Thunder CFW 100 Gbps Virtual Solution Helps
Speed the Transition to NFV and Future-proof Networks for
5G
A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) today announced that it has shipped
the industry-leading 100 Gbps virtual machine for 5G secure
application services with the Thunder® Convergent Firewall (CFW).
The solution has already been adopted by a major telco provider in
the Middle East for its 5G environment. The 100 Gbps virtual
machine provides the fastest throughput available in the market and
helps customers transition to an agile, scalable and
software-defined network function virtualization infrastructure
(NFVi) required for the commercial roll-out of 5G networks.
As mobile service providers transition to 5G, NFV provides many
advantages in the consolidation of network functions and the
ability to develop virtual infrastructures that are more flexible
and scalable with a lower TCO. Service providers can scale services
up or down or move network functions from location to location to
respond to changing demands. It is clear 5G networks will drive a
whole range of new services for customers. In fact, according to a
recent survey conducted by A10 Networks, smart cities were
identified as a top use-case driver by service providers. Security
and flexibility of the network will be critical.
“The transition to 5G is upon us, and now is the time for mobile
service providers to begin the transition to NFVi to prepare their
networks for 5G. A10 Networks’ Thunder CFW consolidates multiple
network functions to provide lower latency and total cost of
ownership. Mobile operators can more quickly transition to NFV and
prepare for the 5G transition with Thunder CFW’s industry-leading
scale and performance, and flexible form-factors,” said Yasir
Liaqatullah, vice president of product management, A10
Networks.
A10 Networks’ security solutions are being adopted by major
telco providers and are being consumed in both physical and virtual
form factors. These service providers are transitioning portions of
their network infrastructure to virtual network functions (VNF),
while maintaining other physical network functions (PNF). By
providing both virtual and physical solutions, A10 Networks helps
ease the integration of combining PNF and VNF in the same
infrastructure. Customers select the Thunder CFW to protect their
networks with highest scale physical appliances combined with
industry-leading performance of virtual appliances. A10 Networks
also partners with leading orchestration providers to help give
customers integrated orchestration and management across physical
and virtual functions.
