Intel® Select Solutions for uCPE – ADVA Ensemble Connector* Configurations

Last month, Intel and ADVA announced the new Intel® Select Solutions for uCPE with ADVA Ensemble Connector.* These universal CPE (uCPE) systems bring the powerful performance of Intel® Xeon® D processor-based systems to the edge of communication service provider networks for agile service provisioning. They incorporate Ensemble Connector, which is designed to host multivendor VNFs. The platform comes with advanced networking support, including MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 compliant services, support for popular virtual routing protocols, and for industry-standard encapsulation and tunneling formats. The Ensemble Connector also supports OpenStack* controller and OpenStack Compute for cloud services.
