Networking
NFV and SDN
As the epicenter of new business opportunities, edge applications and services are enabled by network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) with end-to-end service orchestration. To promote software innovations, Intel is working with others throughout the industry on a range of initiatives.

Network Edge Ecosystem for Intel® Network Builders
This initiative is focused on accelerating network edge solutions. It spans multiple use cases and highlights the industry leaders who are facilitating development, deployment, and adoption of edge-centric technologies.
Learn how a hardware-accelerating Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT) frees up processor cycles to:
- Encrypt information across networks
- Offload compute-intense security protocols
- Support a more secure throughput
Extend the Cloud to the Edge
An innovative platform for services, applications, and connected devices, 5G networking offers many improvements over 4G wireless networks. Intel® technology is the foundation for your 5G software-defined infrastructure.
Infrastructure
SDN and NFV offer the ability to create seamlessly connected, powerful, and intelligent 5G-ready networks in the cloud, core, and network edge. SDN and NFV technologies provide the flexibility, scalability, and cost advantages required to enable delivery of greater bandwidth, lower latency, and edge compute capabilities that are essential for 5G use cases.
