Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) was designed to help the telecom industry accelerate innovation and launch services quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively. This is done primarily by replacing hardware-centric equipment with cloud native and microservices approaches that allow key core and edge functionality to be virtualized in telecommunications networks.
Development and operations teams are sprouting up in enterprises and businesses around the world, and while formal “DevOps” programs are still in the early phases, as our hyper-connected and hyper digital world calls for more and more software applications, many analysts suggest DevOps will be even more powerful than legacy IT in the future.
As communications networks evolve, interconnects tend to grow in numbers and complexity. Carriers and enterprises are converting core networks to IP, and are using IP to connect with peering entities. For the network core to deal with the emerging universe of applications, networks and devices, those elements must first be normalized at the edge.
The cost and performance advantages of SIP Trunking, which moves conventional PRI voice circuits to SIP Trunks, are well known and broadly documented. And now there is a new component to these many benefits – SIP Trunking-as-a-Service.
As the Exchange of Everything continues to accelerate, it’s time for real-time communications leaders to look way beyond their traditional networks and network services to recognize the massive opportunities opening up, given the Digitization of Everything.
What would your work life be like if you could reach exactly the right person at exactly the right time, and have your questions answered in seconds, not minutes, hours or days?

For most of history, communications have been asynchronous, and even synchronized communications has often required people to switch from one application to another.
Communications Service Providers (CSPs) have been playing defense for nearly a decade now, as challengers in the over-the-top messaging space have grown dramatically, attracting billions of users and driving massive enterprise valuations.
The Internet of Things (IoT) as a stand-alone world of connections without question will continue to grow and make machines more efficient, make the production of goods less expensive, make our energy grid more reliable, our environment more sustainable, and our cities safer.
There’s nothing more thrilling at work than to collaborate with truly inspired customers who are building meaningful solutions. Last month, Kandy shared the story of a new platform which Kandy’s real-time communications platform powers – CoolDoctors.
With Gartner predicting that the number of connected devices will reach 20.8 billion by 2020, the technology world stands on the verge of one of its biggest waves of disruption.
