Cavium and Enea Deliver uCPE Software and Hardware Platform for NFV EnablementCavium and Enea Deliver Optimized Software and Hardware Platform for uCPEEnea® NFV Access Software Platform Now Available for OCTEON TX™ ARMv8 based uCPE Systems Cavium™, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor
products that enable secure and intelligent processing for enterprise,
data center, wired and wireless networking, and Enea® (NASDAQ Stockholm:
ENEA), a global supplier of network software platforms and world class
services, helping customers develop amazing functions for the connected
society, today announced availability of optimized uCPE solutions based
on Cavium OCTEON TX™ ARMv8 processor SoC families and Enea® NFV Access
software platform. Using universal customer
premises equipment (uCPE), service providers offer their enterprise
customers on-demand deployment with flexibility of choosing from a range
of virtualized network appliances in terms of specific virtual network
functions (VNF) and VNF vendors. In addition to the agile and flexible
deployment benefits, the uCPE software platform provides a consistent
management interface regardless of the selected network functions, and
service-function-chaining of the subscribed VNFs for individual
enterprise subscribers. "uCPE provides on-demand
deployment of multiple network functions previously each implemented as
its own purpose built appliance, plus virtualization software platform
in cost effective single-box COTS systems," said Raj Singh Vice
President & General Manager of the Network & Communication Group
at Cavium. "Cavium's highly integrated OCTEON TX ARMv8 processor SoC
families, with high performance processing, exceptional power
efficiency, hardware accelerators abstracted by standard APIs like DPDK,
standard software eco-systems and cost effective and scalable white box
hardware eco-systems, offer highly optimized uCPE processing
solutions." "Enea NFV Access offers
out-of-the-box VNF management and service function chaining for
orchestrating on-demand agile VNF deployment - without the overhead that
solutions originally developed for data centers carry with them," said
Karl Mörner, SVP Product Management, Enea. "Enea NFV Access is a
versatile virtualization software platform streamlined for high
networking performance and minimal footprint, and contributes to uCPE
agility and innovation, reducing cost and complexity for computing at
the network edge." Source: Cavium media announcement |
