Dell EMC pushes open networking to the edge with VEP family

Dell EMC is taking open networking to the edge for next-generation access with the introduction of a new family of products, referred to as the VEP family. The VEP family includes the EMC VEP4600 along with three validated solutions that use the EMC VEP4600. The purpose of the VEP family is to accelerate digital transformation by connecting the enterprise edge to the cloud via universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE). Dell’s VEP4600 serves as a x86-based, uCPE, providing a platform for supporting multiple virtual network functions (VNFs) simultaneously. This allows different, physical devices to be consolidated into a single uCPE, while maintaining the performance levels needed to host several VNFs.
