Presented in The Hague as part of the SDN NFV World Congress, the award highlights challenges the ICT industry face, ensuring sustainability despite bandwidth growth whilst recognising low power consumption of ADVA Optical Networking’s WDM technology.

Klaus Grobe, director for global sustainability at ADVA Optical Networking, said: “Energy efficiency is at the heart of everything we do. It’s what drives us to continually build technology that does more for less.

‘Doing more for less’

“With our FSP 3000, we’re helping our customers to dramatically reduce emissions and leading the industry to a sustainable future.

“When we look at the impact that telecommunications has on the environment, power consumption is by far the biggest factor. Our innovation is helping to limit emissions and compensate for huge increases in data demand.”

Due to improvements in several key areas, including advances in cooling methods, innovation in DC/DC voltage supply and optimisation between modularity and monolithic integration, the platform is now approaching efficiency of 0.2W/Gbit/s.

‘Limiting future energy consumption’

Stephan Rettenberger senior vice-president for marketing and investor relations at ADVA Optical Networking, added: “We take sustainability extremely seriously. We’re all proud of what we’ve achieved with our FSP 3000. We’re now reaching levels of efficiency that not long ago were unimaginable.

“Fueled by the surge in mobility and mass migration to the cloud, global ICT emissions are rising steeply. Companies across the industry now recognise how urgently they need to limit future energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.”

The high-performance software hosting platform for virtual network functions (VNFs) was recognised at the winners’ ceremony in Dubai for its “openness and simplicity”.

By employing the Ensemble Connector, communication service providers (CSPs) are able to avoid vendor lock-in and deploy best-in-class software for VNFs.

The solution provides operational simplicity and streamlines deployment.

Prayson Pate, CTO, Ensemble Division at ADVA Optical Networking, said: “We’re delighted that our Ensemble Connector won the Telecoms World Award for vendor innovation. This accolade validates the hard work of everyone in our virtualisation team. It confirms that our NFV strategy of delivering flexibility, efficiency and agility to CSPs is resonating with the industry.

“What makes us stand out is that we offer CSPs the opportunity to leverage virtualisation, automation and orchestration as tools to create, activate and assure dynamic new services. As we continue to innovate with cloud-native networking solutions, it’s exciting to see that a panel of independent analysts recognises the powerful network transformation that comes with deploying our NFV technology.”

Ensemble Connector enables CSPs to use VNFs from a variety of suppliers and thereby offers CSPs unrivalled choice – choice of hardware, software and deployment location.

Stephan Rettenberger, SVP, marketing and investor relations, ADVA Optical Networking, added: “I’m very proud that our Ensemble Connector is continuing to win so much industry acclaim. The demand to move from hardware-based services to software-based, cloud-native solutions is growing by the day and is only going to accelerate.

“Ensemble Connector is an important enabling technology for CSPs to provide their customers with a simple, rapid installation experience and enables them to securely deploy multiple software-based services on a single uCPE installation. With operators like Verizon, Masergy and DartPoints already utilising our Ensemble products to provide agile, cost-efficient services, we’re showing the world that our technology delivers the promise of NFV today.”

CSPs can also unleash new service innovation instantly, explore experimental service offerings and create try-before-you-buy programs for new dynamic services.
