Service delivery infrastructure is an integral part of how you serve your customers. And by many indications, virtual environments have the capability to provide a superior alternative to traditional delivery infrastructure. NFV and SDN technology make it possible for you to manage your network functions on a general purpose x86 based IT infrastructure, rather than having to use a purpose-built ASIC hardware system. This provides for a simpler alternative to standard hardware architecture that’s more flexible, consumes less power, makes it easier to test new apps, is lower risk and reduces time to market.
