Bandwidth demands continue to grow exponentially and network operators consistently report the need to accelerate innovation cycles and reduce costs across targeted parts of their network infrastructures. One approach is to leverage open white box systems to drive further innovation and cost reductions. Over the past few years, hyperscale data center operators have applied this […]
The Multicore Challenge to Embedded Systems Programming: How to scale with Maintained Performance and Determinism
Multicore technology causes a significant disruption to the embedded software domain and introduces a great challenge to the entire software industry. Much of the existing software needs to be modified to achieve deterministic performance scalability on a multicore processor. 4G wireless network base band processing is a typical example of where scalable multicore solutions are […]
Single-Lambda 100G: Enabling 400GE Data Center Networking
Insatiable demand from Internet Content Providers with hyperscale data centers for network bandwidth is pushing 400GE as the next speed. Cost-effective deployment of 400GE in the data center will require single-laser solutions with PAM4 modulation. By leveraging existing fiber infrastructure, single-lambda 100G solutions enable quadruple face plate densities while providing the flexible deployment model required in […]
Model driven Network and Device Management (NDM) for Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and IoT services
As today’s telecom functions and IoT services shift to a cloud infrastructure, carriers and service providers have set new requirements for these services and network functions to be delivered as VNFs. These VNFs must be fully managed and capable of providing an integration with third-party MANO (Management and Network Orchestration) architectures. Functionality that has traditionally […]
Get on the Fast Track to NFV
Communication service providers know that evaluating, purchasing, developing and deploying an NFV solution can turn into more than just a lengthy process; it may also prove to be a very costly endeavor. All the more so if a solution which runs perfectly on data center servers now needs to be spun up and executed on […]
Model-Driven Device Management & Control for Cloud, NFV/SDN, IoT, Appliance & Carrier-Grade Deployments With NETCONF & YANG
With the rapid convergence of technologies such as telecom, cloud, IoT and NFV, the need for more capable and heterogeneous device management solutions has become significant. While early standards such as SNMP, coupled with CLI and web interfaces, still remain relevant, a much richer set of functionality is needed in terms of scalability, security and […]
Next-Generation Platforms for Telecom Cloud Services
Telecom services are shifting to a cloud infrastructure in which new services can be rapidly provisioned by deploying virtual network functions (VNFs) instead of physical boxes. This dramatically reduces the operating cost of carrier networks and allows carriers to invest in new infrastructure as revenue grows. This webinar explored the benefits of deploying a telecom […]
Making NFV a Reality in 2015 – The Hardware / Software Architecture of the Virtual Base Station
NFV promises to revolutionize telecom network architecture and the landscape, from core centers to wireless communication itself, by enabling the centralization and virtualization of the mobile base station. Not only does this new concept enable scalability and agility, it also promises to slash the cost per sector compared to what it is today. In this […]
What Operators Haven’t Told You About C-RAN – Its Disruptive
The evolving dynamics of wireless services require a new approach that reduces MNO capital and operational expenditures. Cloud RAN (CRAN) comes into the scene as a MNO-driven initiative to reduce the cost of wireless services. CRAN is based on implementing the concepts of network function virtualization (NFV) to the radio access network (RAN). This decouples […]
Scalable Device Management for Telecom, Network, SDN/NFV and IoT devices
Whether you are building a high end router or deploying an IoT sensor network, a Device Management Framework including support for new standards such as NETCONF/YANG and Web Technologies such as Representational State Transfer (ReST) are fast becoming standard requirements. Next generation Device Management Frameworks can provide substantial advantages over legacy SNMP and proprietary frameworks. […]
