13-Jun-2019: Dell EMC Introduces Generic Network Device, the VEP
Dell EMC has significantly expanded the capabilities of its Virtual Edge Platform (VEP), a multi-function network device, by certifying and making available ADVA Ensemble software – delivering a choice of more than 50 virtual network functions (VNFs). This collaboration with ADVA will enable the software of a choice for Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) to support a wide variety of VNF’s including virtual firewall, WAN Optimisation, IoT, virtual test, voice, wireless and many others.
The Dell EMC VEP provides an open Intel® architecture-based platform to support multiple simultaneous VNFs with numerous proprietary physical devices that can be consolidated into this single universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) while maintaining the high performance levels needed to host many. This agreement gives customers access to Ensemble Harmony Ecosystem, a unique multi-vendor environment with unparalleled variety and choice that enables customers to avoid vendor lock-in and unleash new service innovation in an instant.
What this means is that using the VEP, customers get to choose software modules from more than 50 different vendors; the device also serves as an integration point for numerous devices from different vendors.
All these are made possible via the software defined networking (SDN) technology or the network functions virtualisation (NFV), refers to the process of separating network functions from hardware to create a virtualized network that can run on generic hardware, and the adoption of ADVA Ensemble software.
In summary, the VEP functions like a PC which allows users to install software of their choice such as firewall or load balancing; compare to dedicated function network devices such as the network switch.
