Enea together with uCPE supplier Advantech and SDNbucks, an OTT global managed service provider announced a collaboration to simplify procurement and provisioning of enterprise network services including SD-WAN.
A broad catalogue of managed services, built on a common and scalable infrastructure platform, will be made available globally through SDNbucks as a single supplier interface.
The collaboration aims at providing customers with choice and flexibility by eliminating much of the time-consuming work needed to source, onboard, and validate VNFs and NFV infrastructure. Managed services for enterprise networking, including SD-WAN, security and virtual router applications are delivered in partnership with leading VNF vendors.
The NFV infrastructure (NFVI) is comprised of Advantech's line of white box appliances based on Intel® Architecture, and Enea NFV Access, a cloud-native uCPE virtualization platform. Together they form a complete NFVi solution with zero touch provisioning, scaling from entry-level to high-performance devices.
Niek Van der Ven, CEO, SDNbucks
Enterprises will appreciate the simplicity of a single supplier interface that delivers the uCPE platform "As-A-Service" anywhere in the world with default 8x5xNBD RMA services. This complemented with the flexibility to choose and scale VNF services to their liking.
James Yang, VP Advantech Networks & Communications Group
By reducing the complexities in integration of infrastructure and on-boarding of VNFs through ready-made solutions scaling from entry-level to high-performance, we close the gap between supply and demand.
