For the past several years I’ve started the year with a post looking back on how service provider voice is moving away from legacy approaches to a radically new solution we call the cloud voice platform (see last year’s Service Provider Voice – On the Road to the Cloud).
Heavy Reading released The Future of Virtualization Index Report this week giving a readout on the network virtualization evolution across three dimensions: planning, deploying, and investment status. Planning is in full swing, but deployments are rare. Cloud-sourced NFV can accelerate that actualization.

Start-ups always have the zeal and faith that what they are doing is right, helpful, and transformative. It’s nice when that vision gets validated by analysts and press, especially critical, show-me-the-proof ones. I’m very pleased that Alianza has received that recognition from Light Reading.
