Ensemble's Open Virtualized Networking Platform Enables Service Providers to
Realize New Business Opportunities
Munich, Germany. December 1, 2016. ADVA Optical Networking today introduced its
Ensemble SmartWAN platform. It has been specifically developed to enable the
deployment and management of virtualized software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) solutions
without any of the limitations or drawbacks of today's appliance-based
offerings. Ensemble SmartWAN leverages Ensemble Connector and other elements of
the ADVA Ensemble suite to provide the virtual infrastructure for hosting SD-WAN
and other best-of-breed virtual network functions (VNFs). This combination
ensures enterprises are not locked in to closed monolithic appliances but rather
can take advantage of the benefits of NFV in conjunction with their SD-WAN
deployments. Ensemble SmartWAN is supported by a number of key partners,
including Silver Peak and Versa Networks.
"Ensemble SmartWAN isn't simply a piece of software; it's a philosophy that
embodies everything our team is about. It's open; it's neutral; it's simple.
Ultimately, it's all about choice, ensuring our customers are not locked in to
one technology," said Prayson Pate, CTO, Ensemble Division, ADVA Optical
Networking. "We've been watching the SD-WAN space for some time and recognize
the value that SD-WAN brings to service providers and enterprises alike.
However, we strongly believe that there are additional benefits that can be
realized through the tight integration between NFV and SD-WAN. Our Ensemble
SmartWAN transforms today's SD-WAN from a stand-alone monolithic application to
become part of a rich solution set that enables other VNFs to share all SD-WAN
features. What we've developed here provides the marketplace with something of
real value and clearly takes SD-WAN to a whole new level."
Ensemble SmartWAN addresses a key gap in the marketplace. Current SD-WAN
solutions enable enterprises to develop virtual private networks (VPNs) at more
cost-effective price points than operator-managed MPLS VPNs. However, they
present enterprises with significant operational issues as the IT department is
suddenly responsible for all network management. From a service provider's
perspective, today's SD-WAN solutions are a potential threat to their managed
VPN revenue streams. Ensemble SmartWAN addresses the concerns of each party.
With this technology, service providers can offer managed SD-WAN solutions in an
automated and virtualized manner while retaining the ability to efficiently
deploy additional value-added services on top of their base SD-WAN offerings.
This approach enables enterprises to take advantage of the benefits of these
virtualized, feature-rich services at a much lower cost.
"There can be no question that there's a tremendous surge in demand for SD-WAN
solutions at the moment. It presents enterprises with a compelling business
case. But it's important to understand what comes next and that's where Ensemble
SmartWAN comes in," commented Nav Chander, senior director, service provider
marketing, Silver Peak. "This is a platform that will help service providers
evolve their managed services portfolio to offer virtual SD-WANs and best-of-
breed VNFs from leading VNF suppliers, such as Silver Peak, and this is an
enormous leap. We've worked closely with the ADVA Ensemble team to ensure that
our EdgeConnect-SP SD-WAN solution can be introduced seamlessly with SmartWAN.
The importance of this simplicity and ease of use cannot be overstated."
Ensemble SmartWAN is an open, vendor-neutral platform that enhances SD-WAN
solutions through its streamlined zero-touch provisioning and management
features. These capabilities are another aspect that sets it apart from today's
SD-WAN solutions. It uses NFV management and orchestration principles to ensure
that service providers can integrate virtual SD-WANs into larger service
offerings. Ensemble SmartWAN also supports overlay and underlay networks.
Ensemble SmartWAN achieves this by interfacing directly with MPLS VPNs without
requiring a CE router. What's more, Ensemble SmartWAN can also provide the MPLS
peering and tunnels of the CE router, eliminating the need for the router
altogether.
"Our team is committed to developing truly open and software-based SD-WANs.
That's why we're strong advocates of Ensemble SmartWAN," noted Kumar Mehta,
founder and CDO, Versa Networks. "What the Ensemble team is developing is a
platform that will help service providers meet their business and end-customer
needs, and align well with their long-term goals of delivering more high-value
services. Ensemble SmartWAN and Versa software-based SD-WAN and SD-Security
together enable that through a complete NFV-based solution for branch networking
and security. The timing is right, as interest in virtual SD-WANs is growing
rapidly and this will be an exciting space to watch."
