We’ve all heard about the primary benefits of NFV technologies: scalability, agility and automation, to increase time to market for our products and services. But what other benefits have emerged since MWC 2015? Miniature cloud-based replicas for deploying a steady flow of innovation into a live network can be a challenging concept to wrap your head around. Darrell Jordan-Smith, Worldwide VP of ICT at Red Hat and John Healy, General Manager of the SDN Division at Intel join us in the studio.

Solving telecommunications and enterprise use cases is what Dave Neary, SDN and NFV Community Strategist at Red Hat is setting his sights on. Open source and open platforms allows developers to take their source code to the service market and scale that service.
-
Moving from network lock-in to open source for NFV is partly due to do the work of Jeff Baher, Sr. Director of NFV Solutions at Dell and Chris Wright, Chief Technologist at Red Hat. Supporting software-defined networks for storage, compute and network capabilities on an open network platform has new requirements. Telcos are more than willing to welcome an open cloud platform for network communications and to further explore the benefits of open source for NFV solutions.
-
The service reliability by operators is independent of the reliability of the hardware, said Dave Neary, NFV Community Strategist at Red Hat. Neary joined Current Analysis’s Vice President of Consumer and Infrastructure, Peter Jarich as TIA NOW’s Abe Nejad moderated a panel on the importance of "five 9s" reliability for operator services - for manageability, reliability and security.

Margaret Chiosi, President of OPNFV and Distinguished Network Architect at AT&T, talks with Abe Nejad at TIA NOW about why “you can’t afford to not participate” in the advancement of the open source community.
-
The President and Chief Executive Officer of ClearPath Networks, Cliff Young, spoke with TIA NOW’s Abe Nejad about Virtual Network Function as a Service for operators as vCPE is leveraged to monetize NFV, being the fastest-growing NFV use case.
-
Virtualized compute and storage are far ahead of network virtualization, but why? Sandra Rivera, Vice President and General Manager of the Network Platforms Group at Intel, talks with TIA NOW about the climate of the open source community for Network Functions Virtualization. Rivera also offers up some real world examples of the power of NFV and why the open source approach to NFV is the quickest path to reducing the bottleneck in the network.
-
TIA will soon launch the first US-based, vendor-agnostic testing ground for NFV experiments, demos, and proofs of concepts, to facilitate industry collaboration for virtual network equipment and software. TIA’s CTO, Franklin Flint, spoke with TIA NOW about how the NFV lab will function and ultimately lead the industry for NFV interoperability testing.
-
Gee Rittenhouse, Senior Vice President & General Manager of the Cloud and Virtualization Group at Cisco tells TIA NOW’s Abe Nejad about the digitization of our businesses. From the Internet of Everything to the virtualization of our networks, these technologies will allow enterprises to fully digitize their IT infrastructures, making the end game more profitable and efficient.

TIA’s CTO Council Industry Panel with telecom industry leaders was filmed following TIA’s CTO Council meeting and preceding Dell World 2015 in Austin, TX. The panelists from Dell, Ericsson, Intel and Juniper Networks discussed the future of IoT and NFV on next-generation networks.
-
Hassan Ahmed, Chief Executive Officer of Affirmed Networks tells TIA NOW how the CAPEX and OPEX benefits are just two of the drivers for NFV technologies. Ahmed adds that NFV has moved beyond the packet core and now into the IMS and Wi-Fi access space.
