Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a technological approach that moves network services, like firewalls and load balancers, from hardware devices to software applications running on common servers. Instead of needing special hardware for each function, organizations can use standard computer infrastructure to run these services, making networks more flexible and efficient. NFV allows for quicker deployment of services, easier updates, and cost savings, as it reduces reliance on specific physical equipment. This innovation supports the growing demand for scalable and adaptable networks in an increasingly digital world.
