Enea, a global supplier of network software platforms and world class services, announced the expansion of the Enea NFV Lab – a multi-architecture, OPNFV Pharos compliant, lab infrastructure, together with a range of NFV related prototyping, development, testing, and deployment services.
Enea said that the Multi-architecture NFV Lab Market consolidation, workload fluctuations, and new use cases are driving the need for software with edge-native characteristics that is built for constrained hardware environments, architectural flexibility and ease of management.
Operators, telecom equipment manufacturers, and virtual network function (VNF) vendors can now benefit from extended multi-architecture specifications and professional services available with the Enea NFV Lab infrastructure. This is particularly interesting to spur product and service innovation around uCPE, SD-WAN, and 5G.
