Transformation Technologies for Cloud Networking

Transformation technologies for Telco Cloud Networking leverage NFV/SDN in network functions virtualization implementations and increasingly Containerized Network Functions (CNF’s) built on a microservice architecture with Kubernetes for Cloud Native deployment. This Cloud Native approach is capable of running scalable applications across Cloud deployments bringing innovation with increased operation efficiency to the Telco Cloud Infrastructure.

Network Functions Infrastructure Technologies

NFV uses standard IT virtualization technology to migrate fixed-function boxes to software applications on a Commercial off the shelf (COTS) Intel Architecture-based server. Cloud Native is a development and deployment methodology that helps organizations reduce toil and create a dynamic environment capable of running scalable apps. Telco Cloud Infrastructure enables new services and innovation with efficient and flexible technologies where Service Providers can really benefit from the TCO advantage of standard IT platforms with an open architecture to help grow the ISV ecosystem for best-of-breed Networking Applications.

Introduction to Intel® Infrastructure Management Technologies

Intel® Infrastructure Management technologies support the Hardware and Virtual infrastructure layers of the Telco Infrastructure with Intel silicon and software enabling technologies designed for Telco Cloud Networking. Our Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor platform provides the Hardware Infrastructure to deploy virtualized and Cloud Native applications, together with Intel software enablement and Open Source community innovation to ensure an excellent experience and ease of use for developers.
