EKINOPS on Thursday announced its first major 10Gb/s access win in Europe with a seven-figure contract.
Ekinops recently released 10G-capable Ethernet Access Devices (EAD) and routers for the Enterprise Edge connectivity market with the ambition of entering this high-end segment. After undergoing the validation process necessary to gain acceptance from service providers the products collected favourable feedback, which resulted in this major win in the first half of this year.
The project, delivered by a European Tier 1 service provider, relies on Ekinops 10G routers to build an entire communication infrastructure for a major national security agency. The Ekinops solutions, installed in various data centers across the country, will manage keys and security policies according to high availability mechanisms while offering protection against attacks.
In combination with Ekinops 10G routers and VPN gateways, Ekinops will supply its customer with a selection of existing solutions designed for small and medium size enterprise branches, all running on the same middleware, OneOS6. Ekinops’ portfolio of software products, running on OneOS6, combines routing, firewall, high-end VPN functionalities, SD-WAN, SBC, WAN Optimization, together with other VNFs, that can be enabled when needed. This comprehensive offering enables customers to replace managing multiple vendors’ operating systems with a single harmonized management solution, realizing cost-savings and simplifying management of resources.
Philippe Moulin, Chief Operating Officer of Access Products and Services at Ekinops
The key here is our capacity to deliver a high-throughput, completely integrated multi-function access solution. We are proud to have gained the level of trust required by the service provider and the end-user for this very high-profile project.
Didier Brédy, CEO, Ekinops
Our offering is differentiated with a high performance-over-price ratio which explains why our new 10G routers and Ethernet Access Devices (EAD) are already a success with significant volumes shipped.
