Ready for Telco Cloud Partner Program
VMware actively cooperates with multiple VNF vendors including all key NEPs, having them certify in the VMware Ready for Telco Cloud program. This is a comprehensive certification program that ensures interoperability and operational readiness between third-party-developed VNFs. The program helps ensure that CSPs can rapidly onboard and deploy multi-vendor VNFs with VMware's Telco Cloud Infrastructure. VMware Telco Cloud Automation leverages this program to certify interoperability with network function vendors, offering a neutral and pre-tested end-to-end MANO solution.
