Ethernity Networks announced the introduction of its ENET vRouter network appliance, enabling 100Gbps routing functionality in inexpensive commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers.
It is ideal for communications service providers, internet service providers, and enterprise data center administrators designing next-generation programmable networks, says Ethernity Networks.
The ENET vRouter combines Ethernity’s comprehensive embedded vRouter software with its ACE-NIC100 FPGA SmartNIC and cost-efficient COTS servers to deliver a carrier-grade switch/router appliance, thereby utilizing existing investment in data center hardware. By simply plugging Ethernity’s solution into COTS servers, operators and network administrators can avoid heavy investment in purchasing rigid proprietary router equipment and gain an all-programmable switch/router platform.
