KISTA, Sweden, April 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Enea® (NASDAQ
Stockholm: ENEA), a global supplier of network software platforms
and world-class services, today announced a partnership with
Fortinet, a global supplier of cybersecurity solutions, around
secure SD-WAN for white box universal customer premise equipment
(uCPE). The partnership aims to provide a flexible and
cost-effective solution integrating Enea NFV Access and FortiGate
Next Generation Firewall for secure SD-WAN. Already verified, the
joint solution is commercially deployable on any white box scaling
from cost-sensitive entry-level to high-performance devices.
Moving away from traditional appliance-based connectivity to
virtualized network functions on uCPE increases flexibility and
lowers both operational and capital costs. Thanks to a generic and
flexible platform at the customer premise, communication service
providers (CSPs) can add new value-added services for managed
SD-WAN to their enterprise offerings. A key requirement is
flexibility to offer services for different use cases and
performance requirements, which requires a scalable platform.
"Onboarding FortiGate on Enea NFV Access provides a tremendous
opportunity for CSPs to save costs by virtualizing network
functions on any white box uCPE, and to benefit from a world-class
cybersecurity solution" said Vinod
Sundarraj, Senior Director, Product Marketing at Fortinet.
"The highly scalable joint solution also significantly lowers the
cost-barriers for enterprise SD-WAN."
"Fortinet is a leader in network security and perfectly positioned
to provide secure SD-WAN solutions for the quickly growing uCPE
market. We are very happy to announce this important partnership
and look forward to providing secure and flexible solutions based
on our joint offering", said Adrian Leufvén SVP of Enea's OS
Business Unit.
Enea NFV Access is a uniquely scalable NFVI software platform
that makes it possible to run FortiGate secure SD-WAN on white box
uCPEs with as little as 2 cores and 2 GB of RAM, and still have
full management and automation capabilities. Enea NFV Access is not
based on data center software like OpenStack: it is designed for
edge applications and uses NETCONF to provide the management
interface. It runs on any white box uCPE and integrates with any
orchestration solution through a REST API.
Enea will be a sponsor at Accelerate 19, Fortinet's annual
global partner and user conference, to promote the partnership and
joint solutions. Accelerate 19 is taking place April 8-11, 2019 at the Disney World Swan and
Dolphin Resort in Orlando,
Florida. Fortinet's conference will bring together customers
and partners to learn from and collaborate with many of the
industry's top leaders and technical experts. Through timely
keynote sessions, hands-on labs, and breakout sessions, attendees
will discover innovative ways to improve their overall security
posture.
