Silver Peak has announced expanded collaboration with Ciena, bringing together Silver Peak network functions virtualization (NFV) and Ciena universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) to create new service delivery models for communications service providers.
The Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge platform uniquely unifies SD-WAN, routing, segmentation and WAN optimization into a single NFV software instance that runs on the Ciena 3906 and 3926 platforms, creating the foundation for a modern business-driven WAN edge.
The Silver Peak EdgeConnect NFV, supported by Ciena’s ability to host multiple virtual network functions (VNFs) and Ethernet connectivity services, frees CSPs to offer a virtually limitless portfolio of connectivity and enhanced managed SD-WAN services to medium and large enterprises, accelerating new revenue streams.
