5G deployments continue their upward trend and will soon be the dominant mobile wireless protocol deployed in North America. The ecosystem is gathering valuable information from these deployments, and one area of focus is the transport network. As part of 5G’s evolution, key architecture components are being separated and distributed to the cloud in ways that make 5G more scalable and flexible. Meanwhile, bandwidth demands continue to increase at the same time applications and services require low latency. New requirements are presented to the transport network at each step of an operator’s 5G journey. The transport infrastructure of today must be flexible to adapt to upcoming requirements as it enables new architectures, tools, and ultimately, 5G networks innovation, monetization, and performance. The fundamental goal of the 5G transport network is to deliver transparent connectivity that allows both present and future functions to work together seamlessly.

When it was introduced, MPLS was an ideal option for organizations that ran multiple business-critical applications at multiple locations. Operated and managed by a single carrier, MPLS converges voice and data traffic over connections that are isolated from the public Internet, while offering rudimentary control over applications.

With cloud adoption at 96%, 81% of enterprises working with a multi-cloud strategy, and organizations using, on average, five different clouds (CIO.com), it’s clear that we live in a hybrid, multi-cloud world. The industry-wide demand for continuous innovation, the maturing of digital transformation initiatives, and the emergence of DevOps as the de facto development methodology for enterprises of all sizes, have brought us to this point. On the one hand, these trends have resulted in remarkable and rapid advances in technology. On the other hand, they have introduced monumental levels of complexity into the practice of IT infrastructure management.

Growing demand for remote working solutions in light of the pandemic is bolstering the case for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) adoption. In this white paper, we discuss why VDI is best suited for today’s business environments, especially since remote work is poised to play a big role both now and in the “new normal” of a post-COVID-19 world. We discuss VDI’s main advantages, its shortcomings and what can be done to address them.

Servers are the backbone of modern IT infrastructure. They support the computational requirements of the entire application portfolio of an enterprise organization. However, their life span is finite. A new generation of servers performs much better than its predecessors. Still, is this outperformance worth it?

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.
