Intel RSD & Disaggregation roadmap Intel RSD is a design architecture Hardware disaggregation, composed based on workload Open source software components Ericsson is the first vendor getting RSD with Compute, Storage and Networking. Ericsson and Intel have strong partnership & commitment to RSD. Dell, Huawei, SuperMicro and other vendors are also following RSD. Ericsson Internal 2017-10-18 Page 5
