“Growing Adoption of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV)”
- Enterprises are increasingly shifting to SDN and NFV to reduce dependence on rigid hardware and enable greater network flexibility
- Virtual routers offer dynamic scalability and allow organizations to tailor routing functions based on evolving performance or policy needs
- The ability to deploy routing functions as virtual machines (VMs) enables cost savings and ease of deployment across hybrid cloud environments
- Telecom operators are leveraging NFV-based custom routers to quickly launch new services and manage massive data traffic
- For instance, Cisco’s NFV solutions enable customized virtual routing, helping telecom operators such as Verizon streamline services without heavy hardware investments
