Advantech introduces its Packeterium platform for network functions virtualization (NFV). The rollout includes a solution made for middle boxes on a GiLAN, as well as another version tailor-built for extending NFV capabilities out from the central offices to the edge of the network - supporting visions like Intel's Edge Cloud or what ETSI refers to as Mobile Edge Computing. Advantech is also introducing a Versatile Server Module (VSM) for server-class processing of VNFs at the access layer.
Presented by Peter Marek and Paul Stevens.
