Sanctum & Calsoft Join Hands to roll out SDN solution for Content Delivery Networks

Calsoft Labs to offer professional services to support deployment of Sanctum Networks’ unique Distributed SDN Controller to transform Peer-to-Peer Content Routing in CDN and Service Provider Networks

  Sanctum Networks, a leader in Software Defined Networking product solutions and Calsoft Labs, a pioneer in NFV and SDN professional services, today announced a global partnership for the solution design and deployment of Sanctum Networks flagship SDN product “Jupiter”.  With Jupiter, Service providers will have the opportunity to transform the way they deliver peer-to-peer content routing while vastly improving network efficiency and enhancing QoE. This strategic partnership will see Calsoft Labs offer technology consulting and systems integration services to help equipment vendors and service providers integrate and deploy Sanctum Networks’ unique distributed SDN controller solution. 

Internet video is set to increase to about 80-90% of all consumer traffic flowing through the Internet by 2018, with CDNs carrying over 50% of the global Internet traffic and 67% of all Internet video by 2018. As service providers grow their CDN infrastructure, they are looking for scalable solutions that help eliminate traffic congestion to a top of rack switch and provide an efficient method for service insertion in the flow path. “We believe SDN provides that solution and we are delighted to announce the launch of our OpenFlow based Services Provision Gateway, designed to enable Services Providers to benefit from reduced latency and improved network efficiency which we believe will be of specific benefit to CDN providers”, said Ms. Nazneen Shaikh, Founder and Director at Sanctum Networks.

“We are delighted to be announcing this global partnership with Calsoft Labs. Their proven expertise in SDN and NFV and large pool of trained resources ensures that equipment vendors and network operators looking to evaluate and deploy Sanctum’s distributed virtual SDN controller solution can have the reassurance and confidence of global support and design expertise”, Shaikh added.
