Network Function Virtualization

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a technology that allows traditional networking services, like firewalls or routers, to run on standard computer servers instead of specialized hardware. This means that organizations can easily scale their networks, deploy new services faster, and save costs by using software instead of expensive physical devices. NFV separates the functions from the physical devices, enabling greater flexibility and efficiency in managing network resources, similar to how cloud computing allows for on-demand access to computing power. Overall, NFV helps create more adaptable and resilient networks.
