The Docker platform for Linux containers is growing fast -- but what does it mean for the ecosystem?

While the SDN market isn’t taking off as much as everybody would like, it’s being implemented in many customer deployments for key data center use cases.

With users citing container networking technology as a challenge, it opens the door for virtualization overlay technology to help.

It's the “write once, run many” principle.

The P4 language is one of several new chip technologies emerging to boost performance in NFV and bring it up to the high standards of service provider networks.

An in depth analysis of the implications of increased threats for network virtualization, cloud & security.

New technology is emerging, designed to improve performance in NFV to bring it up to the high standards of service-provider networks.

Network service chaining and service function chaining uses software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities connecting a series of virtualized network services within the same network flow.

Network virtualization for the data center promises to improve service agility, simplify network operations, and reduce capital expenditures. One of the biggest challenges for IT professionals is to quantify
