Enea aims for Carrier-grade Open Source Networking Operating System (COSNOS) – the software foundation for next generation networking hardware

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 6, 2015. Yesterday, Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic: ENEA) and
ARM announced multiple ARM-based reference implementations of the Open Platform
for Network Function Virtualization (OPNFV) software (read more about it
here (http://www.enea.com/Corporate/Press/Press-releases/Press
-release/?item=1008261)).

Enea’s strategic direction is towards the Carrier-Grade Open Source Network
Operating System (COSNOS), and to be a leading provider of software platforms
for next generation network nodes and functions. The OPNFV architecture is a
given component in those platforms, and Enea is committed to working together
with customers and leading hardware vendors as a key contributor in relevant
open source communities.
“Integrating and configuring these NFV building blocks on ARM in an early
developer release is an industry first, and will likely jump start integration
and application development,” said Daniel Forsgren, SVP Product Management,
Enea. “We will upstream as much as possible to the OPNFV baseline, giving the
community an ARM-based open source NFV platform supporting a set of example
Virtual Network Function (VNF) applications.”

As a starting point, Enea will assist customers and partners with OPNFV
-compliant environments and solutions, providing true choice for customers and
users. As an independent software vendor, customers have often relied on Enea to
guarantee hardware independence, and by delivering OPNFV-compliant environments
across multiple hardware platforms, Enea continue to offer that advantage.

Further down the road, COSNOS is meant to incorporate all aspects of NFV and may
consist of everything but the application itself, including operating systems,
middleware, and necessary open source building blocks from industry
collaboration projects (OPNFV, OpenDataPlane, OpenStack, OpenFlow, Open
vSwitch).
