KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 -- Mavenir, the industry’s only end-to-end cloud-native Network Software Provider, recently unveiled a high performance 5G Core User Plane Function (UPF), accelerated by NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNICs.
According to a statement, the UPF plays a key role in the 5G network to realise the transformative vision of low latency and high throughput.
Enabling cost-efficient network transformation to 5G, the Mavenir UPF provides a complete set of standalone 5G core user plane functions and combo node support, delivering a unique combination of high performance and capability to support 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G subscribers in a single integrated user plane network function.
“The key message here is that for the same throughput (before offload), we have reduced the footprint by 50 per cent when offloading the functionality to the SmartNIC,” said Mavenir EVP and GM (Packet Computing), Ashok Khuntia.
Mavenir’s UPF delivers unique value through cloud-native design, container-based architecture, highly optimised packet processing with configurable hardware offloading capabilities and built-in high availability support.
While meeting very high-performance demands and low hardware footprint, the Mavenir UPF also delivers on deployment automation and ease of operational maintenance via centralised management system, thus reducing overall total cost of ownership.
NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx accelerates the Mavenir UPF through dynamic load balancing, efficient packet processing and intelligent forwarding to keep thousands of customers’ audio, video and data streams aligned and flowing smoothly at the committed quality of service levels.
