News summary:
- As demand rises for faster processing speeds and heightened
security, enterprises and operators need dynamic edge cloud
tools
- Adtran’s Ensemble Cloudlet is an open, modular cloud OS with
management tools for scalable, cost-effective edge cloud
deployments, while the Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design
boosts compute-intensive applications like SD-WAN/SSE, NaaS and
AI/ML
- Together, the solution delivers optimized edge cloud
performance, advanced security and an ecosystem of pre-integrated
software
Adtran today announced that it is integrating the Intel NetSec
Accelerator Reference Design with its Ensemble Cloudlet solution to
enhance edge cloud deployments with advanced security, faster data
processing and improved networking performance. With the increasing
demand for robust edge cloud solutions, Intel’s reference design
for expansion cards provides a flexible way to deploy encryption
acceleration and compute offload capabilities. Used in combination
with Ensemble Cloudlet, it gives service providers and enterprises
a cost-effective and highly efficient way to meet the increasing
need for modular and scalable cloud infrastructure at the network
edge and customer premises. The extension of Ensemble Cloudlet to
support Intel’s technology offers a host of benefits, such as
zero-touch provisioning and migration, backup and recovery
capabilities for edge cloud infrastructure and access to the
industry’s broadest ecosystem of pre-integrated software
application partners.
“By integrating the Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design
with our Ensemble Cloudlet, we’re providing a solution perfectly
tailored for the challenges of today’s edge cloud networks. This
combination not only streamlines workload hosting and bolsters
network performance, but it also delivers a turnkey platform that
merges scalable processing with intuitive control,” said Mike
Heffner, GM of business solutions at Adtran. “Our Ensemble Harmony
ecosystem, with its broad spectrum of pre-integrated software
partners and support for both virtualized and containerized
workloads, exemplifies our commitment to versatility. The goal is
to empower operators and enterprises to efficiently roll out new
services, sidestepping the need for additional server investments.
This collaboration goes beyond interoperability; it’s about
optimizing every facet of edge cloud deployments for our
customers.”
The Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design delivers an
advanced, Intel processor-based PCIe add-in card designed to
support edge cloud processor-intensive workloads. Paired with
Ensemble Cloudlet, it empowers operators to seamlessly orchestrate
and manage mission-critical edge applications running on a
cost-effective and scalable server. This compact server-on-a-card
improves performance, scale and efficiency in enterprise and
service provider edge cloud setups. It’s also ideal for security
workloads such as IPsec, SSL/TLS, firewall, SASE, analytics and
inferencing. The solution can support various use cases such as
network-as-a-service (NaaS), secure networking overlays including
SD-WAN/SSE/ZTNA, and AI/ML processing offload. These use cases can
be seamlessly dropped into existing server infrastructure within
the customer’s IT environment without the need to replace or add
new server equipment. The integrated platform enables operators of
edge cloud infrastructure to optimize the management and control of
applications through an intuitive, unified interface.
“Organizations face complex challenges at the edge with handling
increasing amounts of compute processing and network traffic and
constraints from space, power and thermal perspectives. Getting the
best out of edge cloud deployments means utilizing flexible yet
powerful hardware that works seamlessly with open and intelligent
software solutions,” commented Bob Ghaffari, VP of network and edge
group, and GM of enterprise and cloud network division at Intel.
“Integrating our Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design with
Ensemble Cloudlet creates a modular way to supplement existing host
platforms with targeted compute capabilities that can be managed
with less effort and makes it easy to accelerate network and
security workloads at the edge, which can help reduce TCO.”
