Next generation network appliance consisting of software virtual network functions running on a standard operating system hosted on an open server. Universal CPE (uCPE) is one of the most compelling use cases of Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Virtualization is the process of creating a software-based, or virtual, representation of something, such as virtual applications, servers, storage and networks. The Industrial Network Appliances can provide an open universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) solution that offers realtime software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) services that support both x86 and ARM architectures with any additional virtual network functions (VNF) services.
