Problem
Service providers and data centers face challenges in managing IPv4 address shortages and scaling their networks to meet the demands of 5G and IoT without incurring significant hardware costs. Traditional networking solutions often rely on proprietary hardware, leading to vendor lock-in and limited scalability.
Solution
NFWare provides virtualized network functions, including carrier-grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) and load balancing, that run on standard x86 servers. Their software-based approach allows operators to process high volumes of traffic, up to 400-440 Gbps per server, while optimizing hardware utilization and reducing capital expenditures by up to 70%. NFWare's solutions enable seamless migration to IPv6 and offer flexibility to scale network capacity from 500 Mbps to 5 Tbps, either standalone or in a cluster. The virtualized nature of the solution allows for rapid deployment and simplified management, contributing to operational efficiency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are telecom operators, ISPs, and data centers of any size that need to address IPv4 exhaustion, scale network infrastructure efficiently for 5G and IoT, and reduce hardware costs through virtualization.
