5G enabled – Smart Factory @ stürmsfs

Disaggregated and virtualized Radio Access Network (RAN) enables 5G market competition and customer choice with lower equipment costs, and improved network performance. Open RAN deployments can be implemented in vendor-neutral hardware and software-defined technology, based on open interfaces and community-developed standards. Many 5G use-cases run well on pure CPU platforms, but as bandwidths increase and advanced antenna systems are deployed, hardware oftentimes struggle to keep up and start driving impractical levels of power consumption. Hardware acceleration is needed for the compute-heavy Layer-1, or physical layer. Our Intel® Agilex™ FPGA based reconfigurable SmartNICs can bring in flexible hardware acceleration options with in-line or look-a-side LDPC and SD-FEC related workload offloading.

Cybersecure Private 5G In-A-Box for Edge Deployments

Most key exchange methods used to secure data in networks today use mechanisms that are broken by quantum computers. Even before quantum computers become available, it’s possible for attackers to store data today and decrypt it later. Information that needs to be kept secret for a long time (state secrets, personal health and genomics data, trade secrets, financial data, etc.) is already at risk since it can be easily siphoned from public networks and stored encrypted in a data silo until it can be decrypted.

Arqit’s Symmetric Key Agreement™ Platform (SKA) is a cloud-hosted or on-prem service that can secure networks with encryption that is unbreakable by a quantum computer. This allows endpoints to upgrade the security of communication channels they create, like an IPsec tunnel. 

Arqit and Intel have joined forces to produce a number of out-the-box post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions. Combining Intel's existing FD.io Vector Packet Processing (VPP) and strongSwan tools with Arqit SKA™ enables a PQC IPsec solution, demonstrating how the 1.89 Tb IPsec throughput previously achieved on 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors can be protected against quantum attack without compromising performance.

The solution can also be deployed directly on the Intel® NetSec Accelerator Card, providing all the functional performance benefits of the smart NIC alongside world class quantum safe encryption capability. This is made possible due to the lightweight nature of the software and provides use cases across a diverse range of industries, such as Defense, Telecommunications and Internet of Things (IoT).

Join the webinar to find out how Arqit's technology integrates seamlessly with Intel's products to create out-the-box solutions that mitigate against the quantum threat.

Unlocking New Use-Cases using Intel® Processors and Turnium SD-WAN

The success of enterprise edge services such as analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), network as a service (NaaS), and Internet of Things (IoT), requires a solution that has high performance, low latency, security, and standalone resiliency. These types of edge services are typically poorly served by centralized cloud offerings mostly because of high transport latency, data egress costs, and security inefficiencies.

Instead, enterprise success will be driven by next gen solutions specifically designed for enterprise edge use cases and requirements.

In this webinar, Supermicro and Adtran will show you why enterprises should look for a solution that integrates best-in-class servers, scalable processors, network security acceleration, an edge cloud operating system, management & orchestration, and embraces an open architecture for multiple SASE software application providers.

Join us to learn how you can deliver next gen SASE workloads that:
• Leverage edge servers with exceptional performance per watt to drive down the total cost of ownership
• Can transparently be deployed at a network edge point of presence or on customer premises locations with the ability to scale to meet multiple customer demands
• Are orchestrated and instantiated as either virtual network functions (VNFs) or cloud native network functions (CNFs) 

Walk away from the webinar knowing how you can successfully deploy and scale an integrated solution for all your customer’s requirements for SASE workloads.

Can You Easily Deploy & Scale Your Secure Access Service Edge?

The radio access network (RAN) is the bulk of a mobile network operator’s (MNO’s) network investment, and its performance and functionality are critical to successful service delivery and innovation. 
Before Open RAN, MNOs built their RAN with proprietary and specialized systems that offered no widespread interoperability, thus resulting in inflexibility and high costs. Open RAN provided a new way to build the network by disaggregating the BBU, virtualizing the network functions, and replacing proprietary hardware with open Intel® architecture CPU-based servers. Industry standards for interfaces created interoperability that allowed MNOs to mix-and-match network functions for the best of breed solution.

Mavenir is pioneering Open vRAN software that is cloud native and with fully containerized microservices allowing it to be deployed easily with Intel® architecture CPUs on private, hybrid or public clouds. This talk presents the evolution of Mavenir’s Open vRAN solution leveraging various generations of 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® scalable processors to deliver high network and user performance, energy savings features, expanded RAN capacity, and paving the way for AI/ML powered SLAs.

Security gateways are essential for preserving the reliability, integrity, and resilience of 5G networks in the face of evolving security challenges. They play a crucial role in securing xHaul networks, which connect RAN elements to the core network. Security Gateways are used to authenticate, authorize, and encrypt communication, preventing unauthorized access and mitigating various cyber threats such as data breaches and denial-of-service attacks. Furthermore, they ensure the integrity of data transmission and support network slicing, maintaining strict security boundaries between different network services and user groups.

In this webinar, 6WIND highlights the capabilities of its virtualized security gateway solution (vSecGW) and demonstrate the performance it achieves in a telco cloud environment running on 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor.
