TMCnet Announces Launch of Network Functions Virtualization News and Analysis Site NFVZone TMCnet News NORWALK, Conn. - June 17, 2013 - TMC (News - Alert), a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, today announced the launch of NFVZone, a website focused on exploring the latest in Network Functions Virtualization. NFVZone, which can be found at www.nfvzone.com, is the latest website under the umbrella of TMCnet, the leading website covering communications and technology with as many as 1.5 million unique visitors and 60 million pageviews per month.
NFVZone will detail all the latest news related to Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). As originally outlined by the ETSI (News - Alert) standards group, NFV represents the first push to virtualization for the comms market - a potentially disruptive shift that could mean significant gains for carriers thanks to the flexibility inherent in private and virtual private cloud hosting.
By taking bespoke hardware and software functions and rewriting the code to run on commercial off-the-shelf servers, telcos will now be able to take advantage of data center advances in their network. One simple concept they will be able to leverage will be virtualization or the ability to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. Many experts believe the shift could cause a telecommunications shake-up on par with the move to IP communications. "NFV represents an exciting concept and, potentially, one of the most disruptive developments in the telecom market this decade," said Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), TMC CEO. "We are excited to bring TMCnet's commitment to informative, quality content to the software telco ecosystem."
"Considering the rapid growth of the cloud and the amount of data and video traffic now traveling across networks, the shift to virtualization seems almost inevitable but it's important to keep in mind that NFV technology has the potential to be a true game changer," said Erik Linask (News - Alert), TMC Group Editorial Director. "NFVZone will be there every step of the way keeping a close eye on the latest developments in network virtualization."
