ZTE, China Telecom complete vBRAS full decoupling test

ZTE and China Telecom have announced that they have completed a vBRAS full decoupling test in the CTNet2025 laboratory of China Telecom. Based on 3-layer decoupling, the full decoupling further decouples NFVO (Network Functions Virtualization Orchestration) from VNFM (Virtual Network Function Manager) to implement integrated deployment and orchestration of multiple vendors and multiple VNFs, ZTE said. The test involves the items of vBRAS service functions, performance, reliability and lifecycle management.

ZTE uses its ZXR10 V6000 vBRAS product to complete the cross-connection test with all virtualized cloud platforms from other vendors. It also finishes the connection with TeleNOS (Telecom Network Orchestration System), the NFVO system developed by China Telecom Beijing Research Institute to achieve the decoupling of VNFM and NFVO. China Telecom also uses TeleNOS and ZTE VNFM to implement one-button vBRAS instance creation and automatic scaling.
