The Smart Edge™ multi-access edge computing (MEC) solution utilizes virtualized servers powered by Intel® processors. The technology provides mobile network operators (MNOs) with a low-latency edge cloud services architecture that can deliver new enterprise services and reduce network operating costs.

With the Smart Edge™ multi-access edge computing (MEC) appliance powered by Intel® processors, MNOs can provide next-generation mobile data services and applications. Computing at the network edge provides a fast response for users and enables carriers to offer new services while reducing mobile backhaul traffic.

To accommodate growth in IP-based video traffic, Orange works with leading vendors on CDN service with a virtualized PoP architecture. In a successful trial, across the operator’s production network, a virtualized CDN solution from Akamai is orchestrated by Ciena’s Blue Planet* on top of Red Hat* OpenStack* infrastructure and networked via Juniper Contrail’s* SDN running on Intel-powered servers.

The retail industry is going through a transformation from analog brick-and-mortar venues to digitally enabled, immersive customer experiences. As part of this change, retailers are looking to differentiate themselves from the competition and from online shopping. That means retailers will need applications that facilitate greater in-store customer responsiveness and enhanced engagement.

Intel Select Solutions for Genomics Analytics, developed by Intel and the Broad Institute, is based on the BIGstack 2.0* reference architecture, and delivered by Intel solution providers. The solutions provide a five-times overall performance improvement running GATK 4.0 compared to previous versions of the genomics software, and they reduce setup time for deploying an infrastructure to accelerate genomics workflows.

Intel Select Solutions for Simulation and Modeling consist of a pre-validated selection of components designed to meet the demands of HPC applications and workflows. These systems provide the capabilities needed to support a range of different workloads and reduce or eliminate the need for multiple single-purpose systems. The performance of key system characteristics are verified at both the node and cluster level.

Sanctum Networks’ Jupiter* lets service providers better manage data flows throughout a customer network. Jupiter is a software defined networking (SDN) controller and orchestration platform that utilizes software agents to distribute SDN visibility and programmability.

The placement of VNFs on servers can have a significant impact on performance. Intracom Telecom’s NFV Service Assurance Platform discovers ideal server placements for each VNF and then monitors performance and energy consumption, utilizing data provided by Intel® Xeon® processors.

Vision Edge OS software running on Intel® processor-powered Edgecore® open switches creates a network packet broker (NPB) supporting up to 10 Gbps throughput. This cost-effective solution can be deployed throughout a data center for widespread visibility into security and network monitoring issues.

This solution brief highlights Ammune Defense Shield, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based self-learning cyberdefense system from L7 Defense* that reacts quickly to protect against extgeneration scripted or artificial intelligence (AI)-based cyberattacks. These attacks can evolve faster than humans can respond, but Ammune starts quickly and changes its defenses to match changes in the attack.
