Adva unwraps Ensemble Controller to simplify and automate network operations
Summary
Adva added a key piece to its SDN and NFV lineup with todays release of its Ensemble Controller. The controller allows service providers to bridge gaps between legacy brownfield deployments while building towards truly autonomous networks down the road, according to Advas Stephan Rettenberger, SVP, marketing and investor relations. "So the individual building blocks are out there commercially deployed and they have shown improvement, but not in terms of really getting into bigger volume production," Kohn said. The SDN-based Ensemble Controller is integrated across Advas NFV portfolio to manage the operation of physical and virtual network infrastructures. Adva is active across open source communities including Facebooks TIP and OCP, OIF, the Linux Foundation, ONF and MEF, among others.
