Enea last week announced Enea Edge, a virtualization platform for a broad range of enterprise services running on uCPE.
Targeting the growing need for on-premises and near-premises edge computing and data processing, Enea Edge allows service providers to provision and activate a variety of data-intensive networking and edge services in a flexible and cost-effective way, in any location.
Until now, SD-WAN has been driving enterprise edge services; there is now an increasing market demand for additional services such as private 5G, security, video analytics, IoT (Internet of Things) and carrier Wi-Fi, said Enea. There is therefore a need for a virtualization platform such as Enea Edge, specifically tailored to the requirements of the enterprise edge, easy to deploy in any location, including in thin branches without data centers such as retail outlets and small offices,
Enea Edge addresses the need for a software platform capable of hosting a wider range of premises-based applications and services.
Enea Edge’s small footprint also differs from cloud computing platforms such as OpenStack which are too complex and resource-intensive for uCPE-based solutions.

Efficient and scalable virtualization platforms like Enea Edge enable service providers to roll out any network service or application component in any location on any white-box, all centrally managed and orchestrated.

With Enea Edge, we continue to evolve our resource-efficient open platform, which gives service providers the flexibility to choose the optimal mix of hardware and applications for their enterprise customers.
