Wind River Introduces NFV Platform to Speed Up vCPE Deployments

Wind River has introduced a new Network Function Virtualization(NFV) platform, Wind River Titanium Server CPE that is designed to speed the deployment of early NFV use cases such as virtualized customer premises equipment (vCPE). By leveraging the Titanium Server CPE platform, service providers can deploy cost-sensitive NFV applications such as a virtual business CPE (vBCPE) operating on as few as two servers, said Wind River.

The virtualization of CPE functions, traditionally implemented as discrete physical appliances, reduces operating expenses (OPEX) through more efficient utilization of compute resources, increased service deployment agility, and the elimination of “truck rolls” required to update and maintain equipment at remote locations. These OPEX savings may be achieved whether the virtualized CPE functions are hosted in a server at the customer premises, in a service provider point-of-presence (PoP), or in a central data center. 

The Titanium Server CPE launch follows additional vBCPE work from Wind River, such as the recently announced multifunction vBCPE reference design developed in collaboration with NFV software partners Brocade, Check Point, InfoVista, and Riverbed

Use cases such as virtual CPE are emerging as early applications of NFV that can deliver significant operational cost savings as well as improved deployment agility.
