Intel Chip Chat

Glenn Seiler, vice president of cloud and SDN strategy at Wind River Systems, chats about network function virtualization (NFV), which he sees as the biggest game changer of the last few decades in the telecom space. It is changing the way networks are architected – moving from silos of network elements to multiple network elements running as virtualized software. He also discusses the launch of the Intel® Highland Forest platform for communications service providers, consisting of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v2 and the Intel® C8955 communications chipset, benefits of the new platform, and what that means for telecom service providers.

Sandra Rivera, director of market development for the Communications and Storage Infrastructure Group at Intel, stops by to talk about recent network transformation in the communications industry from fixed-function hardware to open, manageable solutions. She also discusses the Intel® Network Builders program, which is committed to providing reference designs and architectures, and the launch of the Highland Forest platform for communications service providers, consisting of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v2 and the Intel® C8955 communications chipset.
