I have written this article for DevOps.com. I am re-publishing it here. There is no doubt DevOps revolutionized software development with its introduction of lean and agile techniques. By applying continuous deployment and continuous integration methodologies into software development, enterprises can build, test and deploy applications and release new services more rapidly. In this article, […]
This article focuses on how telecom application are different than cloud native IT application, microservices approach for VNF development to achieve cloud native NFV, compares virtual machine and container based VNF deployment, benefits and concerns of using containers for VNF deployment in NFV instrastructure.
In last article, we discussed about how DevOps approach can be converged in NFV and had brief mention about application of DevOps for VNFs into NFV architecture. In this article, let’s talk about need for cloud-native Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). VNFs are software implementation of network function equipment packaged in virtual machine, on top of […]
With growing number of ‘connected’ devices, 5G technology promises to deliver accelerated connectivity to consumers along with lucrative services. But it has to compliment with automated internal operations which will speed up introduction of new lucrative services delivered through agile network.

We have seen the revolution in IT infrastructure networking with SDN and NFV in last 5 years. We are witnessing tremendous upgrade in digitization which resulted in agile and highly available network connectivity with the help of both of these technologies. Be it telecom or data center, SDN and NFV played huge role to reduce […]
We have witnessed a major drift in usage of digital technology since last 10 years. Use of number of devices has been increased along with upward shift in mobile connectivity i.e. from 2G, 3G and 4G. Now, we are moving towards 5G generation which will support every technology innovation like IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, […]
Since emergence of tech giants like Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc we have seen significant growth in communication over internet. Communication in the sense that people started to get access to whole lot of information with the basic internet connection. In last 20 years these tech giants have found several ways to have upper hand […]
What is Digital Transformation? In last 20 years we have seen the world is more connected. There is significant growth in number of devices (mobile, laptops, and wearables) connected to internet along with timely revolutions in network bandwidth and telecom network generations (3G, 4G and 5G). According to Digital in 2017 survey conducted by We […]
