The VNFO, or the NFVO, or the MANO, or the NFO is the most fluid among the already fluid terminologies in the NFV domain. The term often gets intermixed with service orchestrators, SDN controllers and even OSS/BSS. This market is a heady mix of IT virtualization, including containers, microservices and VMs; cloud computing in all its glory and cutting-edge programming concepts matching wits with the extremely conventional network function engineering methodologies.

Dissecting this market is that much more difficult, but we did it!

Insight Research has profiled 23 solution providers and 25 telco operators in the report, including the following:
