SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Calsoft Labs, a pioneer in NFV and SDN solutions, today announced the availability of high performance Virtual CPE and Virtual B-RAS solutions along with its CloudNOC orchestration framework based on OpenStack. A subsidiary of the €1.2 billion ALTEN Group, Calsoft Labs offers virtual network function (VNF) development and optimization; systems integration, deployment and operations support services to Telecom operators.

Telecom operators are increasingly turning to network function virtualization (NFV) to consolidate workloads, improve network utilization, scale infrastructure as they grow, and accelerate the deployment of new revenue generating services. NFV allows service providers to reduce CapEx and OpEx by migrating functions traditionally implemented in dedicated hardware, to open standards-based platforms based on Intel architecture.

Calsoft Labs works with an ecosystem of leading technology and platform providers such as 6WIND, Intel and Red Hat to offer a suite of high-performance VNFs, OpenStack based NFV orchestration framework and professional services for NFV systems integration, service roll-out management and operations support.

Calsoft Labs' Virtual CPE and Virtual B-RAS solutions are powered by 6WIND's portfolio of 6WINDGate packet processing software for data plane performance and designed to leverage Intel DPDK libraries (http://dpdk.org) to deliver industry leading performance and scalability on the latest multi-core Intel processors.
