In June 2013, Blue Orbit was formed to demonstrate
interoperability among SDN and NFV solutions from an array of
partners to lessen the risk network operators would otherwise face
and accelerate the delivery of production SDN and NFV use cases.
Blue Orbit partners provide applicable solution elements to Cyan’s
California-based Blue Orbit Lab. From this facility, Cyan, Blue
Orbit partners and customers are able to test and demonstrate the
deployability of SDN and NFV solutions.

“Scaling SDN and NFV deployments increasingly requires that
network operators push virtualization to the network edge and even
inside the customer premise. And the deployment benefits from edge
virtualization are substantial: Increased feature velocity, reduced
capital and operating expense, and the unlocking of new
service-based revenue streams. ADI Engineering is pleased to
collaborate with industry leaders including Cyan and Intel to
deliver targeted, cost-optimized, immediately deployable
NFV-enabled edge devices to network operators, service providers,
