Anritsu vProbe Lowers Processing Overhead The Anritsu vProbe is a virtual network function (VNF) that can be deployed in virtualized servers to match closely where the virtual network elements appear. CPU performance in these servers is a critical resource, so Anritsu tested the vProbe on servers using 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors to demonstrate how much CPU processing power the vProbe consumed at various levels of throughput. Read the Paper     Celestica’s S2123 2U Server now verified as an Intel® Select Solutions for NFVI on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Based on Intel Select Solutions for NFVI reference designs, the S2123 Server provides consistent performance with Virtual Network Function (VNF) interoperability—both of which help speed deployment. Learn More     Lenovo Modular Edge Systems Target Enterprise, Telco Edge Growing demand for low-latency access to cloud compute resources is driving the increase in demand for edge computing. To address this evolving market, Lenovo has worked closely with Intel to develop several edge systems, including Lenovo ThinkSystem SE350 and ThinkSystem SE650, that embrace a converged edge architectural approach. Lenovo’s modular edge servers are designed to be future ready so that once deployed they can support new use cases.
