The introduction of 5G is expected to redefine the business world by brining optimal experience in AR/VR, V2X, smart transportation, Industrial IoT, intelligent healthcare and education. All 5G-driven applications will meet time-sensitive networking, made possible by the enhanced bandwidth, distributed computing and networking at edge cloud. In the next few years, major telecom corporations will accelerate their deployments of agile, virtualized, and software-defined Multi-access Edge Computing, which will transform the traditional network architecture from legacy, proprietary devices to network disaggregation where hardware, OS and VNF components can be leveraged by various third-party vendors

Key Features

Scalable Compute Node

Up to 12x Intel® Xeon® CPU (Cascade Lake)

NEBS Compliant Design

Carrier-grade Availability and Redundancy

P4 Programmable Switch

Dual Channel, 3.2TB Switching Capability

High Storage Density

Up to 6 Drive Bays with RAID Support

At MWC 2020, Lanner and NoviFlow will present an all-in-one MEC solution that demonstrates these principles by uniting Intel scalable compute node, Intel Tofino programmable networking, and NoviFlow's NoviWare and CyberMapper programmable networking software. They will also present how this solution optimizes information flows, minimizes latency, and makes the best possible utilization of all network and compute resources, thus reducing hardware costs, operating expenditures and even energy utilization.

 

 

 

White Paper

Lanner Video Streaming Tests Show Improved Latency Using MEC

Using multi-access edge computing (MEC) servers for content delivery network functionality is a leading solution for these services because MEC promises a dramatic reduction in transport latency. To demonstrate just how big this improvement can be, Lanner, an Intel® Network Builders ecosystem member, tested video and AR streams on both a MEC content delivery network (CDN) solution and a cloud CDN solution.
