For example, a CSP can easily close security gaps by updating a firewall service remotely, virus protection, and spin up a WAN optimization service, all through remote orchestration and without the need to install more hardware. They also greatly enhance operational flexibility by enabling new and scaled-out services without the need for truck rolls. NFV based software solutions and vE-CPE equipment offer substantial CapEx and OpEx savings by replacing multiple special purpose appliances with a single platform. The vertical silos with vendor lock-in are transformed into a horizontal mix-and-match approach that Advantech and key software partners are embracing to allow customers gain maximum flexibility by procuring hardware and software separately.
While legacy networking solutions consist of tightly integrated hardware and software from a single supplier, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) -based vE-CPE allows for logical and flexible separation of hardware and software. The platform is primarily destined for communication service providers (CSPs) and enterprises leveraging the advantages of NFV and SDN to replace fixed function systems with an open platform running these functions as VNFs.
The FWA-1010VC is an off-the-shelf customer premise equipment (CPE) platform based on Intel x86 architecture optimized for deploying virtual network functions (VNFs) and services in enterprise and small to medium businesses.
