Mansfield, Massachusetts,
Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative
SDN/NFV, CE 2.0, MPLS and IP solutions, announced today that the
company has developed a uCPE proof-of-concept (PoC) together with
Vodafone Group and its ecosystem partners
Arm and NXP Semiconductors based on its
NFVTime solution.
Telco Systems, Arm, Vodafone and NXP Semiconductors
developed this PoC in an effort to prove the benefits that can be
achieved with uCPE. According to Telco Systems, these benefits for
service providers include a broad portfolio of enterprise services
and powerful service chaining of containerized and virtualized
network functions that are delivered on high performance yet cost
effective Arm-based white boxes.
During the PoC, the NFVTime uCPE demonstrated support for
multiple enterprise services, including SD-WAN, routing and
firewall, along with the ability to easily add or subtract
additional enterprise services. Multiple applications were also
launched and tested on the NFVTime hybrid virtualization and
container platform.
NFVTime was tested by Vodafone Group in its labs in the UK for
both SME and enterprise use cases. This PoC marked the first time
that a fully orchestrated mix of container and virtual
machine-based network functions running on the same platform has
been successfully demonstrated.
"We are proud to be working with these Tier 1 market leaders Arm
and Vodafone," stated Ariel Efrati,
CEO at Telco Systems. "The hybrid virtualized and containerized
network functions environment, demonstrated by our NFVTime uCPE
platform, offers service providers an efficient and cost-effective
solution for delivering on-premise enterprise services. This is a
crucial step towards achieving truly disaggregated, cloud native
environments at the network edge for Edge Computing, IoT and
more."
The testing for this PoC was performed on multiple Arm
Neoverse-based processors designed by NXP Semiconductors. The
Vodafone team deployed and managed VNF and CNF applications running
on an efficient 4-core Arm processor. A 15 Gbps throughput was
delivered on an 8-core Arm processor with NFVTime offloading data
to hardware acceleration blocks and demonstrating the ability to
handle demanding traffic requirements. Combined together, these
results highlight the solution's high performance and low carbon
footprint.
