Managing Carrier Ethernet services enabled and assured by the company’s EtherNID™ & MetroNID™ units, the Vision EMS reduces operational effort to the absolute minimum, enabling efficient deployment of demanding, large-scale Ethernet wireless backhaul and business access offerings.
Montreal, Canada; June 23rd, 2009— Accedian Networks ™, a leading provider of Packet Performance Assurance ™ solutions for telecom, cable and wireless communications providers, introduced today the Vision EMS™, a workflow-automation and element management system that significantly reduces the cost, time and effort to deploy, manage and maintain Ethernet services. By automating standard operating procedures, the system can reduce new service provisioning time from weeks to minutes.
Managing Carrier Ethernet services enabled and assured by the company’s EtherNID™ & MetroNID™ units, the Vision EMS reduces operational effort to the absolute minimum, enabling efficient deployment of demanding, large-scale Ethernet wireless backhaul and business access offerings. The system automatically provisions new units and related services upon installation, eliminating time-consuming, error-prone on-site configuration, while integrating with existing network management and operational support systems.
Advanced fault, inventory and security applications tie in with provisioning, backup and upgrade features to further automate ongoing service management. Leveraging the advanced monitoring, troubleshooting and traffic conditioning capabilities of EtherNID & MetroNID units, the Vision EMS allows operators to maintain best-in-class Quality of Service (QoS) and meet strict Service Level Agreement (SLA) performance requirements.
The Vision EMS is built on the Nakina Domain Control and Intelligence (DCI) platform, a carrier-grade management solution deployed by Tier-1 telecom operators worldwide. Featuring a highly-scalable, open, service oriented architecture (SOA), the Nakina DCI platform interoperates with equipment from leading vendors to simplify the management of multi-vendor networks.
“Responding to the rapid growth of high-speed wireless and demanding business applications, service providers are moving from selective deployment of basic Ethernet services to large-scale performance-assured offerings,” explained Patrick Ostiguy, founding President & CEO of Accedian Networks. “The combination of scale and performance complicates service roll out, delaying new projects in the face of fierce competition. The Vision EMS, combined with our unit’s Plug & Go™ intelligence, allow providers to accelerate their time to market without compromising quality. It’s a turn-key solution to new revenue.”
