“The capabilities within Lumen’s Adaptive Virtualisation Services portfolio are strongly differentiated by its built-in Cloud Applications Manager. This provides customers with flexibility for deploying uCPE applications, agility for delivering VNFs efficiently when and where they are needed and mitigates the DIY complexity of managing multiple vendors. It also offers zero-touch provisioning capabilities that are mission critical during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“Lumen already has nearly a decade of operating experience with commercial NFV [network functions virtualisation] services. Lumen took important learnings from NFV to make Adaptive Virtual Services cost-efficient and open to hosting third-party software, both aspects that are key to enterprises.”
