How Netcracker became the first business cloud nutcrackerJanuary 17, 2019Already known for the innovative capabilities that propelled its cloud and SDN/NFV ascension over the past decade, Netcracker, a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation, never rests on its laurels and keeps pushing the envelope. This time around, though, the bar was lifted very high. Netcracker has developed and launched a new cloud-based service that essentially includes everything the company has in its OSS/BSS product and services offering. Named Business Cloud, the platform leverages Netcracker’s cloud-based SDN/NFV and IT portfolio—from VNFs to orchestration, OSS, BSS, portals, and a digital marketplace—and offers the complete set as a service to whoever needs to build a cloud infrastructure to turn up new digital services.

Operator Survey: Smart central offices to be in 85 percent of service provider networks this yearJanuary 25, 2018In 2018, 85 percent of operator respondents plan to create, or will have already deployed, smart central offices — that is, installing servers, storage and switching to create mini data centers in selected central offices. These mini data centers are used to offer cloud services, and as the network functions virtualization (NFV) infrastructure on which to run virtualized network functions (VNFs) such as vRouter, firewall, CG-NAT and IP/MPLS VPNs.

On the Extreme Edge, a Double Triple: AT&T Domain 3.0 and Google Cloud 3.0June 22, 2017The “software-defined” focus of telecom means not only separation of the control plane and the data plane with a centralized view of the whole network or its major parts but also a distribution of intelligence—read compute—in stepping stones toward the extreme edge of the network. We hear “edge compute” embodied in such efforts as MEC, at first in “Mobile Edge Compute,” morphing into “Multi-access Edge Compute”.Subscribers Only

Nokia Pursues Web Scale with Next Gen Routing SiliconJune 20, 2017Moving contrary to current popular belief—that the future evolution of networking is fully open and software defined—Nokia comes to market with an unapologetically hardware-oriented launch of its newest generation of routing silicon and purpose-built high-performance routers. With this announcement, Nokia signals its ongoing commitment to developing high-performance routing and switching hardware for its traditional base of service provider customers while also putting an increased focus on the web-scale Internet Content Providers (ICPs).

NFV and SDN Extend to Enterprise Sites: New $750M uCPE Market EmergesApril 21, 2017As operators plan to extend their virtual network environments, we are on the cusp of a lucrative new market for universal CPE (uCPE). A uCPE is a physical device providing a “pico cloud,” (compute, storage and switching) capable of running virtualized network functions (VNFs) such as virtual firewalls, virtual WAN optimization appliances, SD-WAN, VLANs, and other functions delivered as managed services.

Cloud-Native Mobile Core: E2PC ≠ EPC 2.0February 07, 2017In 3G, mobile core was very bulky and complicated. When designing LTE, the 3GPP tackled the complexity by collapsing several functions and simplifying the overall architecture that was renamed evolved packet core (EPC). It was actually Starent Networks, acquired by Cisco in 2009, that pioneered the design of a purpose-built packet core platform from scratch involving more and more software rather than repurposing existing router components to make a GPRS gateway support node (GGSN), paving the way for what is now compact EPC mainstream.

Service Provider Consumption Models: New Ways to Buy Software and Hardware in a Virtualized World and More Questions than AnswersJanuary 17, 2017Over the past 2 years, I’ve been talking to operators and vendors about how they’re going to buy, consume, and sell software and hardware going forward. I usually get only general answers from vendors, and I reported some of these options for vRouter software in a series of client notes in 2014-2015. But to be fair, consumption models are certainly in a state of flux or, better said, are developing along a number of tracks, each to serve a different purpose or satisfy a service provider need.

Cisco Embraces Web-Scale Players and Plans White Box Switch AlternativesAugust 23, 2016This July, I attended Cisco C-Scape, where we were able to learn more about Cisco’s strategy and business from key company executives, as well as discuss the role of the network and the broader global market. C-Scape is a targeted analyst event taking place during the larger Cisco Live 2016 event held in Las Vegas on July 11-12. Cisco Live hosted more than 28,000 paying Cisco customers and partners, who could choose from 100s of training sessions to learn about new Cisco technologies and products and visit Cisco partner exhibits and meet other customers. The exhibition hall was much larger than many of the focused SDN/NFV conferences I usually attend.Subscribers Only
