NFV, the technology to virtualize network services

What is NFV?

Network Function Virtualization (NFV), is a technology that virtualizes network services based on X86 alike hardware, enabling operators and enterprises to deploy more flexible networks and reduce overall CAPEX.

This virtualization technology

This virtualization technology integrates all computing resources together and accesses unified management with virtualization platform. By deploying virtual machines (VMs) on commodity hardware, multiple network functions can be provided for diverse application scenarios.

The benefits of NFV

·  Improve stability and interoperability
·  Replace dedicated hardware with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) server
·  Achieve resource consolidation and overall cost reduction without requiring additional hardware resources
·  Disaggregate the network functions and hardware resources to achieve software-based network functions and general hardware resources
·  Enhance the flexibility to run or adjust virtual network functions (VNFs) on various servers to test potential new services, therefore delivering network services faster with high quality
