Cloudify NFV Orchestrator for Optimal Performance
1 like1,305 views
This document discusses the need for environment-aware orchestration to optimize virtual network function (VNF) performance in NFV environments. It outlines the challenges of ensuring performance, scalability, and predictability for data-intensive VNFs across diverse infrastructure platforms. The document introduces Cloudify as an orchestrator that leverages topology, workflows, and policies from the TOSCA standard to provision, configure, monitor and manage VNF blueprints and service chains in an infrastructure-aware manner. It provides an example use case of deploying an OPNFV vIMS solution using Cloudify to optimize performance through capabilities like SR-IOV and DPDK.
