Cyber Security: What Container Deployment Models Make Sense?

Enterprises going through the next stage of digital transformation need to tap into the power of AI based services and visual computing to gain real-time insights and productivity assistance. The on-prem IoT devices such as cameras, lidars, sensors will need to be serviced from remote on-prem and off-prem  edge locations.

Rafay’s MEC Blueprint for SASE is a commercial-ready solution that brings the power of Kubernetes and DevOps to Multi-access Edge Computing.  It simplifies the deployment and ongoing operations of Kubernetes clusters in an edge network by providing central management of the infrastructure and applications on which each edge site requires. 

Join Haseeb Budhani, Founder and CEO of Rafay to see how easy it is to onboard new hardware nodes, deploy new applications and most importantly centrally manage the full lifecycle of your Kubernetes clusters and applications at remote edge locations.

From time to time, we read news about fatal accidents in the mines. Many families have lost their loved ones in unfortunate incidents. While mining as such is exposed to the unpredictability of the elements, we should strive to minimize risks and adopt practices that ensure that those that carry out work in zones with higher risk can return home safely every day. Technology has today reached a stage where we automate some of the mining tasks and also allow the people operating the mining equipment to do so safely at distance from the risk zone.

Remote operation allows miners to control the mining machines from a safe location rather than at a station where the ore is excavated. To realize this, a highly reliable wireless network must be built to connect the machines to the control room. 5G technology provides high bandwidth, low latency and most importantly high reliability to perform such operations remotely. Comba, in cooperation with Intel, has developed an end-to-end 5G private network mining solution, helping mining companies to improve safety and automation.

Virtual and Open RAN promises so much. The new cloud-based environment, Open RAN allows you to digitally transform: evolve your business models, reduce Opex, be more responsive to your customers, reap the benefits of 5G, and start paving the way to 6G. 
But to realize this promise, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) must first meet the table-stakes of parity with traditional RAN systems. And, with rising energy costs, energy efficiency and total cost of ownership (TCO) is more important than ever. 
Wind River and Intel have partnered to address these issues by optimizing Wind River Studio Cloud Platform to be able to run on a single core using 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Processors.

Join this webinar to learn:
• How Wind River and Intel partnered to enable CSPs to run more revenue generating services by decreasing the number of cores needed for infrastructure.
• Why Wind River Studio is the leading software infrastructure of choice for Tier 1 CSPs moving to virtual and Open RAN.
• How Wind River can help you accelerate your virtual and Open RAN deployments.

Building a Dynamic Network Infrastructure

Network edge computing is not just the periphery of the Telecom infrastructure, it’s also the frontier of NextGen network and service management. Unlike the bountiful resources at the core or the conceptually unlimited resources of the cloud, edge deployments are decentralized, numerous and constrained. At the edge – continuous optimization and efficiency is necessity. 

Telco edge platforms must do ‘more with less’. They have to flexibly support a wide variety of use-cases and configurations for diverse Enterprise workloads, while maintaining low-latency SLAs of public and private MEC, all within resource and power constraints of edge servers. The extreme demands of edge computing is driving innovation through the automation stack from the application layer down to the hardware, all of which will ultimately make its way back to the core and cloud for a more agile and sustainable industry.

EnterpriseWeb is leading an award-winning multi-vendor Intel 5G RAN testbed based on an secure edge gateway use-case. The testbed demonstrates dynamic configuration of Intel® Ethernet Controller E810 and network functions to optimize processing of secure packets, while significantly reducing resource requirements and energy consumption at scale. Stage 3 of the testbed incorporates Intel’s FlexRAN™ to further extend programmability. The testbed presents an open, extensible and near real-time solution for self-healing, scaling and optimizing networks. 

The testbed team includes: Intel (INB Lab, Intel® Ethernet Controller E810, FlexRAN™); Red Hat (RHEL CoreOS, OpenShift, RHACM); Fortinet (FortiGate, FortiWeb); Keysight (CyPerf test agents); KX (data services & analytics); EnterpriseWeb (CloudNFV intelligent orchestrator with LCM, iPaaS, SMO, NSMF); Tech Mahindra (system integration partner). The testbed also incorporates open-source from the ONF Aether project (SD-Core and SD-RAN) and Grafana Labs (Prometheus and Grafana).

Unleashing Security Gateway Performance in Virtualized Environments

There is an emerging interest in time-critical use cases in the areas of entertainment / multimedia, gaming, AR/VR, real-time video conferencing, vehicle to everything (V2X), teleoperated driving, and drones operated through mobile networks. These use cases require bounded low latency in conjunction with medium to high bitrates and the ability to scale across a large number of consumer devices. To meet this demand, entire networks must be optimized. Edge computing reduces transport network latency and jitter by moving data centers from the central cloud into a communication service provider’s network. In addition, 5G’s new radio (NR) network interface introduces key functional and architectural enhancements to enable time-critical services.

Still, these enhancements alone cannot fulfill the goal, and specific functionalities are needed to improve the quality of experience (QoE) for high data rate applications requiring bounded, stable, and low end-to-end latency. This calls for methods to prevent latency spikes due to queuing delays (typically caused by application data rates that are higher than what a network can serve). To fulfill latency requirements, an application must be able to adapt the bitrate to minimize the risk of increased delay while maximizing the service quality under this constraint.

In the meet-up, Ericsson and Deutsche Telekom will introduce “Managed Latency with L4S” which is a disruptive approach to provide a stable latency over mobile networks. The presentation will include:
- Time-critical use cases and their requirement for low and in particular stable latency (low jitter)
- Deep-dive into technology of Managed Latency with L4S
- Use case examples with application partners
- Information for developers how to use Managed Latency with L4S
