Best Practices for Network Neutrality

June 25, 2018

Massive investments in Internet infrastructure by communications service providers (CSPs) have enabled consumer Internet traffic to grow at 40% per year in mature markets, and at even higher rates in developing markets. Yet, despite these efforts, capacity bottlenecks still appear. The simple fact is that to keep Internet access affordable, infrastructure must be shared in an oversubscription model. No amount of capacity expansion can completely eliminate congestion, so CSPs must find additional means of preserving fair access and high quality of experience for their subscribers. These solutions are broadly referred to as traffic optimization, a subset of which is called traffic management. Increased regulation, broadly referred to as network neutrality, places requirements on how CSPs can manage their networks, and often place disclosure requirements around the management techniques

EMERGING TRENDS IN WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE

whitePaper | November 30, 2022

5G, the fifth-generation cellular technology, is being deployed around the world. 5G is a transformational technology designed to provide significant flexibility and support a variety of use cases. This paper describes the emerging infrastructure trends of wireless networks for 4G, 5G, and beyond 5G. These trends provide even more opportunities to service providers for network deployments, network customization, and network optimization. These key trends include (i) spectrum trends, (ii) densification & coverage extension methods, (iii) virtualization and cloudification, and (iv) network customization and intelligence.

Intelligent Edge & Private Networks Center of Excellence

whitePaper | December 13, 2022

The Accenture-Cisco Center of Excellence is an international center integrated with ACIC+ and its catalogue with a hub in Rome in the Accenture Cloud Innovation Center and one in Milan, in the Cisco Cybersecurity Co-Innovation Center as well as a Demo Center at Equinix’s datacenter ML5. The Center will leverage Market leader software-defined solutions for DC, WAN and LAN, Security for both corporate and industrial sites, to establish, based on Equinix Fabric and network edge catalog, a direct and low latency cloud interconnection through its resilient facilities to main cloud providers (MAG). The benefits of having Equinix in this architecture are numerous in terms of lower IT costs thanks to consumption-based billing, faster time-to-market and rapid innovation that supports large scale-up with fluid and real-time service enablement, plus monitoring from a single portal.

ScaleN: Elastic Infrastructure

whitePaper | September 19, 2022

Emerging data center models are based on flexibility and non-disruptive, on-demand scalability. Infrastructure must not only support these capabilities, but be able itself to provide these same benefits and capabilities. F5 ScaleN is a breakthrough in high availability and scalability, offering the robust capabilities required to enable multi-tenant solutions, elastic applications, and infrastructure for any environment.

Infrastructure Protection Best Practices

whitePaper | December 14, 2022

In the post-pandemic world, we spread data everywhere. As remote and hybrid workforce models become the norm, multi-cloud deployments evolve into the de facto computing standard for distributed workloads. This expands the attack surface well beyond the walls of a traditional data center and overextends already understaffed security teams. As a result, organizations struggle to combat the growing number of insider and outsider threats targeting their invaluable digital assets.
