While the uCPE concept started with virtualized networking functions (VNFs), its future rests in the ability to incorporate many additional functions, thus morphing into an on-prem edge compute platform.
Creating virtualization on a uCPE requires integrating multiple software components on a COTS white box and then maintaining and updating (lifecycle management) these components over the device’s lifetime. Such a framework requires an open, vendor-neutral platform (hardware and apps) that supports your choice of vendors.
A uCPE solution must be designed with the flexibility to support cost-efficient low-resource devices for sites requiring only one or two applications, as well as more powerful devices for sites that leverage uCPE compute power to run several applications.
uCPE-based solutions should support operation, administration and management (OA&M) of up to tens of thousands of applications and edge devices per enterprise. The solution should include a robust MANO for handling the full IT lifecycle – from deployment through operation, monitoring, updates and troubleshooting.
Edgility is an agile edge compute software suite, providing enterprise IT teams and MSPs (Managed Services Providers) with a 360-degree toolset for automating the deployment, operation and lifecycle management of thousands of edge devices and IT services across multiple branches, home and “mobile” offices forming the enterprise WAN.
