Supports meeting key requirements with a single configuration

Wind River announced the launch of Wind River Titanium Edge SX, a virtualized computing platform designed to support the needs of edge computing applications for telecommunications service providers.

Titanium Edge SX is the latest addition to the Titanium Cloud portfolio, integrating control, compute and storage nodes into a single software package to address key requirements with a single, low-cost physical server.

Built on standard open source software such as Linux, OpenStack, KVM, DPDK, and Ceph, Titanium Edge SX integrates a number of enhanced features to deliver the performance, platform management, security, and virtual machine (VM) lifecycle management required by telecommunications infrastructures.

“There is growing interest from communications service providers in edge applications, such as centrally managed or managed services delivered from uCPE devices and multi-access edge computing (MEC), as a way to target new revenue streams beyond their existing customer base,” explains Michael Howard, research director and advisor at IHS Markit. “These use cases require low latency, high throughput, end-to-end connectivity with the option to run on low-cost, low-capacity servers and devices. “We need a virtualized computing platform that provides security,” he added.

“Titanium Edge SX includes all the essential features for edge computing for telecommunications operators, and the performance and integrated features of Titanium Edge SX are expected to play a significant role in reducing not only the cost per subscriber but also the overall operating cost,” said Wooyoung Choi, director of Wind River’s Korea network business.
