MANSFIELD, Massachusetts and
DALLAS, December 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Telco Systems, the leading
provider of innovative SDN/NFV, CE 2.0, MPLS and IP solutions, and
Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a
global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today jointly announced
the launch of the first vSecurity VNF based on Telco Systems'
NFVTime and Trend Micro's Virtual Network Function Suite
(VNFS).
The new joint offering combines rich industry experiences and
enables telcos and managed service providers to deliver
best-of-breed network security services, including intrusion
prevention and web security, with Arm-based uCPE white box
solutions.
NFVTime is an advanced NFVi-OS that can turn any white box
appliance into a carrier-class uCPE solution. NFVTime comes with a
broad portfolio of certified VNFs, including SD-WAN, vRouter,
vFirewall, vProbe, vSecurity and more, that are centrally managed
and orchestrated by either Telco Systems' uCPE manager or any other
MANO solution. NFVTime can run on both Intel x86 and Arm
architectures, seamlessly providing high performance on COTS cost
optimized devices.
Trend Micro's VNFS offers elastic and high performance network
security functions providing threat defense and enabling more
effective, faster protection. It is natively crafted and optimized
for the NFV infrastructure and deploys the Data Plane Development
Kit for fast packet processing as well as featuring advanced
security threat technologies that provide greater and more cost
efficient enhancements. VNFS also scans network traffic and
performs designated inspection functions, such as intrusion
prevention, URL filtering and application control.
The joint vSecurity offering extends Telco Systems' Arm-based
VNF ecosystem that runs on the company's open uCPE NFVi software.
By offering Arm-based uCPE devices, Telco Systems provides its
customers with more options for uCPE hardware selection without
adding deployment or operation complexities due the NFVTime's
seamless support multi-technology architectures.
Dr. Terence Liu, Vice President
of the Network Threat Defense Technology Group at Trend Micro
stated, "uCPE offers a remotely manageable platform and allows
telcos and managed service providers to easily and flexibly deploy
network services to achieve higher customer satisfaction. The joint
offering is based on Arm architecture, which delivers higher
performance for less cost. We are happy to collaborate with Telco
Systems to help our customers deliver high quality network security
services in the new NFV era."
"vSecurity based on Trend Micro's market leading Virtual Network
Function Suite is an important addition to our growing Arm-based
VNF ecosystem," said Raanan Tzemach, Vice President of Product
Management and Marketing at Telco Systems. "We are proud to lead
the market innovations and allow our customers more choices to meet
the deployment and management of their VNF services."
