Introducing 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors – Delivering 5G Network Performance Made Flexible

Imagining an infrastructure that supports diverse network demands while also evolving to meet new 5G use cases? Imagine no more. The 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors are here to deliver the capabilities to support the most demanding workload requirements.

The 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors offer a balanced architecture with built-in acceleration and advanced security capabilities. Optimized for cloud, enterprise, AI, HPC, network, security and IoT workloads, this new generation of processors comes with 8 to 40 powerful cores and a wide range of frequency, feature and power levels, and supports a wide range of our ecosystem’s solutions.

Intel’s latest platform also includes Intel® SGX, which helps protect data and application code while in use from the edge to the datacenter, to the multi-tenant public cloud, enabling enhanced collaboration using shared data without compromising privacy. In addition, Intel® Crypto Acceleration increases the performance of encryption-intensive workloads including SSL web serving, 5G infrastructure, and VPN/firewalls. Learn more on the 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® capabilities here.

 

 

New Intel® Select Solutions

Intel announced updates to its network workload-optimized solutions, which offer pre-tested and verified configurations that accelerate development time and simplify infrastructure deployment. Brand-new Intel® Select Solutions for virtualized RAN (vRAN) leverage years of software enhancements in Intel’s FlexRAN reference software.

Additional upgrades were made to the Intel® Select Solution for Visual Cloud Delivery Network to help accelerate a range of use cases, from video on demand to live streaming and live transcoding, as well as upgrades to the Intel® Select Solution for NFVI Forwarding Platform, which is purpose-built for high throughput packet processing workloads.

Introduction to a Cloud Native Data Plane with Kubernetes CNI

The needs of the data plane in a Kubernetes environment continue to evolve, and we have seen that many Cloud Native Functions require higher performance than offered by conventional networking solutions. To achieve the performance needs of these applications while continuing to support abstraction from the physical network interfaces a framework called CNDP (Cloud Native Data Plane) is described. A key part of this is to support the existing Kubernetes abstractions such as CNI (Container Network Interface), and to be based off of Linux network driver interfaces. Comparisons to existing alternatives will also be addressed. – June 2

 

 

Intel® Network Builders University Announces Three New Courses

Creating Reusable Design Blocks with Intel® Quartus® Prime Software

As FPGA designs get larger and more complicated, intellectual property (IP) is often used to help reduce time-to-market. Including IP allows designers to improve existing designs and create new ones. But what if you want to create your own IP? This training is for the IP designer who wants to create high-quality, easily-reusable IP based on Intel’s own methodology for designing reusable IP for use in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
