Open Virtual SD-WAN Platform Applauded for Removing Limitations and Providing
Choice
Austin, Texas, USA. May 16, 2017. Ensemble, a division of ADVA Optical
Networking, announced today that its SmartWAN platform has won Light Reading's
Leading Lights Award for Most Innovative NFV Product Strategy (Vendor).
Presented last night in Austin, Texas, on the eve of the Big Communications
Event, the award recognizes the value of Ensemble's open virtualized networking
platform for deploying and managing virtual SD-WAN and other NFV services at
scale. With Ensemble SmartWAN, communication service providers (CSPs) can deploy
SD-WAN in an automated and virtualized fashion, enabling low-cost, flexible VPN
services with more features than any other available platform, all hosted on
universal customer premises equipment (uCPE). The solution was chosen from a
shortlist of SD-WAN technologies from major industry players, featuring Huawei,
Netcracker and Versa Networks.
"For our SmartWAN to win in such a competitive field shows the value of our
vision for SD-WAN. We're transforming it from today's monolithic application to
part of a disaggregated service offering," said Prayson Pate, CTO, Ensemble
Division, ADVA Optical Networking. "Our SmartWAN addresses a key gap in today's
marketplace. Built on the principles of NFV and cloud-native infrastucture,
including MANO functionality, it enables CSPs to offer managed SD-WAN solutions
in an automated and virtualized way while retaining the ability to efficiently
deploy additional value-added applications on top. This approach enables
enterprises to leverage these virtualized, feature-rich services at a much lower
cost. SmartWAN is consistent with our vision of open, multi-vendor NFV. It's
part of a uCPE model that incorporates hosting of software-based VNFs on white
box COTS servers and the depolyability and scalability features that are
essential for operator success."
Ensemble SmartWAN enables SD-WAN to be part of an orchestrated, dynamic and
virtualized service portfolio. It utilizes Ensemble Connector and other elements
of the Ensemble suite to provide the ideal virtual infrastructure for secure
hosting of SD-WAN and other best-of-breed VNFs. This combination delivers
benefits for enterprises who are free from ties to vendor-specific technology
and can take advantage of the benefits of NFV in conjunction with their SD-WAN
deployments. At the same time, it presents new opportunities for CSPs. Rather
than threatening their lucrative VPN revenue base, Ensemble SmartWAN enables
them to roll out managed SD-WAN offerings. Ensemble SmartWAN is supported by a
number of key partners, including Silver Peak and Versa Networks, and is in
testing with several global tier 1 organizations.
"This award is clear recognition of our vision for SD-WAN. Our solution is open,
simple and benefitial to all parties. Our SmartWAN takes SD-WAN to the next
level so that more end users can streamline operations and remove IT obstacles,
while CSPs can realize more business opportunities," commented James Buchanan,
general manager, Ensemble Division, ADVA Optical Networking. "Deploying SD-WAN
transforms an organization's network connectivity. But with current solutions,
the benefits of agility and flexibility all too often come at the expense of
added burden on IT departments. Our approach means enterprises can enjoy all the
advantages with none of the operational headaches. And for CSPs, Ensemble
SmartWAN helps to fulfil the ultimate goal of delivering more high-value
services."
