What Ekinops SD-WAN is
Ekinops SD-WAN gives service providers options to extend traditional customer-premises routing with advanced connectivity or a full SD-WAN solution. SD-WAN Xpress is a one-box option for SMEs and small sites of larger enterprises, designed for deployment through a licence upgrade on OneOS6-enabled hardware. Smart Connect targets SMBs and widely distributed enterprises with small offices, including retailers with many sales locations. It manages multiple uplinks in active/active or active/passive modes, with traffic failover in less than 3 seconds, and can direct traffic to a Secure Service Edge solution for protection. Smart Connect is included in OneOS6 and runs on Ekinops pCPE and uCPE routers or the ONEvRouter VNF for white-box hardware. SD-WAN Director manages deployments through GUI and API across three tiers, each with a dedicated interface. It supports multi-tenancy, role-based access and a customer portal for visibility, monitoring and configuration, plus a REST API for OSS/BSS integration. Ekinops also offers a starter kit with routers, temporary private-cloud access, a virtual controller, multi-tenant Director and help from an SD-WAN system architect. Pricing is available on request.
