Highly Efficient Edge Cloud Data Center for 5G
Power, cooling and real estate are the key constraints for Edge Clouds but they should not be met at the expense of performance and efficiency. What if we could build high density micro data centers for the edge cloud without sacrificing performance and efficiency? Sounds too good to be true? Come and learn about data plane acceleration!
Nokia and Mellanox have teamed up to create an integrated edge cloud infrastructure supporting "switch on SmartNIC" offloading for Virtualized and Containerized infrastructure. This solution boosts the network performance by an order of magnitude. Specifically, SDN using overlay networking such as VXLAN can be completely offloaded. Not only can we terminate tunneling on the edge cloud servers, but we can also switch traffic between various VNFs/CNFs, apply ACLs and much more.
This review session covers the design, performance, and benefits of a high performance and efficient edge cloud data center.
