Verizon has selected Ensemble Connector to power its Virtual Network Services (VNS) uCPE solution. Ensemble Connector will serve as the network functions virtualization infrastructure on commercial off-the-shelf white box servers. This will enable zero touch provisioning to simplify supply chain logistics by allowing Verizon to ship unconfigured servers directly to customers. Ensemble Connector also simplifies operations by providing access to a large collection of virtual network functions that can be combined on a single uCPE device to lower the total cost of ownership.
