We’re stoked to announce that Athena Networks is now the first official Australian partner for NFWare vCGNAT – and honestly, it’s about time someone brought a serious CGNAT solution into the local market.
If you’ve been wrestling with clunky, expensive, or underperforming CGNAT options, you’ll want to keep reading.
Why vCGNAT?
Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) is one of those necessary evils in modern networks – especially when you’re dealing with IPv4 exhaustion. But not all CGNAT solutions are created equal. Many are bloated, overly complex, or can’t handle real-world traffic loads without throwing a tantrum.
NFWare’s vCGNAT flips that on its head. It’s a high-performance, software-based solution designed to run on standard x86 servers. We’re talking:
- Scalability up to tens of millions of connections
- Cost-efficiency without compromising on performance
- Complete NAT logging – Critical for Australian metadata compliance laws!
- Fast deployment with minimal hardware requirements
It’s also been battle-tested in some of the largest telco networks in Europe and the US – and now we’re bringing that same firepower to Aussie networks.
Why We Chose NFWare
At Athena Networks, we don’t just throw our name behind any vendor. We tested a lot of CGNAT solutions over the years, and NFWare was the only one that ticked all the boxes. From seamless integration with existing infrastructure to impressive throughput and reliability under load, this one just works.
No fiddling. No firmware drama. Just fast, reliable CGNAT the way it should be.
Did I mention the best part? The CLI is an engineers dream to work with.
What This Means for You
Whether you’re a regional ISP looking to scale, a data centre operator dealing with IPv4 crunch, or just someone who’s tired of underwhelming CGNAT boxes – we can help.
As the first Australian partner, Athena Networks can offer local support, deployment assistance, and tailored licensing options for NFWare vCGNAT. We’ll even help you with testing and proof-of-concept setups, so you can see the benefits for yourself.
