Multi-architecture NFV software platform
NFV brings a promise of CapEx and OpEx savings and a flexibility in creating new services. While the datacenter/cloud side of NFV software is maturing with consequent commoditization, the base station/customer premise side is developing, with few independent software vendors with viable offerings, and with significant potential for differentiation as the use cases differ for each deployment scenario.
Enea addresses typical distributed NFV use cases, like virtual Customer Premise Equipment (vCPE), and Enea NFV Core is targeted specifically for central office applications. Enea NFV Core is built on the open technology standards OPNFV and OpenStack, leveraging the speed of innovation of the open source community. Its multi-architecture support enables Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) to execute on both Intel x86 and ARM commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.
Enea NFV Core is hardened and deployment ready in a way that is not available in open source, saving months of work to get it up and running. It is configured, enhanced and optimized to provide the performance and availability required in edge use cases. Already integrated, tested and validated, it removes complexity and risk from deployment projects.
