Highlights from Big 5G Denver 2019
At the Big 5G event in Denver last week, Intel unveiled new projects and alliances that will drive further innovation in the Intel Select space:
ADVA announced that Intel has added Ensemble Connector as part of its Intel Select Solution for universal customer premises (uCPE). Ensemble Connector is a carrier-class virtualization platform equipped for automated deployment at scale. As part of the Intel Select Solution for uCPE, it will help to accelerate service provisioning, streamline management and reduce costs. With its embedded cloud, Ensemble Connector provides NFV infrastructure and offers several key benefits for uCPE, including platform security, zero touch provisioning and access to Ensemble Harmony, the market’s largest ecosystem of VNFs. Ensemble Connector running on Intel architecture in an optimized configuration gives customers a best-in-breed hardware-software solution that is pre-integrated and ready to deploy.
To learn more about Adva’s Ensemble Connector, see the blog from Prayson Pate, Adva’s CTO.
Highlights from NAB 2019
At NAB 2019, Intel unveiled new projects and alliances that will drive further innovation in the Visual Cloud space:
Intel and Netflix* joined forces and delivered Scalable Video Technology for AV1 (SVT-AV1), a highly efficient next generation AV1 codec, optimized for Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors into open source. SVT-AV1 addresses a broad range of use cases from VOD to Live streaming of 4K content in AV1 (first in the industry) making AV1 commercially viable.
Intel also announced a new project called Open Visual Cloud; a set of pre-defined reference pipelines for various target visual cloud services. Open Visual Cloud reference pipelines are based on existing Intel-optimized open source ingredients.
