América Móvil's Telmex is to launch cloud services for companies across Latin America, including a software defined network (SDN) and network function virtualisation (NFV) solutions in partnership with Cisco.


Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions are also included in the new cloud service, enabling customers to implement any kind of service in the cloud, without having to migrate the whole server infrastructure.

For the Software as a Service (Saas) solutions, Telmex has selected Cisco's Virtual Managed Services platform, which enables users to implement services, applications and connectivity in the cloud, with high security standards.

The multi-vendor technologies, together with SDN and NFV solutions, reduce operative expenses by up to 78%, while operation time decreases, enabling, for instance, to create a new, functional cloud application in a few days.

Cisco's security solution is to monitor the service 24/7, preventing malware and other attacks. Telmex is to control the proper working of its cloud service from its newly opened information technology operation centre. It intends to start running the new cloud solutions before the end of the month.
