DALLAS, July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Building upon
its leadership in edge-to-edge virtualized capabilities, AT&T*
now offers the Cisco 5000 Series Enterprise Network Compute System
(ENCS) as part of its Edge Solutions portfolio to help businesses
increase their networking agility.
Unlike traditional network hardware that performs a single
function, Cisco ENCS does more with virtual network functions –
including routing, switching, firewall, and WAN optimization. And
it can be dynamically upgraded as needs evolve or change. It is a
fully virtualized platform designed for the Cisco Enterprise
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) architecture.
Cisco ENCS with AT&T will provide these functions on a
single piece of AT&T-managed Cisco hardware with Cisco
software. This NFV solution is available as an option from AT&T
for businesses that prefer a Cisco-based infrastructure. Multiple
configurations and a library of virtual network functions give
customers in nearly 90 countries and territories1 the
flexibility they need in their networking strategy.
"No business has the same network needs, and our expanded
relationship with Cisco is helping us support more businesses that
need managed services," said Josh
Goodell, vice president, Edge Solutions, AT&T Business.
"As companies continue to transform their businesses to digital
models, having more choices becomes more important than ever."
"Modern networks oxygenate today's business," said Sachin Gupta, senior vice president of
Enterprise Networking, Cisco. "Companies like AT&T
understand the power of combining secure, high-performance hardware
and software designed specifically for network function
virtualization. Cisco ENCS delivers an unprecedented level of
agility and enables the modern enterprise to deploy network
services in minutes, rather than days and weeks, with
confidence."
