- Limit the installations of the devices that consume a lot of time.
- Increase scalability and reliability with COTS hardware.
Concept
Lower equipment costs:
Instead of using dedicated hardware, vEPC deals all functions virtually on a general-purpose IA server.
Allow the allocation of flexible and scalable hardware:
The program optimizes the allocation of server and network resources for each service in the virtualization platform.
Optimize system maintenance:
vEPC can provide all services on general-purpose IA servers, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
Open interface:
vEPC funtions work in the environment of open network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI)
Architecture
- It has made it more stable through the use of EPC applications installed in the field.
- It can be implemented in a single service for the lowest configurations or multiple services for large-scale networks.
- Flexible implementation application designed to meet different demands.
