Virtual CPE solution

Calsoft Labs
Virtual CPE solution
Overview
Telecom Service Providers are facing challenges on multiple fronts with flattening revenues, increasing service requests and infrastructure
costs. Rapid technology transitions, new service launches, security, privacy and metering requirements make Service Providers incur
significant amounts of CAPEX to install new CPE devices, and OPEX to update device software on a regular basis.
Faced with big investment requirements Service Providers are looking for solutions that could reduce capital and operational expenditures,
while preserving the ability to deploy current services and address new service opportunities. Virtual CPE is a credible alternative to address
these challenges.
Calsoft Labs Virtual CPE solution
Calsoft Labs offers a high performance Virtual CPE stack complete with OpenStack (Heat) orchestration capabilities to help customers rapidly
deploy Virtual CPE solutions on standard x86 servers. The data plane is optimized using Intel® DPDK library for high performance and
scalability in KVM-Linux environment.
