Overview
The exploding use of mobile apps is creating a critical business challenge for network operators: how to accommodate rapidly growing network traffic while remaining profitable. Simply throwing bandwidth at the problem is not an option. To optimize bandwidth consumption, operators need more information about the traffic flowing on their networks. Software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and deep packet inspection (DPI) could hold the answer, and suppliers are building solutions based on industry-ready and flexible components. This webinar explores how SDN and NFV are changing network architecture, enabling key functionality like DPI to be widely and economically deployed. It also looks at the use cases for SDN and DPI and their potential benefits.
