Keys to NFVI Components Selection
In the move to the telco cloud, there are some crucial considerations in NFVI components selection. -
What are the Top NFV Risks for Carriers?
In the move to the telco cloud and NFV, there are a number of risks associated with implementing a fully virtualized system. -
Scaled Down Hyperscale for Enterprise
Not everything has to be hyperscale. IT departments are looking at different models of modeling to the cloud, using NFV technology and microservices for different levels of scale. -
The Many Paths to Carrier NFV
Many operators view the shift to the telco cloud and NFV as a series of steps that require careful planning, not a wholesale rip-and-replace. -
Operational Keys to Carrier NFV
We shouldn’t think of NFV as merely porting a cloud to the telcos. We need to understand that true NFV won't happen until we connect all the entities involved -
The Long Road to the Telco Cloud
Big technology shifts like cloud take at least 10 years. That’s why the shift to the telco cloud, led by NFV, will require at least a decade of patience. -
Inside the Telco NFV Cloud
The telco NFV cloud has different characteristics from the enterprise cloud – with a higher emphasis on reliability, connectivity, and specific applications. -
Inside NFV Business Transformation
The key to success of NFV will come soon as operators evaluate the benefits of the NFV business transformation in early rollouts including vCPE. -
Why Security Performance Will be Key in NFV
The data center is driving toward a more software-centric security model and security performance in NFV will be key. -
