Heavy Networking 622: Intel’s Smart Edge Brings The Cloud To The Edge (Sponsored)

In today’s sponsored Heavy Networking show with Intel, we dive into recent Intel silicon announcements that are impacting how networking services will be delivered in the years to come. Off-the-shelf components have dramatically changed networking. While custom silicon is key to high-capacity core networking, the edge of the network is set to change. Why? Because a modern CPU has silicon features that accelerate network functions including packet processing and security. The days of all-custom hardware for network appliances is behind us. Joining us today is Intel’s Jeni Panhorst, Vice President & General Manager, Network & Edge Platforms Division to talk about recent Intel announcements at Mobile World Congress and what it means for networking at the edge. We discuss: * The convergence of edge, cloud, 5G, and AI * What Intel means by “smart edge” * Intel’s recent vRAN announcements * Hardware processors for edge use cases * Intel’s efforts to support the developer community * More Show Links: Smart Edge – Intel OpenVINO – Intel Intel vRAN – Intel Network Builders – Intel Intel Deep Learning Boost – Intel AI MWC 2022 – 5G Network Visibility for Mobile Network Operators – Intel Network Builders
