Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are rapidly deploying virtual and cloud native IP edge networks to enable better resource utilization, faster service scaling, and more automated operations.
This webinar will investigate the performance and scalability of virtual services routers (VSRs) deployed on CSP edge infrastructure. With a focus on the provider edge (vPE), cell site routers (vCSR) and security gateways (vSecGW), the session will explain how VSRs can be deployed across diverse silicon, server hardware and software infrastructure platforms.
Among the other topics covered in this webinar include:
- Importance of platform agnostic VSR applications
- Deploying and operating VSRs in the public cloud
- Integration between vDU and vCSR in mobile networks
