With traditional network infrastructure, services have been tied to dedicated hardware devices. Network functions virtualization (NFV) changes this paradigm by decoupling the network functions from the underlying hardware platform.To date, NFV has been used primarily by service providers for service chaining, but recently digital enterprises have become interested in the technology. ZK Research (I am an employee of ZK Research) data shows that 61% of organizations are investigating or have deployed Enterprise NFV.
