Virtual Host Network Accelerator (vHNA)
The 6WIND vHNA solution delivers high performance, scalability and security to Communications Service Providers and is optimized for Telco CNFs in Kubernetes.
The 6WIND Virtual Host Network Accelerator (vHNA) is designed to facilitate the cloud-native transformation of service providers’ networks. It provides routing capabilities at the host level of Kubernetes nodes, enhancing network security through finer-grained access controls and network segment isolation.
This is essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Virtual Host Network Accelerator
The 6WIND vHNA addresses the unique requirements of Telco workload Cloud-Native Functions (CNFs) that Kubernetes cannot natively support.
Complete integration into Kubernetes workflow
Enhanced routing capabilities
IP/MPLS/SR support
VLAN/VxLAN support
High Performance
Key Benefits of 6WIND’s vHNA:
Kubernetes Integration: Seamlessly deploy and manage vHNA within Kubernetes clusters, enhancing your network’s agility and efficiency.
Accelerated Data Plane: Our proprietary accelerated data plane technology ensures unmatched performance, delivering high throughput and low latency essential for Telco applications.
Telco-Grade Performance: Achieve high throughput and low latency, ensuring superior performance for demanding Telco workloads.
Scalability: Effortlessly scale your network to meet increasing demands, leveraging Kubernetes for automated scaling and management.
Enhanced Security: Protect your network with advanced security features, including network isolation via VRF support, firewall capabilities, and robust access controls (ACL).
Comprehensive Management: Utilize intuitive management tools and APIs to simplify operations and automate network functions
Kubernetes-based Cloud Platforms
The 6WIND vHNA seamlessly integrates with Kubernetes-based cloud platforms and is natively managed by Kubernetes. This transparent integration allows K8S clusters and their nodes to be created with the desired connectivity and dynamically managed without requiring any network modifications.
As a result, Kubernetes Pods are directly routed to the fabric, reducing host network address translations and lowering processing overhead.
