Market Demand for Edge Compute Nodes

• NFV is happening now! • vCPE and SD-WAN are key drivers• Initial vCPE installations in 2017;

significant ramp-up in 2018 and beyond

However • Uncertainty due to NFV complexity• Tight business case• Different lifetime of servers and network

gear suggest both should be separate

Solution: server-extendable, cost-optimized demarcation devices


How do we get the performance of hardware with the programmability of software?

• ASICs for TCP offloads (segmentation, checksum, etc.), encapsulation (NVGRE, VXLAN, etc.)

• FPGA for reconfigurable functions (e.g., crypto, QoS, storage acceleration, etc.)
