Communications Infrastructure Applications

Overview

Communications networks are stressed, driven by consumers demanding richer content anytime, anywhere. To handle this explosive traffic growth, network service operators require equipment that delivers higher throughput, while being more cost-efficient, flexible, scalable, and secure. Intel is helping equipment suppliers satisfy these requirements by driving a transition that enables service providers to deliver new revenue generating services at lower cost.

The foundation is Intel's 4:1 workload consolidation strategy—where Intel® processor-based platforms execute multiple workloads (application, control, data plane, and signal processing) simultaneously. These communications platforms deliver remarkable throughput, boosting packet processing performance through the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK).
