Why each option
The Cisco and Red Hat NFVi solution combines Cisco UCS for compute, Cisco Nexus for networking fabric, and Cisco VNFs as the virtualized network services running on the Red Hat OpenStack platform.
Cisco Prime Service Catalog is a self-service IT ordering and fulfillment portal and is not a component of the NFVi compute, network, or virtualization infrastructure stack.
Cisco Open Virtual Switch is not a recognized Cisco product in the NFVi portfolio; virtual switching within the NFVi environment is handled by software components embedded in the OpenStack deployment.
Cisco Nexus switches provide the physical network fabric including underlay and overlay networking needed to interconnect compute nodes and external networks within the NFVi infrastructure.
Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System) serves as the high-performance compute and storage layer that hosts the Red Hat OpenStack environment responsible for orchestrating and running virtual network functions.
Cisco Open Container Platform is designed for containerized Kubernetes-based workloads and is not part of the NFVi solution built on Red Hat OpenStack for network function virtualization.
Cisco Virtual Network Functions are the actual virtualized network services such as virtual routers and firewalls that execute on top of the NFVi infrastructure composed of UCS compute and Nexus networking with Red Hat OpenStack as the management and orchestration platform.
