The whitepaper is aimed at senior decision-makers within a CSP. It looks at how Sedona NetFusion can automate the management of IP/Optical transport networks delivering quantitative benefits for all operators, be they mobile, fixed broadband or enterprise-focused. Based on a taper of benefits in the first six months, we estimate an accumulated benefit of $113 million over a three-year ROI period
A network engineer just finished adding a card into a network switch. This is the last site visit of the day. Time to go home. He makes a mental note to update the inventory database the next day when he’s back in the office. But tomorrow comes and goes and the inventory update slips his…
Sedona Systems and DataStax Joint Solution delivers real-time inventory accuracy to CSP provisioning, operations & engineering. In the sprawling networks built by Communications Service Providers (CSP), there is a troublesome disconnect between the network as it functions, and the network as it is designed and documented in inventory databases.
We announced today the addition of NetFusion to the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program (Press Release here). I’m very excited about the partnership with Cisco since I believe it will allow us to influence and enhance a key future integrated IP and optical architecture that Cisco just announced, called Routed Optical Networking (RON). Our focus around integrating…
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 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.
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…
