Service Providers are embracing a new deployment methodology for telecommunications network infrastructure that moves functionality from proprietary hardware to virtualized, software-based applications deployed on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers leveraging the latest in virtualization technology. This is known as network functions virtualization (NFV). Why this disruptive change, and why is this approach technically possible now? This white paper will discuss:
• How NFV makes sense as a way to eventually supplant current proprietary hardware-based deployment approaches
• The benefits Service Providers can hope to attain from NFV
• How Service Providers should phase their Virtualized Network Function (VNF) implementation strategy to take advantage of cloud-centric benefits
• How Dialogic has been developing solutions that align with service provider initiatives in this space
