Dez Blanchfield gets up close & personal with Ulf Jönsson, Head of NFVI Portfolio Strategy Management at Ericsson, to talk about Network Function Virtualisation ( NFV ). In particular, what NFV is, why it is needed, where it fits in the grand scheme of the future of modern software defined infrastructure & software defined networks in the telco & carrier service provider world. Ulf Jönsson is responsible for the NFV Infrastructure solution & product portfolio strategy at Ericsson. He has had several leadership positions in Ericsson with business and strategic product management responsibility in areas such as NFV infrastructure, Telco Cloud, SDN, and IP & Broadband. He is currently driving the next generation Cloud Native infrastructure optimized for 5G telecom applications and Edge computing. Ulf holds a master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Ulf shares insights into what the most important topics he and his team are discussing with customers currently and what their key concerns are at the moment. Also discussed is the broad topic of Edge computing, and why Edge has become a term we have become familiar with, why edge computing is needed, and Ulf elaborates on the relation it has with NFVI. Ulf also shares insights as to how much interest they are seeing from Communication Service Provider customers currently to discuss NFVI in an edge context. He also gives us an introduction to Ericsson's new Cloud Native Infrastructure Solution which is based on a bare metal architecture - a very exciting new initiative to gain maximum performance from compute infrastructure at the edge. We also discuss various key benefits CSPs can expect to see from deploying Ericsson's new Cloud Native Infrastructure Solution at the edge. Ulf also offers his views of what is ahead of us, as we look forward 12 to 18 months, and where he thinks we will be by then with cloud native, bare metal and so on, and much much more..

The amount of data that enterprises need to manage is increasing massively every year and it needs to be moved, stored and managed in more effective ways. John Majeski, General Manager of Software Solutions at Lenovo, joins Intel’s Conversations in the Cloud to talk about how Lenovo’s broad portfolio of Intel Select Solutions meets the everyday challenges of managing IT infrastructure and how their solutions are built to align with key workloads--analytics, hybrid cloud, network transformation, HPC and AI. John discusses the value of Lenovo’s select solutions—that they are fast and easy to deploy, workload optimized, and deliver an out of the box solution that is ready to go, ready to scale and provides quick time to live. In addition, these solutions use the ThinkSystem architecture, which is the foundation of Lenovo’s innovative server, storage and networking platforms. John also talks about the new solutions they are building now that will take advantage of Intel’s 2nd generation Xeon Scalable processors: SAP HANA, Microsoft SQL Server, and Red Hat OpenShift Containers. And how these solutions will provide the ultimate in workload performance, deploy easily and scale perfectly. In the coming months they will be adding more solutions that incorporate the latest Intel technology: VMware vSAN, NFVI, Blockchain: Hyperledger Fabric and Azure Stack.

Dan Rodriguez, Vice President of Intel’s Data Center Group, General Manager of Network Compute Division joins Chip Chat to talk about groundbreaking data centric portfolio of innovations optimized for network transformation. Fueled by 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and complementary platform components, communication service providers can move, store, and process data with confidence across the most demanding workloads: from multi-cloud to intelligent edge and back. Flexibility, performance and ease of use is at the heart of the network transformation efforts in the communications industry. New 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and complimentary platform components are specifically designed to deliver these benefits from core to edge, especially as companies work to collapse multiple workloads onto a single server or rack of servers. Intel brought unique acceleration optimized for specific network workloads including virtual EPC, open virtual switching (OvS), 5G user plane functions, routers, switches and VCCAP, among others. Dan also talks about the new Intel® Xeon® D-1600, which is part of Intel’s strategy to deliver the right performance, right power and right price for multiple network locations. The new solution is optimized for network edge, control plane, security and mid-range storage applications uCPE, routers, network security appliances and wireless base stations. Intel® Select Solutions are rigorously benchmark-tested, verified solutions that help accelerate infrastructure deployment on Intel Xeon processors for today’s critical workloads in advanced analytics, hybrid cloud, visual cloud, storage and networking. Dan shared details about the importance of these new data centric solutions, memory innovation and network optimizations in the evolution of Intel® Select Solutions for NFVI and the new Intel® Select Solutions for Visual Cloud Delivery Networks.

Dan Rodriguez, Intel VP and GM of the Communications Infrastructure Division, shares his thoughts on hot topics at MWC 2018. Yes, 5G will grab headlines, and its use cases will push and pull the network from different directions to meet low latency and high bandwidth requirements. Network transformation is required for these life-changing use cases, and Next Generation Central Office is a solution that delivers LTE benefits while we wait on widespread 5G rollouts. In order to prepare for 5G and fixed mobile convergence as well as handle current CAGR in video and data traffic, carriers are transforming their networks through virtualization and automation. There is significant momentum with carriers deploying virtualized devices and infrastructure, such as vCPE/SD-WAN and NFV, and they are benefitting from scalability and flexibility of these technologies. The Next Generation Central Office (NGCO) is a continuum of the network transformation journey. Intel envisions common infrastructure from central core and regional data center to the central office and edge. With common NFVI layer, they can deploy network functions in order to dynamically manage traffic. With greater intelligence, overall compute capacity and scale, CoSPs can deploy network functions closer to the edge for use cases dependent on low latency. The success of network transformation and NGCO rely on architectural consistency from top to bottom. That is why Intel has invested in new solutions, such as Intel® Xeon® Scalable, Intel® Xeon® D-2100 and Intel® Atom C3000. Intel Xeon Scalable is ideally suited for regional data centers and NGCO deployments in dense, urban environments with larger, concentrated populations and intense network demands. By comparison, Xeon D-2100 may be better suited for environments constrained by space and power typically found in suburban or rural NGCOs. Ongoing investments in the Intel Architecture will stay ahead of future, network performance requirements. The case for NGCO is here and now in the LTE environment. Intel is working with its Network Builders ecosystem to develop commercially available solutions. For more information, visit https://networkbuilders.intel.com/
