Enea Launches World’s First OPNFV Pharos Lab for ARM-based Network Equipment


Specialized Pharos Lab Established for OPNFV Community Interoperability Testing
on Energy-Efficient ARM-Based Servers

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, November 10, 2015 – Enea® (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today
announced the world’s first Pharos Lab for OPNFV networking developers to
validate applications on workload-optimized ARM®-based servers.
The Pharos project is an OPNFV initiative towards a geographically and
technically diverse lab infrastructure, hosted by the OPNFV community members
and the Linux Foundation. The ARM architecture is expected to play a
foundational role in next-generation networks based on flexible, scalable and
highly-integrated Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). The Pharos Labs provide the community
with a head start on early ARM-based server development work and lay the
groundwork for OPNFV Brahmaputra and future related software releases.

“Supporting ARM-based hardware and the OPNFV project is central in our strategic
direction as a company”, said Daniel Forsgren, Senior Vice President Product
Management, Enea. “Opening up the world’s first ARM Pharos lab offers tremendous
value to the ecosystem as it now has a compliant environment for OPNFV testing
and validation on ARM-based equipment.”

“By pioneering the world’s first ARM-based OPNFV Pharos community lab
initiative, Enea has opened up a more diverse ecosystem for equipment providers,
operators and ISVs tasked with creating next-generation networks,” said Bob
Monkman, marketing manager, enterprise segment, ARM. “Together, Enea and the ARM
ecosystem will deliver choice and a uniquely compelling value proposition for
energy-efficient and workload–optimized infrastructure in the NFV space.”

"We are thrilled that Enea is joining the Pharos lab community and increasing
the variety of architectures available for testing in our federated testing
environment," said Heather Kirksey, Director, OPNFV. "The goal of the OPNFV
Pharos testbed project requires a collection of diverse labs and a broad range
of hardware, which helps ensure OPNFV’s applicability across architectures,
environments and vendors. Inclusion of ARM-based servers in these testing
environments helps further this goal and benefits the larger ecosystem."

The Enea Pharos lab is hosted at Enea’s headquarters in Kista, Sweden, and is
operational from mid-November.
