Accelerating the Networking and Telecom Industry Transformation
The networking and telecom industries are undergoing a transformation due to modern advances that promise cost savings and flexibility. As a result, networking and telecom equipment is taking the form of Linux with virtualized servers where software can be deployed and customized as needed. However, if the proper software architecture is not deployed on servers with the transition to next generation architecture, competitive advantage and time-to-market is lost.
“6WIND exists to enable the network architecture transformation with our 6WINDGate packet processing software that is designed to bypass network bottlenecks before they occur,” said Eric Carmès, 6WIND CEO and Founder. “By solving critical performance challenges, 6WINDGate enables a cost-effective value proposition to enable the future with flexible and open architectures such as NFV and SDN.”
