Virtualizing the Cable Headend Towards a Software Defined Network

The HFC network is evolving to meet the increasing demands of our digital lives, society, and economy. Virtualization of the Cable Headend and HFC network components is key to providing greater capacity, upstream, and flexibility. This approach allows service providers to adapt and evolve existing hardware, software and architectures into a software-defined network, to deliver ultimate versatility and resilience.

To meet this, cable operators require flexible and elastic virtualization platforms that are scalable and are optimized for broadband and video service delivery.
