Fundamentals

Evolution Platform​

Evolution Platform offers a software-defined and NFV-based POP (Point Of Presence) infrastructure designed to enable cloud-like experiences for WAN edge-to-cloud connections. These include on-demand delivery of a broad catalog of VNFs, service automation, as-a-service commercial models and digital service front ends (portals and APIs).

You can compose your project with network-related bricks, security (choose level of service, define your policy, choose a provider) and cloud connectivity to the main cloud market players. You may also require à la carte services depending on the level of accompaniment you wish at the start (build mode) or on the run at each stage of your journey (see section “Professional and Digital Services”).

The Platform is designed to provide a consistent, reliable, and secure experience worldwide, facilitating the digital transformation of customer businesses and integrators. To learn more display Evolution Platform presentation on Youtube.
