Range of New
Features Enables Service Providers to Deploy uCPE, Scale OpenStack
and Deliver Software-Based SD-WAN on Cloud-Native
Platforms
Raleigh, North
Carolina, USA. May 16, 2017. Ensemble, a division of ADVA
Optical Networking, today launched a major upgrade of its NFV
platform with key enhancements for telco-scale virtualization. The
high-performance software-based product suite has been specifically
optimized for the simple, low-cost deployment of universal customer
premises equipment (uCPE) solutions in a cloud-native fashion. Now,
service providers can combine multiple virtual network functions
(VNFs) onto a single uCPE rather than stacking separate boxes for a
significantly lower total cost of ownership. The new release also
features LTE wireless support and zero touch provisioning, enabling
service providers to eliminate onsite visits for service
activation. This means service providers can drop-ship servers
directly from COTS suppliers to end customers - dramatically
simplifying supply chain logistics.
"Our Ensemble technology is
expanding the capabilities of NFV in telecommunication networks.
With these new features, we're evolving the virtualization
landscape to meet the needs of service providers and making rapid,
efficient software-based services available for many more end
users," said Prayson Pate, CTO, Ensemble Division, ADVA Optical
Networking. "We listened to our customers and this new release is
our response. Every one of the latest applications is a direct
answer to specific requirements from our current customer
engagements and from our own experience with major commercial
deployments. Our direction remains laser-focused on simplifying the
deployment, operationalization and monetization of NFV at scale. To
us, this is not just a marketing pitch. It's our mission."
The new Ensemble release takes its
multi-award-winning flexibility, openness and efficiency to the
next level. As well as enhanced provisioning capabilities, the
upgrade includes significant resource optimization enabling service
providers to shrink NFV infrastructure footprints to a single
Intel® Atom(TM) core. The new update also solves the problem of how
to expand OpenStack beyond the data center. By including local
OpenStack controllers, it effectively embeds the cloud in each
compute node. This overcomes many of the traditional problems that
service providers have experienced. What's more, Ensemble advances
the use case of SD-WAN. Service providers are now able to deploy
SD-WAN as a VNF on a COTS server as opposed to using a traditional
closed appliance.
"As a pioneer in worldwide NFV
deployment, we've found that the types of features offered by
Ensemble are critical to a sound virtualization strategy. They
offer innovative solutions for any service provider committed to
delivering efficiency, flexibility and service control," commented
Tim Naramore, CTO, Masergy. "At Masergy, we're continuing to evolve
our own offering and enhance our software-based services by
leveraging these types of capabilities. We believe in providing
virtual solutions tailor-made for each customer's unique
environment. The latest enhancements to Ensemble align well with
our commitment to cutting through complexity, simplifying service
innovation and speeding up deployment. Ultimately, it's about
delivering even more to our customers - more speed, more choice and
more value."
