Video streaming: networks and the game of bandwidth

It is evident that video streaming is on a fast track to becoming the new definition of the ‘Internet’, easily outdoing other bandwidth-intensive applications such as cloud gaming, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The demand for video content seems to move in tandem with network speeds, given that better speeds translate into faster streaming and improved quality of experience (QoE). One of the immediate effects of a rapid increase in video traffic is the strain it puts on network resources, resulting in network congestion and poor network performance. While this impairs almost all applications to some degree, video takes the biggest hit given its dependency on real-time availability of bandwidth and speeds. What operators need now are the right tools that deliver the required intelligence, timely and accurately, to maintain the required QoE and to successfully deploy their video streaming strategies.

SASE: Conquering the ever expanding enterprise edge

Despite the widespread availability of technologies that enable remote working and the remote management of operations and assets, it wasn’t until COVID-19 started shaking up large parts of the economy that enterprises really did rethink their current operational models. This included the way employees executed their daily tasks, how they work with business assets and how their outputs are monitored. The need to steer the business out of lockdowns and movement restrictions propelled most enterprises to work on this realization and saw overnight changes in company work rules, policies and most importantly, pushed the usage of Cloud and SaaS based applications to record levels.

Whitepaper: ipoque tests deep packet inspection for 5G networks

Moving to the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable server can provide significant performance benefits for 5G network deployments

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is a critical element of 4G/5G wireless networks as it is mandatory for application awareness and flow prioritization for proper service delivery and high quality of experience. Tests of R&S®PACE 2 DPI performance show a 33.8% increase on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor-based servers when upgrading to a new CPU and demonstrate the performance impact between aligned vs misaligned non-uniform memory access (NUMA) in dual socket systems.
