Hardware acceleration can boost adoption of network function virtualization (NFV) technology by providing a more powerful platform.
These days there’s clearly a massive amount of interest in all things relating to network function virtualization (NFV). But based on historical trends, the adoption of high-performance hardware can boost NFV adoption by providing a stronger platform for applications.
The history of computing is one balanced between hardware and software. Time and again, hardware advances have proven to be a boon to software, because the hardware innovation can mitigate the overhead introduced by new software. NFV is not likely to be any different. As SDxCentral has been covering as part of its Business Insights series, virtualization introduces a performance penalty that must be solved with hardware.
