Enterprises need to keep their customers’ Quality of Experience (QoE) high, create better offers and solutions, and control their operational cost. The network infrastructure that supports their business needs to be able to adapt, align with their strategic objectives, and support the technologies that deliver value. A legacy access solution based on single function physical devices does not have the flexibility and agility needed. The evolution of the network edge to enable Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) is the best approach to guarantee that any functionality required from the network can promptly be deployed, any change done quickly, and the network is ready to adapt.
