APAC Webinar: Learn how to maximise the benefits of NFV
F5 presented on their NFV/SDN solution update and strategy. The presentation covered: 1) The transformation of networks to application delivery models driven by SDN and NFV technologies. 2) How NFV and SDN address challenges faced by telecom operators around revenue, capex predictability, and traffic demands. 3) F5's NFV strategy including virtual editions of their products, integration with orchestration partners, and participation in standards bodies.
