NFV

What is Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)?

NFV allows network operators to manage and expand their network capabilities on demand using virtual, software based applications where physical boxes once stood in the network architecture.

This makes it easier to load-balance, scale up and down, and move functions across distributed hardware resources. With continual updates, operators can keep things running on the latest software without interruption to their customers.

Insights

To be ready for IoT, 5G and Industry 4.0, operators need to get onboard with NFV today. Here's how first-movers are gaining market traction with NFV.
