What is NFV?
NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) From:Coupling of hardware To:Decoupling of hardware
and software and software
NFV uses IT virtualization technology to
Operator A B C D E
consolidate many network equipment types
Decoupling
onto industry standard high volume servers,
switches, and storage, which could be located
in data centers, network boundaries, or end
Openness
user premises. The network functions are
implemented by software and executed on
physical servers. The industry standard high
volume servers could be migrated, instantiated, Simplifying

NFV Development Background
At the end of November in 2012, 13 Tier-one operators (including AT&T,
British Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Italy Telecom, Telefonica,
Verizon, Vodafone, and CMCC) establish the ETSI Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) Industry Specification Group (ISG).
