Telco Systems has partnered with Silver Peak, the global leader in broadband and hybrid WAN solutions, for a new open vCPE solution for managed SD-WAN services.
The new joint vCPE SD-WAN solution is designed to enable service providers to quickly bring new tiered, high performance, virtualized services to market. This open solution also allows telcos and managed service providers to deliver on the ultimate promise of NFV to be an agile, open and flexible service delivery platform that supports any VNF service in parallel to or as part of a service chain with SD-WAN services. This eliminates the time and expense previously required to deploy stand-alone appliances on the customer’s premise for each offered service.
The joint solution integrates the Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect virtual SD-WAN solution with Telco Systems’ Verge platform. Verge is an open, service-ready, plug-and-play vCPE based on industry standard x86 hardware platforms and is part of Telco Systems’ new NFVTime suite. The Silver Peak EdgeConnect virtual SD-WAN solution is a scalable, multi-tenant SD-WAN solution.
According to Telco Systems, by adopting SD-WAN over open vCPE, telcos and managed service providers can immediately serve customers with a best-in-class SD-WAN solution and seamlessly and remotely layer on additional VNF-based network services at any time. These services may be offered with flexible pricing models, such as pay-as-you-grow, try-and-buy and other subscription models.
