Universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) platform enables Service Providers to deliver a variety of software-defined applications in the cloud with simplicity
SANTA CLARA, May 19, 2020 – IP Infusion, a leading provider of network disaggregation solutions for telecom and data communications services, today announced it will deliver and support DANOS-Vyatta edition for Universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) with the introduction of the Open SD-Edge platform. By leveraging DANOS-Vyatta edition software, which is widely deployed at scale for multiple, white box use cases in AT&T's production network, service providers and their customers can exploit the many benefits of open networking and disaggregation.
DANOS-Vyatta edition is based on DANOS open source version of AT&T's Vyatta code. DANOS is the first carrier-targeted network operating system (NOS) project hosted by the Linux Foundation. By pre-integrating with the FRR (FRRouting) and DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) projects, DANOS facilitates evaluations and Proof of Concepts for VNFs and applications.
The Open SD-Edge platform supports a range of uCPE use cases and delivers a platform for operational simplicity, agile deployment of virtualized services and lower CAPEX, leading to reduced total cost of ownership. It includes white box hardware, DANOS-Vyatta edition, and hosts third-party Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) for SD-WAN, routing, VPN, and firewall support for VNFs on a general-purpose appliance. This eliminates the need for stacks of proprietary equipment and software that require specialized IT skills to install, configure, and maintain.
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 allows provides the flexibility for users to choose from multiple hardware vendors.
DANOS-Vyatta edition now covers cell site router (CSR) and uCPE applications in a common platform for both wide area and local area networking.
The three new Open SD-Edge use cases planned for delivery in 2020 are:
- Virtual SD-Edge – General availability in Q2'20
Available in virtual form-factor to securely extend VPN to the public or private cloud and deliver scalable WAN, Security and CG-NAT functions.
- Branch SD-Edge – General availability in Q3'20
Available in a white-box or virtual form-factor for securely interconnecting branch offices and migrating workloads to the cloud.
- Universal SD-Edge – General availability in Q4'20
Cloud managed uCPE for enterprise/branch connectivity including security, SD-WAN and WAN optimization use cases, with the flexibility to add VNF services from third parties.
"As a leader in disaggregated networking, IP Infusion's Open SD-Edge platform allows our customers a streamlined path to migrate to Software-Defined services, simplify network infrastructure and management, while future-proofing their networks as their business needs evolve," said Atsushi Ogata, President and CEO, IP Infusion.
