Last week at Mobile World Congress was incredibly busy and there were many compelling announcements. In case you missed it one that we're especially excited about was about how Light Reading commissioned the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) as an independent party to validate Cisco's Cloud Managed Business Solutions.

This study is truly groundbreaking as it's the first effort of its kind to evaluatevirtualization, orchestration, NFV (Network Functions Virtualization), cloud, SDN (Software Defined Networks), breadth of features, openness and versatility.

A number of Cisco service provider products and solutions were provided to EANTC for the purposes of evaluation. These included the Evolved Services Platform (ESP), Evolved Programmable Network, collaboration, and the recently announced Mobility IQ.

Join Light Reading and EANTC on Thursday, March 26 at 11:00 am New York / 3:00 pm London time for a webinar covering the highlights of the report and what it means in terms of helping service providers drive profitable business outcomes. Registration details for this webinar are here.

In the meantime, please check out the video to learn more about why Light Reading decided to conduct this test and the impact for service providers.
