The partnership between Telco Systems and Advantech enables the rapid deployment of Telco Systems’ NFVTime open vCPE across a range of Advantech white box appliances. The NFVTime suite is a service-ready, plug-and-play vCPE solution integrating white box hardware, NFVi-OS and a broad VNF portfolio that are centrally managed and orchestrated. NFVTime allows telcos and managed service providers the agility to smoothly deploy any VNF service, including SD-WAN, vRouter, vFirewall, vProbe, vSecurity and much more, remotely and at any time with zero touch provisioning.

By deploying this joint open vCPE solution running on high performance, cost optimized white box appliances, telcos and managed service providers can efficiently expand their vCPE-based NFV services targeted at small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) and increase the potential revenues for managed network business services from this segment.

“NFVTime works seamlessly across Advantech’s white box vCPE range bringing telcos and managed service providers a wider choice of performance, port count and network interface types,” said Ween Niu, General Manager of the Networks & Communications Group at Advantech. “We are excited to be working with Telco Systems, one of the leading innovators for service virtualization, and we have strong expectations that our partnership will help service providers and enterprises to gain benefits earlier by shortening the time-to-deployment.”

“We are committed to helping our service provider customers expand their service agility and deploy new business services across all market segments with the appropriate cost structure and resource requirements,” said Raanan Tzemach, Vice President of Product Management at Telco Systems. “For service providers targeting the SMB segment, our collaboration with Advantech is delivering three times the performance at half the cost.”
