NEXCOM and Enea Jointly Develop Open Source Software Kit for Secure SD-WAN

Enea and NEXCOM have mutually built up an open source programming pack for secure SD-WAN, making it simple for frameworks integrators and correspondence specialist co-ops to assess and convey endeavor networks utilizing all inclusive client premises hardware. The unit incorporates flexiWAN, an open source SD-WAN application, and pfSense, an open source firewall, both virtualized to run on uCPE. Additionally included are robotization contents for onboarding and testing, just as broad how-to-guides.

The open source software is configured for Enea's uCPE virtualization and management platform, Enea NFV Access, and two of NEXCOM's Intel-based whitebox appliances – DTA 1160 and TCA 5170B.

The two equipment stages give distinctive systems administration limits at various value focuses, covering a wide scope of execution necessities for different use cases. NEXCOM's DTA 1160 depends on an Intel Atom processor and intended for lightweight, scale-out outstanding tasks at hand, while TCA 5170B depends on an Intel Xeon D processor for high virtualized execution. The two arrangements have been tried to meet throughput prerequisites of generally little and medium sized branches. The arrangement brief was made by Intel Corporation.

Giving a total application structure, including open source Virtual Network Functions and every fundamental arrangement, the product pack altogether abbreviates the time expected to raise an answer on uCPE. It can undoubtedly be adjusted to oblige inclinations for explicit VNF merchants by supplanting the open source VNFs with other SD-WAN or firewall VNFs, or expanding them with extra applications.

"Our collaboration with Enea is part of our strategy," says Allan Chiu, VP of Network & Communication Solutions at NEXCOM. "It allows us to bring pre-verified solution kits to the market for quick and easy adoption by end customers. We hope to increase our collaborative efforts in the years to come."

"The demand for uCPE-based SD-WAN and security is growing rapidly, and this kit is a great way to shorten time-to-market," says Karl Mörner, Vice President of Product Management at Enea. "We think of it not only as a starter kit, but also as a complete, cost-effective software solution for deploying secure SD-WAN."

"Leveraging the open source SD-WAN of flexiWAN allows vendors such as Enea and NEXCOM to ship their products pre-installed with a ready-to-use solution," says Amir Zmora, CEO and Co-Founder of flexiWAN. "The system automatically registers with flexiWAN's cloud management, and users can open a free account and start using the system."
