As we move further into a future filled with endless intelligent devices and systems and ever-increasing connectivity, one of the biggest challenges faced will be the threat from cyber-attacks,...
Service function chaining (SFC) is one of the essential functions in a service provider environment. Traffic in data centers passes through various middlebox functions like firewall, Intrusion...
The comparison between cellular technologies and Wi-Fi is not new. It started with 3G, and with each new generation of cellular technologies providing higher throughput, the discussion of whether...
What is Intel Tofino that every switch passionate loves? Intel Tofino is an intelligent Fabric Processor (IFP) or a programmable switch ASIC. This next-generation ASIC offers a flexible, open, and...
What is an edge server? Edge server refers to the servers that run compute resources closer to the user, i.e., the network's edge. Edge servers facilitate low latency services because of their...
So, you finally decided to go for a white-box solution. This is a good decision. White box networking has become very popular of late because of the promise of disaggregation, software innovation,...
So, you are looking for an SD-WAN CPE and want to know if a universal CPE (uCPE) or a purpose-built SD-WAN CPE is the right choice? You will find a lot of choices in the market. It is better to know...
Let’s not forget about edge computing security risk as we talk about new business potential of edge for telcos Admittedly, edge computing is innovation and a new revenue enabler for telcos. It opens...
If you are building an edge cloud data center with traditional switches, you need to re-think, as this may not be the most efficient and innovative approach. For example, there has been considerable...
Thinking of deploying Edge Platform in Mobile network? More specifically, an all-in-one MEC platform that can host diverse applications, starting from IoT to gaming, from 4G/5G core to RAN...
As Service Providers move more and more towards softwarization and move away from hardware centric solutions, a question may arise: Does a purpose-built hardware CPE has any place in all this? After...
Edge computing, 5G and the emergence of new ultra-low latency sensitive services for MEC (Multi-access Edge computing) have shifted the way telcos are perceiving their mobile networks. They see edge...
