This solution brief examines why it is so critical to identify all of the SRLGs in the service path that could cause a shared-group failure, and the level of risk involved, and runs through a case study of exactly how NetFusion is supporting tier-1 operators to manage SRLG identification and risk.
Service providers spend billions to assure network availability and avoid service outages. The typical result of that spend is overprovisioning of the network. Common wisdom says that while overprovisioning is expensive, it’s necessary – just to be on the safe side. Even so, network availability often comes up short, as evidenced by numerous customer outages…
This white paper examines how the control hierarchy for SDN networks is converging toward a three-tier structure, with a service orchestrator, a network controller, and multiple domain controllers. The benefits are plenty, including faster innovation, a stable ecosystem of collaborating parties, and flexibility to replace building blocks with minimal effort and without vendor lock-in.
5G was conceived to improve multiple facets of network performance – higher bandwidth for sure, but also lower latency and high resiliency. In effect, 5G brings to the consumer domain service levels that were so far reserved for business. The Covid-19 pandemic, which is keeping many people at home, is accelerating this trend. Consumers are…
Communication service providers (CSP) have all kinds of customers. Some of them, especially large enterprise and business customers, require premium connectivity services with guaranteed delivery, and they are willing to pay for it. Typically, premium enterprise services include high capacity, low latency, and full geographic diversity guarantees. A few examples are financial services connectivity, connectivity…
5G is not a single technology, in fact it is an ensemble of technologies which together herald a transformation for operators and their customers. Exactly how and when these technologies will be deployed is not always clear, however, discussions with our customers have revealed several key assertions that most agree with: Latency expectations underwrite the…
As standards for Software Defined Networking (SDN) solidify, the telco industry is converging around a common architecture for SDN implementation in service provider networks. While SDN-based networks have been a long time in the making, SDN rollout is now accelerating globally across multiple service providers, with the majority aligning around a three-tier SDN control hierarchy:…
Dramatically simplify network operations and create tangible business value
Sedona NetFusion enables CSPs to embrace digital transformation and prosper from 4G and 5G digital services by moving from process-driven, manual networks to data-driven, fully autonomous networks.
The Promise of 5G 5G technology is being promoted mostly on the basis of dramatic increases in network speed and reliability. This will be accomplished to a great degree by moving intelligence and computing to the edge of the network. Through edge computing, 5G promises to eliminate the latency created by the centralized mobile core…
