Intelligent Networking: If you use carrier-grade as your design-point you realise there are a lot of enterprise segments you can tackle as well, such as financial services, Sandra Rivera explains to Martyn Warwick. She talks about how she’s glad that infrastructure is getting its turn in the limelight this year at MWC;  how important IoT […]

Intelligent Networking: With 23 NFV proofs of concept and a growing partner ecosystem, HP is demonstrating to communications service providers the value and viability of NFV solutions. Having access to the open source and open software community is also benefiting providers and network operators, as work continues on defining the necessary NFV frameworks and standards.

Intelligent Networking: The new foundation being established for dynamic service chaining builds on the technologies that underlie SDN and NFV. The blueprint offered by the Intel Open Network Platform Server reference architecture provides a commercially viable way—based on SDN—to create catalogs of network resources and associated policies abstracted from the hardware. Dynamic service chaining extends […]

Intelligent Networking: NFV is a clear trend and will profoundly change the telecom industry, Leo Ma tells Martyn Warwick. The hardware is being de-coupled from software and Huawei is ready to embrace this new principle with Fusion Engine, but telecom performance requirements must be considered. The first requirement in this new world is to be […]

Intelligent Networking: ETSI is playing a fundamental role in the development of NFV standards, ensuring interoperability between device vendors and collaboration with other industry groups. As work progresses during the ninth NFV meeting in Prague, TelecomTV asks the ETSI Director General about the accomplishments to date and his expectations for the adoption of the the […]

Intelligent Networking: Ericsson has partnered with Intel to add software and hardware to enable highly governed, secure and hyperscale cloud, as part of a transition to software defined networking.

Intelligent Networking: This paper outlines an approach for Service Assurance in an SDN/NFV world that enables more open and deterministic service deployment and resource usage.

Software Defined Infrastructure: The journey of cloud architecture evolvement combined with cost saving consideration and how we do the trade-off based on limited resources to finally achieve an Enterprise level high availability OpenStack production with low cost.

Software Defined Infrastructure: This paper presents the market drivers behind the need for an accelerated video cloud and discusses the implications of technologies such as OpenStack* and other open source platforms in the context of a move towards SDN/NFV network architectures. Real life example applications then give context to the performance and financial benefits outlined […]

Software Defined Infrastructure: You are a cloud user who wants bare metal for performance forging the security benefits of virtualization. All the OpenStack services, such as, Nova, Keystone, and Glance, all run on bare metal.
