Kontron joins NFV.net forum as network functions virtualization takes hold
NFV.net is an invitation-only alliance of best-of-breed vendors, with only one or two key players representing each key network function. Members are selected both for their technology and thought leadership, as well as full commitment to delivering a real-life, demonstrable, pre-integrated solution with other partners in NFV.net.
Kontron was selected to join NFV.net due to their expertise and leadership in designing both carrier grade and telco cloud commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms, such as the SYMKLOUD Series of converged modular servers. These high-density and ultra-dependable platforms are ideal for massively scalable SDN and NFV infrastructure deployments.
In a single 2U enclosure, Kontron SYMKLOUD platforms pack up to nine hot-swappable modular servers (each with single or dual independent x86 nodes) and two OpenFlow-ready 10GbE switches – greatly improving the economics of CSP infrastructure.
Equally compelling is its separation of data and management planes to ensure that even the most intense peaks in data traffic loads will not undermine the platform’s responsiveness to automated re-configurations or re-allocations of resources – critical for safeguarding service levels to the customer.
“Kontron’s modular, high-density SYMKLOUD hardware gives service providers a highly economical physical capacity that serves as the ideal environment to deploy the solutions that NFV.net member companies offer,” said Don Bowman, CTO, Sandvine.
