Service providers and enterprises are on the journey to transform their networks using NFV/SDN. As they progress along this path, many are adopting a cloud-native architecture while beginning to transition their networks to 5G. During this transition, companies are continuously challenged to maximize performance as they deploy NFVi on standards-based hardware.
In this webinar you will learn:
- Analyst view of 5G demands on successful NFVi deployment
- How programmable acceleration can enhance the performance for 5G and NFVi
- What SmartNICs are, and how they can be utilized across the network
- How HCL’s NFV Acceleration software products for SmartNICs solution improve network performance while lowering your TCO by up to 35%
