CURSO NFV – Network Function Virtualization Architecture and Principles

Ayscom en colaboración con Apis-IP Solutions organiza el curso NFV – Network Function Virtualization – Architecture and Principles  durante los días 23, 24 y 25 de Octubre en la Sala de Formación de Ayscom. Trasmitiremos nuestra experiencia a través de teoría y casos prácticos.

CONTENIDO: Este curso está diseñado para estudiantes que quieran adquirir un conocimiento detallado sobre la arquitectura NFV, sus fases de desarrollo,  su relación con la SDN y la tecnología  cloud. Las diferentes partes (MANO, NFVI y VNFs) se explicarán en profundidad. Se realizarán diferentes ejercicios y casos de tráfico.
