B4N vCPE Starter Kit for quick start of service vCPE

Product
Developers: Programmable Networks (Brain4Net)
Date of the premiere of the system: 2016
Technology: SDN Software-Defined Network Software-defined networks

Brain4Net, the developer of network solutions of new generation based on SDN and NFV technologies, announced in September, 2016 release of the 'boxed' solution B4N vCPE Starter Kit for quick start of service vCPE without change of the existing infrastructure of the telecom operator.

According to reports of the analytical agency SDxCentral, service vCPE (virtual Customer Premises Equipment) is the NFV technology (Network Functions Virtualization) which is the most demanded among a set of cases of application, is started and tested in many large telecom operators worldwide. The essence of approach consists in replacement of the client specialized equipment by the device which contains computing resources for start of virtual network services (the router, the firewall, the WAN optimizer, etc.), or just provides connection with a cloud of the operator where similar functions are started. Approaches differ with location of functionality of CPE (on client side or in a cloud of the operator). Regardless of arrangement, the order and control of a set of virtual services is exercised on a centralized basis through a personal account of the user.

Main advantages of vCPE before the existing approach to providing client services are:

  • significant decrease in operating expenses of the operator at the expense of:
    • process automation of management of service;
    • unification of the equipment;
    • self-services of the client.

  • possibility of quick start of new services;

    • possibility of operational testing of new services;
    • increase in loyalty of users due to simplicity of management of service and the speed of its providing.

B4N vCPE Starter Kit from Brain4Net-the 'boxed' solution for quick start of service vCPE without significant changes of infrastructure of the operator.

When using B4N vCPE Starter Kit, the functionality of vCPE can be placed:

  • In a cloud of the operator. For this purpose it will be required to use the virtualization platform on which vCPE will be placed. As a hypervisor VMware of ESXi, KVM, Hyper-V or XenServer can be used. At the same time, the high density of placement of vCPE provides optimal use of virtual resources. At placement of functionality of vCPE in a cloud to the client the device for ensuring connection with a cloud of the operator is installed.
  • On the customer's website. In this case computing resources client are used by x86 of the device.

Work of the solution does not require implementation of the specialized systems of orchestration - in both cases management of vCPE happens through OSS/BSS a system using REST API.

Among functionality of B4N vCPE Starter Kit it is possible to select:

Approach is aimed at a possibility of testing of the user demand for service without initial capital costs.
