(See CenturyLink, Level 3 in Courting Stage.) Really very good match in terms of common interest in virtualization from both the ends. However I agree that it is worth watching to see both companies working thru their end-to-end network orchestration related challenges.

Isn't this cool? We people are obsessed with high speed data. This sounds promising with robust fiber network and high speed data services. I will stay tuned for more to come in coming days.

Sounds very interesting especially if we think about how this deal is adding more weight to CL's stand in the competing business area.
