Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative SDN & NFV and multi-service Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and MPLS edge solutions, Wednesday announced the release of its first two apps for its TelcoApps™ Platform - vFirewall and vRouter to be used as distributed network functions virtualization (NFV) throughout telecom networks. TelcoApps, a central control and orchestration platform runs on Telco Systems’ CloudMetro distributed NFV demarcation and aggregation platforms. 
According to Telco Systems, the vFirewall which is based on Check Point’s industry-leading firewall and security technology empowers service providers with the ability to centrally manage and execute vFirewall instances based on their customers’ needs and service-level agreements. The other app, vRouter virtualizes Layer 3 routing functions, giving service providers greater flexibility in service design while promoting significant cost-savings. 
Telco said that service providers will be able to take advantage of third party, “best of breed” applications as they evolve their networks toward virtualization. 

We are excited by the enthusiastic response to our TelcoApps product family by leading solutions providers like Check Point, as well as other domain experts and third parties,” declared. As network management and control moves from hardware orientation to software, service providers will be able to experience a steep increase in network efficiencies and service capabilities. The time to start evolving to virtualization is now.
