Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) deployments are challenged by a lack of broadly accepted industry benchmarks to drive conformance to carrier-grade requirements.
Dimensioning network workloads and modeling the impact of stress vectors on system-level capacity according to key performance indicators enable operators to calculate the total cost of ownership for transforming their network to SDN and NFV.
Intel, partnering with a leadership group of global operators and solution providers, is proud to introduce the Network Services Benchmark (NSB) initiative.
