STOCKHOLM, Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Enea® (NASDAQ Stockholm: ENEA) a global supplier of NFVi
software platforms and world class services, Datavision, a global
service integrator of SDN/NFV-centric orchestration solutions,
Kontron - Communications Business, a provider of converged
infrastructure platforms and Fortinet, a market leader of Security
as a Service (SecaaS) and SD-WAN solutions, today announced a
partnership to demonstrate reference solutions for telco and
enterprise uCPE use cases.
Datavision will showcase at the MEF18 conference – October 29 – November 2,
2018 – the culmination of work based on Enea® NFV Access
NFVi software running on Kontron SYMKLOUD application-ready
hardware. On top will be a Fortinet secure SD-WAN virtualized
network function (VNF), managed by Cloudify NFV orchestration.
"The partnership rewards customers with an extremely lightweight
NFVi platform using Enea NFV Access combined with a leading
firewall and SD-WAN solution that, overall, requires minimal
processor, memory and storage resources within in a condensed
footprint," said Mark Abolafia,
Chief Operating Officer at Datavision. "With the wide range of
Kontron whitebox platforms, we can expand our client's service
offerings to now include SD-WAN. When you combine this with our
integration capabilities and experience with world-class Cloudify
orchestration, this enables Tier2/3 service providers and
enterprises to deploy a highly cost-effective SD-WAN that
accelerate the monetization of NFV-based technologies."
"We work with operators to help with their infrastructure
transition that better leverages SDN and NFV technologies – from
the edge, PoP and cloud-ready PoPs, to the DC/CO," said Luc-Yves
Pagal Vinette, Global Business Development Executive, Kontron,
Communications business. "With Datavision taking the integration
lead, this multi-vendor collaboration underscores the feasibility
to produce reliable solutions using the proprietary and open source
software on standard whitebox equipment."
"While closed SD-WAN solutions have been helping to drive
innovation on the networking layer, these types of over-the-top
proprietary stacks have led to yet another form of lock-in of the
entire network, from HQ to branches," say Nati Shalom CTO &
Founder, Cloudify. "This partnership built on a truly open, secure,
pluggable, and best of breed stack from Kontron, Enea, Cloudify
& Fortinet - and delivered with real world NFV & SDN
implementation expertise by Datavision - will be a game changer for
SD-WAN from core to edge."
Karl Mörner, VP R&D and Product Management at Enea said "We
see a huge surge for cost-efficient, lightweight NFVi solutions
right now. The market is turning away from "grey box vendors" in
preference for pure white box uCPE solutions that can provide
openness and flexibility. Together with Datavision, Cloudify,
Kontron and Fortinet we offer both high value and the flexibility
of an open uCPE based SD-WAN solution to Telcos and
Enterprises."
Datavision is integrator with expertise in ONAP, Cloudify and
OSM, and bringing the cloud closer to customer edge network with
first-rate hardware and software partners that deliver greater
efficiency, agility and flexibility.
Enea NFV Access is a uCPE virtualization platform for hosting
and managing 3rd party VNF's and containers that runs on standard
COTS hardware – from Atom to Xeon-type processors – to reduce costs
while providing carrier grade throughput and reduced latency. It
provides Zero Touch Provisioning, software upgrades,
automation and many other features required to deploy a uCPE
network. VNF Lifecycle management is done using Netconf.
The Kontron SYMKLOUD portfolio includes a series of high-density
converged platforms that significantly reduce the Total Cost of
Ownership by decreasing both rack space and power consumption. This
enables a significant increase in the number of virtual services
deployed per 2U rack-based platform, which houses up to 18
independent servers operated within a 1500W power consumption.
The four-party partnership with Datavision brings the best of
what this rapidly growing market has to offer in terms of service
and choice. Service providers can leverage the freedom of open
source, standard COTS hardware, virtualized layers and tailored
orchestrator solutions without neglecting their past investments
vis-à-vis existing network infrastructure investments. This
approach has already generated considerable interest from various
forward-looking, innovative service providers who aim to deploy a
differentiated service value proposition.
