Appledore Research – Sedona NetFusion benefits analysis

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

Sedona & DataStax: Real-Time Inventory Reconciliation

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.

The Emerging Control Hierarchy for Service Provider SDN-Enabled Networks (2020)

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.

Multilayer Requirements for NBI of Optical Domain Controllers

This paper focuses on requirements for the NBI of Optical domain controllers in a multilayer architecture. The NBI of the optical domain controller has four main functions: topology discovery, monitoring, provisioning, and path computation. These requirements generally apply to both DWDM and OTN systems, with the obvious omission of feasibility limitations that only apply to the DWDM layer.
