Ericsson to Automate Cloud Execution Environment (CEE) for NTT DOCOMO

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has been selected by NTT DOCOMO, INC. to automate the deployment of Ericsson's virtual infrastructure manager (VIM) solution, Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment (CEE) based on OpenStack, at commercial sites in Japan. The deployment will rapidly improve installation, sanity testing, and deployment times for Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVi).

The Fulfillment-OSS NFVi Provisioning solution will significantly reduce manual CEE deployment time and will enable end-to-end and efficient project implementation across NTT DOCOMO's network function virtualization platform system.

Automation will facilitate shorter time to market, quicker responses to customer needs and much lower cost. Automation will also substantially reduce commercial network deployment risks compared to traditional ways of working.

Chris Houghton, Head of Market Area North East Asia, Ericsson, says: "Cloud automation is rapidly gaining attention among service providers as they address their digital transformation needs. We have worked very closely with NTT DOCOMO in their NFV engagements to date, so we have a great deal of insight and understanding, as well as the technical and innovative leadership to drive their cloud automation provisioning."

The provisioning will be launched in Q3 2018
