Anuta Networks, the industry’s first provider of network services
virtualization solutions, today announced significant enhancements to
its NCX, an industry-first software solution designed to deliver agile
and secure SDN benefits for large enterprises and service provider
networks, and also designed to work with the security platform of
Anuta’s technology ecosystem alliance partner Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ:
FTNT). These latest enhancements enable service providers to
introduce self-service and network automation to their customers and
reduce overall service delivery time.
Anuta Networks’ NCX solution is breaking the industry barrier to
on-board new customers without significant delay and costly expenses by
automating the service delivery for MPLS tunnel-based, service provider
backbone network. Traditionally, on-boarding new VPN customers required
multiple weeks to plan, design and implement. With the help of NCX,
on-boarding new VPN customers can be completed in a few minutes.
Additionally, NCX automates the provision and de-provision of new CEs
for existing customers.
“Service providers and large enterprises face a key challenge of service
orchestration for their multi-vendor networks. In order to solve this,
the industry has to come together and created platforms and open
frameworks that can address these problems with the right solutions. In
my 15+ years of experience in the industry, we are now moving from silo
architectures into open and flexible platforms and architectures. I am
very pleased to see that Fortinet and Anuta Networks have collaborated
to provide such a platform for KPN to evaluate. We look forward to
similar collaborative activities with vendors in the future,” said
Clements Radenborg, program manager for same day delivery at KPN
Networks.
“We’re very excited to empower service providers with a comprehensive
SDN solution that delivers self-served network services for MPLS
backbone networks,” said Chandu Guntakala, founder, president and CEO of
Anuta Networks. “Many leading service providers around the world are
selecting the proven Anuta NCX solution to introduce network services
on-demand at low cost and high assurance.”
“Anuta Networks and FjordIT are bringing innovative Network Services
offerings to the Nordic Markets. At Fujitsu Norway, our key focus in
bringing new technologies that can help customers achieve more
efficiency and reliability in managing their networks. We are looking
forward to our collaborative approach and partnership in bringing this
key technology to our enterprise customers,” said Tor Arne Rømma, Sr.
Network Architect at Fujitsu Norway.

Multi-vendor end-to-end Ethernet, MPLS L3VPN and L2VPN services
