Hello, everyone.
I'm Purvi Thakkar from Intel.
In this video, I give you some insights
into Intel Select Solutions for the network which
provide consistent building blocks that
deliver deterministic performance for real network
workloads.
Data is exploding, as billions of device
start connecting with each other.
And there are requirements for new business and use models,
along with higher speeds, greater capacity, and lower
latency.
For this reason, network transformation to 5G is key.
Intel's comm service provider customers
are moving to replace their fixed-function hardware
infrastructure with software-defined networks
and network function virtualization technologies.
This enables them to build smart networks that span from cloud
to core to access to the edge.
Intel enables every aspect of the 5G value chain.
By collaborating with the ecosystem partners,
the comm service providers, and industry groups,
Intel is driving the development of capabilities
and networking component standards and intelligence.
Intel Select Solutions for the network
enables this 5G strategy by using all our expertise
to accelerate the network transformation journey.
There are currently three Intel Select Solutions
available for the network, NFVI, UCPE, and visual cloud delivery
network.
Customers want to virtualize the network
to gain flexibility, agility, and scale,
but it can get challenging with the complexity involved
in the provisioning of newer services and workloads.
It is a balancing act between the objectives
and the advantages that the comm service provider
customers want to achieve.
Intel Select Solutions for the network
are intended to solve this problem.
Key benefits of investing in an Intel Select Solution
are simple, simplified evaluation,
fast and easy deployment, and workload-optimized performance.
Intel Select Solutions provide recipes, ingredients,
and methodology in the form of reference designs
targeting a specific workload.
Intel works closely with the independent software
vendors to ensure system-level optimization
from the hardware to the firmware to the software,
including the BIOS and other settings.
The reference designs include a base configuration
to balance price and performance and a plus configuration
to unleash maximum performance.
Some of the reference designs may come with a controller node
configuration to take care of a multi-node clustered
configuration requirement as well.
Intel Select Solutions for NFVI provide consistent building
blocks to address NFVI workloads, like virtual run,
virtual BNG, virtual IMS, virtual EPC, and so on.
It is a new, more balanced dual-socket configuration,
with Intel Xeon scalable processors
and Intel Quickassist technology being the hero features.
It comes in three, flavors open Ubuntu, Red Hat,
and Fusion Sphere.
Intel Select Solutions for UCPE provides a recipe
to address UCPE workloads, like as SD-WAN and edge services.
It is a single-socket Intel Xeon D processor design,
with Intel Quickassist technology
and available in Ubuntu and ADVA ensemble connector flavors.
Intel Select Solutions for visual cloud delivery network
are derived from the NFVI solution
that targets CDN workloads.
It is a dual-socket configuration, with Intel Xeon
scalable processors, Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory,
and Intel Quickassist as technology
as its hero features and helps address
CDN needs to be more open, agile, and cloud like.
Consider using Intel Select Solutions for the network
when responding to RFPs or revisiting the comm service
provider infrastructure requirements.
They help to right size the infrastructure footprint
with respect to service-level agreement requirements
for rigorous NFVI use cases or workloads.
To summarize, Intel Select Solutions for the network
provide you the recipes to build standard servers
with tested configurations of leading software and system
components designed to deliver consistent performance
for real network workloads.
