Net Insight to share its view on Network Function Virtualization at NAB 2016
Service providers are actively looking for ways to avoid being reduced to a "bit pipe" - delivering a commodity service with diminishing value. A software-defined network with customer and application provisioning solves this issue. It allows customers to decide where and when they need connectivity, and enables service providers to develop innovative pricing models, such as pay-as-you-go. However, to truly move up the value chain this is not sufficient.
Virtualized network functions (VNFs) that run in software, on standard hardware platforms, allow for the addition of network and media functions to an existing network without installing or replacing existing hardware. This enables media companies to adapt more quickly to changing market requirements and changing customer needs. Functionality can be added and upgraded, without site visits, without CAPEX investments in new hardware, and without complicating networks with diverse equipment.
" A customer and application provisioned network built using NFV technology provides a simple, converged network infrastructure, on which new services can be quickly introduced where and when needed, " said Martin Karlsson, CTO and vice president product portfolio at Net Insight . "With standard software and hardware the possibilities to expand with value added functions are endless. This, enables media networks to provide connectivity and value added services that adapt to each and every customer, on-demand and in real-time, delivered from one single platform. From basics like format conversion and monitoring to more advanced encoding and beyond."
As part of its vision for NFV, Net Insight will showcase its new software-based Nimbra MSR prototype and a flexible Media Processing Module for its existing Nimbra MSR portfolio at the show.
