Overview
The explosive global demand for data services is driving massive investment in network capacity and interworking, as service providers introduce 4G technology, cloud-based infrastructure, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to better scale and manage their assets and services. These dynamics are fueling a transformation from TDM-based bandwidth services to Carrier Ethernet and Layer 3 IP services like IP-VPN, MPLS connectivity, etc.
The underlying complexity of network services is evidenced in many operational processes with the business impact being felt in lengthy circuit turn-up time, inventory inaccuracy, challenges in accurately resolving faults, and the inability to accurately assure performance for high value applications such as video and VoLTE.
End-to-end Management and Orchestration
Cortx Service Orchestrator is the industry’s only software solution that automates lifecycle management of advanced data services across today’s data networks, including next-generation SDN and NFV infrastructures. Our next-generation Service Orchestration brings the power of big data analytics, automation, and leading-edge web technologies to visualize transport services end-to-end, and to orchestrate service delivery across multiple operator networks.
Cortx Service Orchestrator is fully aligned with the Lifecycle Service Orchestration Vision, espoused by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). With CENX Cortx Service Orchestrator, mobile, wireline, and cloud service providers can accelerate time to revenue, reduce operational costs, and deliver quality connectivity services with inter-carrier performance assurance.
