Ethernity Completed Successful Proof-of-Concept of ACE-NIC integration in Customer Environments

Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a technology solutions provider that develops network data processing technology used in high-end carrier Ethernet applications across the telecom, mobile, security and data centre markets, announces that it has successfully completed proof-of-concept ("POC") of integration in several customer environments with its All-Programmable Intelligent NIC. It performed offloading for both Virtual Network Functions ("VNF"s) and overlay infrastructure, all on a single low-cost FPGA device with Ethernity's patented flow processing engine.

The customers successfully tested Ethernity's solutions to meet their requirements for applications such as a virtual switch, tunnel offloading, monitoring and billing, and special telecom features including hierarchical flow scheduling, shaping and policing.

David Levi, CEO commented: "During the POCs, the Company successfully completed the offloading of different VNFs, demonstrating the successful integration of Ethernity's ACE-NIC in helping customers to meet both scalability and mass VNF development requirements.

"The successful POC is a critical milestone for Ethernity, in highlighting the wide range of the Company's product offerings and demonstrates the recognition from customers for the growing need for Ethernity's ACE-NIC solution. It proved that Ethernity can significantly reduce the costs and power consumption of cloud and virtualised platforms for service providers."
