This document summarizes NXP Semiconductors' strategy for network function virtualization (NFV) solutions using their QorIQ line of ARM-based processors. Key points include: - NFV aims to virtualize network services and deploy them flexibly throughout the network for better performance, scalability and cost efficiency compared to proprietary hardware appliances. - NXP's NFV strategy focuses on distributing virtual network functions (VNFs) using their QorIQ processors in various network locations from data centers to customer premises equipment. - Their NFV platform supports open standards and provides reference VNFs, benchmarks and tools to simplify virtualizing services on scalable and optimized QorIQ hardware.

- 5. Distributed NFV : Don’t Replace Networking With Computing; Blend them • Systems in the field provide • I/O, Acceleration • Low latency • The NFVI must be capable of geographic distribution • VNF hosting distributed throughout network • Capability, capacity, context determine where VNFs run • Services can be chained across domains Rigid Data Center Centralization Intelligent Flexible Cloud NFV ComputingNetworking Data Center Distributed NFV places workload where it is most efficient and leverages local acceleration – yielding greater performance/W NXP Focus
