Network infrastructures are shifting from physical systems to virtual functions, and this requires a new class of network appliance that provides high-performance processing, balanced input/output (I/O) and hardware or software acceleration. Software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) are changing the way networks and services are provisioned. This new virtualized infrastructure requires a combination […]
Multicore Processor Survey: 2017 Market Outlook
In the rush to virtualized network applications using software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) the importance of multicore processors and packet processing is often missed. Multicore processors are used in many networking systems including routers, switches, network appliances and server-based platforms used to support virtual network functions (VNFs). Multicore processors, including integrated multicore […]
400G Packet Processing Required
High-speed packet processing is a key requirement for the latest telecom systems based on network virtualization. A significant number of companies are already using 100G packet processors and many will require 400G packet processors within the next year or two. Software compatibility and low power consumption are also key requirements making this combination the challenge […]
Data Center Drives 400G
Hyperscale and large data centers will need 400G connections to support rapidly growing server input/output (I/O) as the combination of higher server density and a shift to 25Gbit/s drives server I/O bandwidth per rack to 5 Tbit/s. Cloud service providers are already planning 400G deployments and expect widespread use of 400G within data centers by […]
400G Components Come Out of the Shadows
Global data traffic continues to grow at more than 20 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and this is fueling demand for 400G connections. The growth in global data traffic is largely driven by businesses and individuals accessing cloud services through mobile devices and fixed-line connections. Hyperscale data centers operated by a wide range of […]
5G World
Simon Stanley will be at 5G World on Wednesday 29th June 2016. With LTE now deployed in nearly every major market, operators, vendors and consumers are already looking to 5G to help deliver the services expected in 2020 and beyond. 5G World 2016 will bring together telecom operators, solution providers and IoT specialists, to help […]
Come & Talk Components at BCE 2016
This year’s Big Communications Event (BCE) in Austin, Texas, will include a Components Track dedicated to the semiconductor, optical and platform components enabling the 4G/5G virtualized wireless infrastructure and data center interconnects up to 400G. We are seeing major changes to the mobile network infrastructure. The industry has moved from 2G/3G networks to heterogeneous networks […]
OCP Drives Telco Data Centers & the New IP
The Open Compute Project (OCP) and the shift to virtualized functions using SDN and NFV is driving a complete change in the architecture of telecom data centers and telecom infrastructure. Rack-scale architectures, modular servers and rack-mount appliance platforms are the leading COTS solutions for the New IP infrastructure being developed today. These platforms are replacing […]
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 […]
