An exciting ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) 5G use case that is not always associated with the hyperscale ecosystem is Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). This oversight is not surprising with self-driving vehicles grabbing headlines and exceeding expectations. The hyperscale data centers anchoring 5G services from distant locations are not as visible, but they still provide essential […]
With a minimum of five thousand servers on a ten thousand square foot or larger footprint, hyperscale data centers are continually challenged by increasing bandwidth, storage, computing power, and speed requirements. The rapid scalability that defines hyperscale computing can only be accomplished through a combination of new hardware (horizontal scaling) and improved performance of existing […]
The status-quo of early 2020 no longer exists for the corporate network. The pandemic threw a wrench into the architecture and network operations that businesses had relied upon. The ongoing transition has necessitated and accelerated changes for people, processes, and technologies. I recently took part in an executive roundtable with Bloor Research and members of […]
The cloud offers businesses a tantalizing vision of cheaper, faster, and more agile computing. However, the advent of global, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments has presented IT operations teams with a radically more complex infrastructure to manage. It has been ten years since Amazon first revealed that every 100 milliseconds of network latency cost them 1 […]
5G cloud, let’s demystify it What do we mean by the cloud? What are the different types of cloud environments? What parts of a telco business and network can be moved to the cloud today, and what are the possibilities for the future? VIAVI demystifies the cloud… In part I of our two-part blog, we […]
5G cloud, let’s demystify it: Part I What do we mean by the cloud? What are the different types of cloud environments? What parts of a telco business and network can be moved to the cloud today, and what are the possibilities for the future? VIAVI demystifies the cloud… Q: What links an online bookseller, […]
Virtual environments have been critical for many of us over the past year. The office as a physical space – not just for employees but a place to host servers and hardware – is diminishing in importance. Employees have been able to access applications and collaborative working tools wherever they’ve been working, reducing our […]
Telcos and hyperscalers join forces to tackle connectivity 5G is here, and with it the promise of a range of new use cases that rely on ultra-low latency and ultra-reliable networks. In order to be able deliver on these performance requirements, networks are pushing processing power closer to the end users, to the edge of […]
“We will be able to achieve new levels of operational automation, flexibility and adaptability.” This is how Verizon described the networks of the future. Or, to be more specific, this is how the company described its new cloud-native 5G core network, which it says will be launched in 2021. The quote isn’t just a salesy […]
The demand for fast, flawless network connectivity continues to expand across the globe as our world becomes increasingly digitally interconnected. High-speed 4G and 5G networks provide instant access to data-intensive apps, games and videos on billions of devices across the world, while the Internet of Things (IoT) allows them to seamlessly interact with one another.
