AT&T has recently rebranded its Network Functions on Demand service as FlexWare and is making it available in 150 countries through the AT&T Network on Demand platform.
The rebranding comes with additional support for new devices and enhanced functionality. AT&T is also adding Palo Alto Networks next-generation security platform to its catalog of best-of-breed VNFs.
With AT&T FlexWare, business customers can set up multiple virtual network functions (VNFs), such as a router and a firewall, on a single FlexWare device and deploy them in different countries.Businesses can mix and match FlexWare devices and applications to address the needs of their various global locations while simplifying their technical refresh cycles. For example, they can start by deploying FlexWare device with a virtual security application with their existing routers and then add other virtualized functions on the same device, as needed, over time.
AT&T claims its Network on Demand platform which was launched in 2015, boasts more than 1,700 businesses across multiple industries.
