV works.
 Describe the architecture of NfV.

 Explain the relationship between NfV and SDN.

 Recognise the impact NfV will have on existing

networks.
