More than just a buzzword, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a complete shift in the architectural approach for most mobile operators as they move from fixed dedicated hardware resources to a dynamic agile network design. Now gaining momentum, this shift is achieved by abstracting functional software from the underlying hardware via virtualization, and enabling a greater degree of network elasticity. Network Function Virtualization and the Evolution of Messaging Infrastructure, will address the relevace of NFV to the mobile operator in a messaging environment, as well as the near term benefits such as lower Capex and Opex, increased business agility and new commercial opportunities.
