Enea showcases complete framework for VNF management at MWC


NFV service providers now have a proven and mature alternative for both network
management (NMS) and virtual device management

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, February 15, 2016 – Enea® (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA), a global
supplier of network software platforms and world class services, today announced
the integration of Enea® ElementCenter NMS and Enea® On-device Management. The
new network management offering provides a standards-based and integrated
framework for NFV service orchestration.
A full demonstration will be available in the Enea booth (7J30; Hall 7) during
Mobile World Congress, February 22-25, 2016.

In order to rapidly deploy and efficiently manage services provided by network
functions in an NFV environment, they need to be modeled in the YANG data
modeling language and managed over the NETCONF network configuration protocol.
By adopting a standards-based and integrated framework, service providers can
reduce management and configuration costs, while increasing the agility in
deploying services at scale.

Enea’s mature and proven framework supports all major protocols and provides an
extensive set of carrier grade management features through a comprehensive user
interface and APIs. The framework includes a management agent for virtual
networking devices (Enea On-Device Management) and a Network Management System
(Enea ElementCenter NMS).

Layered view of the demonstration:

  · Enea ElementCenter is a model-driven Network Management System (NMS) that
configures, monitors and controls both Physical (PNFs) and Virtual Network
Functions (VNFs). It controls device communications, data storage and
statistics, through a customizable modeled web-based user interface driven from
NETCONF. Additionally, it generates SOAP and REST northbound interfaces from
service models for OSS integration.
  · Enea On-device management is a mature management agent that provides a rich
set of management APIs. It integrates northbound interfaces (NETCONF, SNMP, XML
-RPC and CLI) that provide access to alarm, performance, inventory,
provisioning, configuration and security related information.
  · Enea COSNOS is a system wide software platform that incorporates all aspects
of NFV and includes operating systems, middleware, and necessary open source
building blocks from industry collaboration projects (OPNFV, OpenStack, Open
vSwitch, etc.).

“Service providers are now facing new and tougher challenges, and exponential
traffic volumes together with an evolving infrastructure make network management
more complex and costly”, said Daniel Forsgren, SVP Product Management, Enea.
“Using Enea’s end-to-end platform infrastructure, customers can focus on their
core competencies, which are the network applications and services themselves.”
