In Business Network Services the Industry Has Reached an Inflection Point

• The cost of developing + deploying purpose-built appliances is unsustainable

• Use of general purpose processing and common software infrastructures provides superior economics on a sustained service deployment basis

• Advances in general purpose processors have made common platforms for diverse network + application workloads feasible

• Developments previously constrained to be functioning in a closed OS and software environment can now be done on a shared processor infrastructure and a common software underpinning

• Rise of cloud-native software designs has made service + application delivery more agile

Edge Computing matters

Enables computing services to reside at the edge of the network as opposed to servers in a data-center

Edge computing must deliver benefits that a centralized data center or centralized cloud cannot offer.

Use cases: Smart Cities, AR/VR, Connected Cars, DevOps, Industries 4.0

Low Latency: The edge must provide latency in milliseconds

Data Reduction: Enables local Cache and CDN and Optimized Analytics

Leverage Context awareness: The edge has access to radio network, user and location information

Security: CSPs can protect their networks against attacks from user equipment (UE) using edge applications
