Cloudify Your VNF

August 15, 2018

VNF Onboarding is known to be one of the biggest challenges in the transformation to NFV transformation as noted in one of the recent SDxCentral report: VNF Migration challenges. Arguably the biggest challenge organizations will face when it comes time to operationalize VNFs is a lack of processes. Many IT organizations are in the throes of managing complex transitions to modern DevOps processes. The typical network service team has no operational processes in place for deploying and managing VNFs. On top of that, add the need to secure those VNFs and make sure they meet compliance mandates and it could be several years into the next decade before VNFs are commonplace.

The Third Wave of the Internet

whitePaper | August 5, 2021

The third wave of the Internet is marked by substantial growth of more mobile, powerful, intelligent, and automated devices on the emerging edge network. In this environment, IT and OT will be converged and contribute to the increasing volume of data creation. This growth will outpace the growth of the core infrastructure capacity and create congestion points in the end-to-end application delivery chain, causing massive latency. Delay will bring near fatal blows to system stability and the application experience. Security challenges will also increase significantly. These conditions require a new approach—one centered around holistic application distribution and based on a different set of technology design principles. This is the essence of the Edge 2.0 era.
