The fundamentals and concepts of Evolution Platform

Evolution Platform​

Evolution Platform offers a software-defined and NFV-based POP 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 “service management”).

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.

Cloud connectivity​

As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, they face the challenge of connecting and integrating disparate cloud environments. Cloud Connectivity with Evolution Platform allows businesses to connect on demand to one or multiple cloud service providers (CSPs) via secure, and high-performance connections from an Orange Business POP.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)​

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is designed to streamline and secure user access across organizational resources. By deploying advanced policies and technologies, IAM ensures that the right individuals gain the appropriate access to critical resources at a granular level, safeguarding the digital environment against unauthorized access and potential security breaches.

Orange Business Points of Presence (POPs)​

Orange Business Points of Presence (POPs) are worldwide software-defined and NFV-based POPs utilising Orange infrastructure to house computing and telecommunications systems, enabling virtual network functions and network services to be hosted, combined with a high performance and low latency connectivity capabilities to private network, internet, cloud services providers and partners using Orange Business’ Global Tier 1 Backbone.
