OpenLab is a centre of innovation provided by Juniper, for business leaders who want to build network-integrated software applications and solutions quickly and securely. This is done by offering hands-on and cloud-based access to Juniper and third-party solutions including SDN sandboxes and NFV interoperability testing.

OpenLab provides an environment and set of resources where customers representing telecommunications, education, government, financial services, and virtually every other vertical market can explore new technologies, all in the spirit of network transformation. By examining SDN/network automation solutions such Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), and others, OpenLab offers a platform for developing and delivering new network-integrated functionality that serves the greater need.

This white paper describes the technologies used to develop this groundbreaking solution, designed to support next-generation video transcoding models while offering significant CapEx and OpEx saving.

The intent of this document is to help customers who are interested in implementing security protection mechanisms in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) domains.

This white paper from Intel and VMware introduces key NFV infrastructure (NFVI) performance concepts and issues, giving CSPs the tools they need to better understand and manage overall performance as they deploy NFV in their networks.

The network functions virtualization (NFV) revolution – where software-based services running in virtualized environments on Intel® architecture servers replace purpose built appliances – has taken communications service providers by storm.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) deployments are challenged by a lack of broadly accepted industry benchmarks to drive conformance to carrier-grade requirements.

Intel is accelerating Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) with unique capabilities that enable optimal use of data center resources to deliver communications services.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) deployments are challenged by a lack of broadly accepted industry benchmarks to drive conformance to carrier-grade requirements.

For today’s service providers and enterprises, bandwidth demands continue to increase and evolve. The introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, such as smart homes, smart cities, connected cars, and connected medical devices, is forcing organizations to change existing business models and to build more cost-effective networks.

An unprecedented level of network traffic is driving enterprises and communications service providers (CommSPs) to look for equipment that delivers greater operational agility and economics.

Just after the turn of the decade researchers are predicting there will be somewhere north of 24 million subscriptions to next generation 5G networking services. Today most of those services are little more than pilot projects. But thanks to emerging network function virtualization (NFV) software running on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) platforms enabled by Intel most of those 5G services should be in production before the end of the decade. Come learn how MEC platforms are about to transform every corner of the networking world to not only drive the creation of a vast array of new IT services, but also make networks more agile and responsive than anyone ever thought possible.

While IMS is not new, complete virtualization of IMS (vIMS) is new. Network functions virtualization (NFV) provides operators with the ability to rapidly and inexpensively deploy, configure, launch, and upgrade services, which can lead to faster time to market and lower operating costs, providing an important competitive advantage against traditional CSPs and new OTT service providers. It can also reduce the business risk associated with new service introductions. This agility allows operators to offer trials of new service offerings on a much larger scale, leading to acceleration of new revenue generation.

While holding the promise of HD quality, enriched services, and the benefits of a common packet switched access infrastructure, the adoption of infrastructure-based voice over LTE (VoLTE), along with rich communications such as video and real-time messaging, has stalled over the last few years with concerns around quality, security, and cost. During that time, the value of the phone number as a globally significant user ID and key services such as SMS and MMS have been relegated by phone manufacturers, over the top (OTT) services, and even the subscribers themselves as “technologies of last resort.” Finally, the proliferation of 4G, together with the emergence of network functions virtualization (NFV), powered by Intel®, Hewlett Packard Enterprise* (HPE), and Metaswitch*, is allowing network operators to take charge of the consumer’s communications experience, once more.

This white paper will detail the challenges in deploying SDNenabled NFV, share how the integrated DCEngine hardware and software architecture overcomes these challenges, and provide some brief case study examples showcasing the benefits of this comprehensive solution offering.

Virtualizing the IMS will bolster competitiveness for communications service providers. This Intel solution brief details how vIMS and NFV provides operators the ability to rapidly and inexpensively deploy, configure, launch, and upgrade services and provide a competitive advantage and accelerating new revenue generation.

In this whitepaper, you will see the smart city models and the keys to obtaining a smart city with SDN and NFV.

In healthcare, as the trends supporting eHealth accelerate, the need for scalable, reliable, and secure network infrastructures will only grow.

SDN deployment is not a matter of if but when—is your data center ready? This new eGuide reveals how to maximize the value of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV).

Download this white paper to see why securing the data center requires a solution that can: -Provide visibility and control over custom data center applications -Handle asymmetric traffic flows and application transactions between devices and data centers -Adapt as data centers evolve: to virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), Cisco -Application-Centric Infrastructures (ACIs) and beyond -Address the entire attack continuum: before, during, and after an attack -Integrate with security deployed across the entire network -Support geograpically dispersed inter-DC traffic and deployments, including private, public and cloud environments
