In 2014, companies and open source programmers alike are working as hard as they can to virtualize hardware into software. The latest example of this is Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The ...

Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) represents a paradigm shift in the design and deployment of network services, decoupling software implementations of network functions from specialised hardware.

For decades, networks have been built on the same fundamental principle: dedicated hardware appliances for each network function. Need a firewall? Buy a box. Need load balancing? Purchase another ...

The network team is being bombarded with configuration requests that can take days or weeks to handle, but luckily several approaches are emerging that promise to increase network agility, chief among ...

Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) (SDN and NFV) are hot topics. They are clearly related, but how exactly are they similar? How are they different? How do ...

The National Science foundation will be doling out research dollars for innovations in software-defined networking, network function virtualization, cloud computing, analytics, more. The National ...

Collaborating with network service providers, hyperscale companies, and network equipment manufacturers, Dr. Levi Perigo’s research vision is to enhance networks by making them more programmable and ...
