Ekinops SD-WAN
Lannion, France
What it is
Ekinops SD-WAN gives service providers options for extending traditional customer-premises routing with advanced connectivity or deploying a full SD-WAN solution. SD-WAN Xpress is a one-box option for SMEs and small sites of large enterprises, designed for deployment through a licence upgrade on OneOS6-enabled hardware. Smart Connect targets SMBs and highly distributed enterprises with small offices, including retail locations. It manages multiple uplinks in active/active or active/passive modes and supports traffic failover in less than 3 seconds. It can also direct traffic to a Secure Service Edge solution for protection at scale. Smart Connect is part of OneOS6 and available on Ekinops pCPE and uCPE routers and the ONEvRouter VNF for white-box hardware. SD-WAN Director manages deployments through a GUI and API across three tiers, with dedicated interfaces for each tier. It supports multi-tenancy, role-based access control and a customer portal for visibility, monitoring and configuration. A REST API supports OSS/BSS integration. Pricing is on request.
