“Networking startup Volta Networks — winner of TechTarget’s Network Innovation Award — is one of a handful of young companies aiming to change the routing game. Drawing inspiration from server virtualization and software-defined networking, or SDN, Volta created a disaggregated, cloud-based routing platform that allows service providers to run up to 255 virtual routing instances on a single white box switch. Decoupling software from hardware and moving the control plane to the cloud can lower costs and increase agility, which is of growing interest at the edge as the 5G era dawns.”

On December 10, Heidi Adams from IHS lead a discussion of the evolving service edge as service providers gear up for 5G. 5G brings the promise of ultra-broadband speeds, ultra-reliable low-latency services, and the ability to support massively scaled communications for a wide range of IoT devices and applications. These services will place new demands on the underlying IP transport infrastructure. In response, new solutions – such as virtual routers – are emerging to enable higher-capacity, flexible and more efficient IP networks for mobile xHaul applications. Watch this webinar to learn how cloud-native virtualized routers can play a leading role in meeting 5G transport requirements.

Volta Named an IDC Innovator for Disaggregated Routing Platforms

“Volta has rethought SP routing, with the goal of reducing costs while delivering scalable routing capabilities. Volta offers a cloud-native, cloud-hosted disaggregated control plane, which manages on-premise commodity switches to provide significantly lower capex and the ability to manage multiple virtual router instances on commodity hardware, improving operational agility and flexibility.”
