A practical approach to validating Virtualized Networks enabled through SDN and NFV

The technology landscape has evolved radically in the last few years and virtualization has been a godsend to organizations that are looking to drive down their capital and operational expenses while being able to respond to market needs much faster. Interestingly though, while Computing and Storage have progressed leaps and bounds by tapping into the potential of Virtualization, it is only now that Networking seems to be catching on in a major way. Owing to the massive growth in user traffic due to ubiquitous ‘digital transformation’ occurring across various industries, global communications service providers are buckling up to improve customer experience by addressing this demand for data with large scale investments in network scalability.

Wi-Fi 6E and Future-Proofing Wireless Infrastructure

whitePaper | May 23, 2023

The future of wireless networking needs will continue to grow. Location based services, sensors, and IoT devices will continue to be added to wireless networks. Expanding and new uses of Wi-Fi that require high performing connections like AR/VR, AI/ML, and new technologies we don’t even know about yet will compete for wireless network resources. Finally, all the standard uses we currently associate with Wi-Fi like video and voice calls, streaming services and cloud hosted applications will continue to bring more devices to wireless networks with increasing traffic demands.

VMware TCO Comparison Calculator

whitePaper | March 11, 2020

Definitions and Objectives In evaluating the cost of a virtualization and private cloud solution, it is essential to use a metric that not only accounts for the cost to acquire the software and the physical infrastructure it requires, but also includes the time and effort needed to operate the solution. Because centralized management is a fundamental component of any virtualization and private cloud deployment, hardware and software costs associated with related management products.

3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processor Selection Guide for VDI on Cisco UCS with VMware Horizon 8

whitePaper | December 22, 2021

Choosing the CPU for enterprise applications is not an easy task, whether you use a simple quick calculation to determine your needs or perform exhaustive capacity planning with analytical model simulations for workloads and their future growth. Often, lack of details (or inaccurate information) about the input data and the workload type leads to uncertain estimations about the rightsizing of the hardware (CPU type, core count and clock speed, memory capacity, etc.), leading to suboptimal resource utilization.
