Intel Network Platform System Capabilities

The Intel Network Platform is a technology foundation that can reduce development complexity, accelerate time to market and help to ensure customers and partners can take advantage of the features in Intel hardware, from core to access to edge. The Intel Network Platform takes the very latest in Intel foundational technologies such as our silicon, ethernet, memory and FPGA product lines and ensures that these are enabled with the major industry open-source projects. Intel Network Platform is and how you can take advantage of its Network Platform System Capabilities.

Intel® Network and Cloud Edge Reference System Architectures

The Network and Cloud Edge Reference System Architectures are a future-looking, foundational, Cloud Native reference system implementations aiming to accelerate private and public cloud deployments with Intel Architecture. Includes are blueprints for reference systems using optimized, validated “packages” of Intel hardware and software innovations in the form of Intel’s best-known-platform configurations, platform hardware and enabling software including open-source community project contributions, delivered using a Cloud Native deployment approach.

Reference Workloads, Usecases and Implementations

The Intel Network and Cloud Edge Reference System Architectures are supported by Experience Kits and support a library of best-practice architecture and development guidelines combining the value of Intel products and innovation for cloud networking. In addition, the learner can access some reference workload and usecase application guidelines as reference implementations best practice guidance for the Telco Cloud Transformation journey. Gain flexibility, mitigate risk and speed time to deployment with our proven ecosystem of 400+ network software and solution providers that have optimized on trusted Intel technology.The largest ecosystem available gives you choice as you plan your network and edge deployments, with the reassurance of thousands of tested, real-world implementations.
