| Featured Articles NFV and SDN were wonderful concepts in theory for many years. Then they made their way into the data center and have been instrumental in building out today's "hyperscale" data centers in support of mobility, the cloud and a seemingly infinite number of applications and services. And now NFV is proving its worth in the telecom space, as service providers and operators ramp up their efforts to transform their networks to accommodate the IoT and all that it entails. Following the trend towards making technology simpler, more user-friendly, and more intuitive, the communications world is in the midst of a revolutionary change, where developing applications is moving from an arduous task of writing code to a much simpler GUI-based process. The timing couldn't be better, as the need to bring new real-time communications applications to market faster, make them more scalable, and able to integrate them into other services, apps, and websites, is creating havoc for those who aren't prepared. While many of us are staring breathlessly at 2020 like a well-trained dog stares at a plateful of cupcakes thanks to the upcoming 5G rollout, there's still quite a bit that needs to happen between then and now. Plus, we've still got a little over three years of normal use to account for, and we're already butting up against the limits of capacity as it is. Recently, Rysavy Research released a report showing how the growth of LTE was going to be vital to the release of 5G, and in covering that gap until its release. VoIP service providers have a unique requirement today to not only deliver service that is optimal and effective, but they must also provide solutions that work easily and meet the needs of resellers and end users. The push toward hosted, cloud-based applications and services has made a significant impact on the communications space. Unified communications (UC) have matured substantially through the hosted model, enabling flexibility, scalability and cost savings previously out of reach for most businesses.
