THE HAGUE, Netherlands,
October 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), an innovative technology
solutions provider that develops network data processing technology
used in high-end Carrier Ethernet applications across the telecom,
mobile, security and data centre markets, is to extend the ENET
portfolio for support of CSPs business with carrier grade Ethernet
requirements, including SLA deterministic performance monitoring,
high precision OAM probe methods and hierarchical QoS accuracy.
The ENET portfolio extension is aimed at two different platforms
in this arena. The first is a low-end customizable small size
SmartNIC platform, based on ENET that, despite the low cost,
provides Carrier Ethernet demarcation and IPsec embedded on the new
generation FPGA. This is integrated into network edge appliances,
such as vCPE, uCPE, and gateways. Supported applications include
SD-WAN, vIoT gateways, vBRAS, vFW and others. The second will
re-use novel SoC solutions, which already include embedded FPGAs.
In this case, ENET Flow Processor would be easily adopted for
running directly on a COST server and delivering carrier grade VNF
acceleration for CSP networking infrastructure vRouter and vSwitch,
and applications like vFW.
David Levi, CEO of Ethernity,
explains: "It became clear that software-only NFV solutions are not
sufficient for delivering carrier grade functionality, and a
firmware running on FPGA is the only solution accepted by the
market to advance deployment of NFV. Adding the required carrier
grade functions on top of current NFV solutions is impossible due
to the unpredictable behaviour of general purpose CPUs. At the same
time, most of modern communication requires predictable traffic and
data delivery. Ethernity's ENET data networking processing firmware
on COTS FPGAs brings the required carrier grade set of
features."
Ethernity's ENET FPGA firmware provides support of
classification of millions of flows, millions of counters, OAM/ CFM
with integrated packet generator and analyzer, switching, routing,
hierarchical traffic management, IEEE 1588 and tunneling offload
including MPLS, VxLAN, GRE, GTP. Given this capability, Ethernity
is well positioned to complement NFV and SDN with Carrier Ethernet
features needed for deterministic performance.
David Levi continues, "According
to Forbes, FPGA will be the preferred component to carry onboard
data processing, thanks to Intel architecture that embeds FPGA
within Xeon processor. In the new generation of COTS servers,
acceleration of NFV infrastructure layer will be implemented on
FPGAs, which will be integrated directly into standalone servers
and rack architectures."
Acceleration technology that Ethernity has developed delivers a
50x performance improvement and reduces the amount of server
resources required for the same tasks. Taking into account SW
licensing, hosting, and power consumption costs, Ethernity's
solutions provide tremendous savings in CAPEX and OPEX for service
providers, and in some cases, such as a remote cloud, where power
consumption is the critical issue, Ethernity offers the only
applicable server based architecture.
Ethernity's experts will explain the ENET portfolio in detail at
the SDN NFV Congress in The Hague,
Netherlands, at the booth C8, between 9 and 13
October. Ken Dennen, the Company's
Senior Director of Business Development in the U.S. will
participate in the panel debate "NFV Cost
Reduction", at the BUSINESS & SD-WAN
FORUM, October 11
2017.
