Optimized NFVI-ready Network Platform for Carrier-grade Virtual Network Security

Lanner Blog — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 03:13:01 +0000

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a new network architecture concept that uses IT virtualization technologies to decouple network functions, such as router, firewall, network address transition (NAT), and domain name service (DNS), from proprietary hardware appliances so that they can run as software on general purpose network platform. NFV aims to help telecom service providers obtain...
