Proactively Eliminate Potential Transport Network Problems
Automate the Detection, Test/Triage, and Remediation of Problems
netFLEX® Performance Monitoring and Management
The ultimate objective of assurance automation is to leverage ‘realtime’ discovered inventory, ‘actionable’ data/analytics, and control automation – all from the ‘live’ network. These critical functions are required for feedback-loop programmability to auto-detect, auto-predict, auto-test/triage, and auto-restore issues on the network. With these three functions (discover, analyze, control) required for control-loop-actionability, most solutions today lack one or two of these. Likewise, gaps exist today where test-automation does not cover the vastness of multi-vendor, multi-generation, and multi-technology as deployed in large operator networks. netFLEX Analytics and Assurance Automation reflects a family of capabilities that addresses all of these.
- Performance Quality Validation for Proactive and Predictive Management
- SLA Management
- Proactive Optical Wavelength Restoration
