Networking

The Network Edge 

Accelerate your application for the next generation of edge solutions.

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.
