Next Generation Central Office
Data Center at the edge.
The Next Generation Central Office (NGCO) based on Intel® architecture provides scale, flexibility, and agility to deploy new telecommunications services while saving costs and protecting infrastructure investments.1
Implementing a High-Performance BNG with Intel® Universal NFVI Packet Forwarding Platform Technology
Running on servers with optimized NIC and CPU configurations, vBNGs can reduce the cost-per-bit and improve return on investment (ROI), helping CoSPs cost effectively transition to NFVI at the edge.
Learn more on how netElastic and Intel have worked to maximize vBNG performance and offer seamless scalability on Intel® processors used in standard OEM and telecom equipment manufacturer (TEM) server designs.
NGCO Architecture Ready for Prime Time
As edge compute ramps, Intel and Quanta Cloud Technology* (QCT) continue to work with different VNF partners to integrate, validate, and optimize their telecom workloads through seamless Next Generation Central Office (NGCO) collaboration. The ever growing list of partners, and their enthusiasm to participate in the NGCO ecosystem suggest great potential. We expect more solution partners to join the NGCO ecosystem and its network transformation journey. Learn more about the proposed QCT* NGCO solution here.
Path to a Cloud-Native BroadBand Network Gateway (BNG) with Kubernetes*
Network operators gain the additional ability to reduce platform power consumption during periods of low network activity in order to lower operating expenditures (Op-Ex).
Using a virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) reference application/use case, Intel has successfully demonstrated how Kubernetes* capabilities can enable vBNG pods to attach directly to a single root input/output virtualization network virtual function (SR-IOV VF) via the SR-IOV device plugin. In addition, the CPU Manager for Kubernetes* (CMK) enabled workloads to be assigned to specific CPU cores, enabling containerized Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) to fully utilize the underlying infrastructure for low-latency, high-performance use cases.
Rethinking How Virtualized Network Functions Are Created and Deployed
With customer data traffic estimated to grow significantly in the next several years, future networking solutions must show a path to solving tomorrow’s data compound-annual-growth-rate (CAGR) issue in a cost-effective and scalable way. Pushing the boundary of performance requires the latest and greatest technology along with deploying this technology in a holistic and easy-to-use way.
Read more on a set of design principles recently proposed for taking solutions based on Intel® architecture processors and network functions virtualization (NFV) to the next level of performance and network automation.
