Stay connected to technologies, trends, and ideas that are shaping the future of the workplace with the Intel IT Center.
FAST FORWARD TO YOUR <NEXT>
Join us at a virtual event on July 11, 2017 to learn about the latest advancements for building future-ready data centers and networks.
Why Transformation Is Critical
The scale and scope of the change required to unleash the full potential of 5G-capable networks is unprecedented. It requires an end-to-end transformation based on a new generation of highly agile, open, and programmable “cloud-ready” architecture that is both scalable enough to handle next-generation performance demands with extreme efficiencies and agile enough to develop and deploy new services with “push-button” ease. Verizon is an early adopter and active ecosystem partner on the path for transformation, as explained by Chris Emmons, Verizon Director of Network Planning.
The Path Forward for Network Transformation
Host Jim St. Leger, Data Plane Software Product Line Manager at Intel, tackles some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities in transforming the network.
Network Builders
Intel® Network Builders accelerates the adoption of NFV and SDN solutions in telecommunications networks and public, private, and hybrid clouds. It’s supported by a collaboration among independent software vendors (ISVs), operating system vendors (OSVs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs), system integrators, and communications service providers.
The Key Ingredients to Successful Network Transformation
Transforming complex networks requires a new look at both hardware and software components, and how they interoperate. Intel® technology provides the underpinnings for successful deployment, management, and growth.
Building a Cloud Ready Network
Virtual and SDN cloud-ready networks based on open- and industry-standard infrastructure are transforming services, and greater intelligence is being extended to the network edge.
4:1 Workload Consolidation
Intel servers can run four primary workloads across every network infrastructure: applications and services, control plane processing, high-performance packet processing, and signal processing.
Open Network Standards
Open source solutions are changing the networking landscape, playing a key role in the ongoing transformation of network architecture and deployment.
Network Maturity
The Service Provider Network Maturity Model provides a framework for service providers to prioritize activities, measure progress, and benchmark against best-in-class developments.
Customer Success Stories
Explore how network transformation leaders envision, plan, and deploy critical service, performance, and IT management upgrades.
