MANSFIELD, Massachusetts and
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative
SDN/NFV, CE 2.0, MPLS and IP solutions, and FatPipe
Networks, the inventor of software-defined networks for wide
area connectivity and hybrid WANs, today jointly announced that the
two companies are partnering to provide an open uCPE solution for
offering real-time SD-WAN VNF services.
This new joint offering combines Telco Systems' NFVTime uCPE and
FatPipe's SD-WAN solution. The joint offering delivers telcos and
managed service providers a high performance, plug-and-play
framework to accelerate SD-WAN deployments, while maintaining the
service agility to expand service offerings to include additional
VNF services using any Intel or Arm hardware.
Telco Systems' NFVTime provides a complete service environment
to rapidly launch and manage NFV services. NFVTime includes an
NFVi-OS, uCPE MANO and a broad portfolio of certified VNFs that are
centrally managed and orchestrated. NFVTime's NFVi-OS can turn any
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) x86 and Arm white box hardware
device into a fully operational uCPE.
As part of this joint offering, the FatPipe SD-WAN VNF will run
over NFVTime's NFVi-OS. This gives telcos and managed service
providers the service agility to deploy SD-WAN services over an
open uCPE and remotely deploy any additional VNF service chain,
including vRouter, vFirewall, vProbe, vSecurity and others, at any
time with zero touch, plug-and-play provisioning.
FatPipe's real-time SD-WAN ensures automatic and seamless
failover of VoIP, video, VPN and data in a sub-second without
dropping packets or duplicating packet streams or re-transmits.
This and other technologies in the product enables customers and
providers reduce data traffic by 50% relative to other non-real
time SD-WANs in the market. With WAN acceleration, bandwidth needs
can be reduced by up to 75% for common desktop applications.
FatPipe's unique design allows providers to offer and install
FatPipe SD-WAN immediately without any devices in their network,
resulting in significant savings.
In addition to the SD-WAN VNF, FatPipe offers a multi-function
VNF, containing SD-WAN, WAN acceleration, firewall and VPN, IDS/IPS
and web filter along with a line booster package that reduces
bandwidth needs significantly for satellite traffic. The advantage
of the multifunction VNF is the low CPU and memory needs as well as
optimized performance resulting in high speed throughput in a small
form factor hardware.
"FatPipe is a well experienced SD-WAN vendor with one of the
leading SD-WAN options in the market today and the combined
offering through our NFVTime-OS platform is the first and presently
the only SD-WAN solution that can seamlessly run on both the x86
architectures," said Ariel Efrati,
CEO at Telco Systems. "We are pleased to be partnering with FatPipe
and adding the company's SD-WAN solution to our expanding VNF
portfolio, which will lower the barriers to entry for NFV
deployments and allow service providers to rely on a tested,
preconfigured and automatically provisioned VNFs to provide their
customers with rich, carrier-grade services."
"This partnership and joint offering emphasizes the need for
service providers to have a fully integrated SD-WAN VNF combined
with a high performance open uCPE in order to virtually deploy more
network functions to meet the growing requirements of offering new
services to business customers," said Dr. Ragula Bhaskar, CEO of
Fat Pipe Networks. "We are collaborating with Telco Systems in
order to deliver our SD-WAN solution over the market leading
NFVTime open uCPE, which has the advantage of running over both x86
and Arm architectures, and quickly bring great value to
international service providers that need a smooth and quick path
to NFV deployments and new customer services."
