Slices, Containers, HERDs and Gaps: The Language of Virtualization (Room 225-227)

Containers are one of the most popular and rapidly growing software implementation models, because their cloud friendly features and functionalities enable rapid performance gains. This makes containers a flexible option for deploying a variety of use cases, including edge computing. Without question, virtualization of applications and network functions offers tremendous business value – but not without sophisticated workflow automation across multiple domains. Attendees will learn about one of the more exciting opportunities created by these trends: Network slicing, a form of virtualization that allows multiple logical networks to be deployed on top of a shared physical infrastructure. Find out how cable initiatives such and Head End Re-architected (HERD) and Generic Access Platform (GAP) could leverage network function virtualization to offer more flexibility and customization of network operations using network slicing concepts.
