IP Infusion recently introduced the Universal SD-Edge solution to offer next generation of uCPE solutions at the WAN Edge for connecting distributed branches and Enterprises to hybrid cloud environments.
Along with global 24/7 support, IP Infusion offers a fully validated and packaged solution which includes the DANOS-Vyatta edition (DVe) network operating system and off-the-shelf x86 platforms. White box platforms from Silicom are the first in a growing list of Universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) offerings.
IP Infusion is collaborating with industry-leading ecosystem partners to provide best-in-class virtual network functions (VNF). Universal SD-Edge, part of the IP Infusion’s Open SD-Edge platform, gives Enterprises and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) the increased agility to add new services and lower operational costs. New services can be deployed quickly by onboarding third-party VNFs such as Firewall, SD-WAN, and WAN optimization.
The Universal SD-Edge platform is built upon the DANOS-Vyatta edition network operating system (NOS). The DANOS-Vyatta edition is based on the Linux Foundation DANOS open source NOS, the first open source, carrier-targeted NOS. AT&T has broadly deployed DANOS-Vyatta edition across multiple white box use cases in fixed and mobile networks.
Under the agreement with AT&T, IP Infusion is the value-added integrator of DANOS-Vyatta edition and has the rights to sell DANOS-Vyatta edition as a commercial solution and provide ongoing support for carrier customers who need additional integration expertise. It also provides the flexibility for users to choose from multiple hardware vendors.
Atsushi Ogata, CEO and President of IP Infusion
With the Open SD-Edge platform, we bring NFV principles to the customer premise, enabling our customers to reduce costs by centralizing their management and consolidating hardware appliances onto a single general-purpose white box.
