1、Extended compute services for a unified networking experienceUNEXT White paper seriesMathieu BoussardNokia Bell Labs is pioneering the next frontier in intelligent connectivity with the creation of the Unified Networking Experience Technology(UNEXT)platform.UNEXT is an innovative networking solution
2、 designed to seamlessly unify diverse network and compute capabilities into a single,intelligent ecosystem.By abstracting complexity,orchestrating heterogeneous technologies and enabling end-to-end services,UNEXT will deliver a streamlined experience for stakeholders across the value chain.With its
3、foundation in cutting-edge research and decades of expertise,Nokia Bell Labs UNEXT aims to redefine how networks operate,making them more adaptive,efficient and capable of supporting the demands of a hyper-digital world.Realizing services end-to-end in UNEXT will require defining the abstraction,orc
4、hestration and support for heterogeneous network and compute capabilities across a wide range of stakeholders and technologies.This paper describes the foundations of the resulting secure,generalized network-compute continuum,which will serve as UNEXTs execution environment.2White paperExtended comp
