Virtualization

Faster service creation at the network edge

The days when service providers had to visit customers for service upgrades are now a thing of the past. Today, edge cloud replaces dedicated hardware with virtual network functions (VNFs). Instead of mounting another box on the customer’s premises, an additional piece of software can be remotely installed in an instance. Field engineers no longer need to spend hours provisioning and testing. Now, automated processes, combined with software on open servers, enable communication service providers to rapidly deploy services, scale service capacity, or roll out new services at scale.


More value from your network resources


Nowadays, real-time provisioning based on network load metrics is the most effective way to optimize existing resources. Software-defined networking is all about having complete visibility of network resources and allocating them on demand. This empowers communication service providers to make the best use of their infrastructure and offer network as a service (NaaS). Open interfaces enable instant service activation across network layers and vendors, allowing resource bottlenecks to be identified and empowering network expansions. Intelligent algorithms can even self-heal network failures, improving reliability and uptime.



Run your AI loads wherever you need them
