InfoVista launched a new version of its flagship network performance management solution, VistaInsight for Networks.
This release supports the growing adoption of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and the Metro Ethernet Forum’s (MEF) newest network performance monitoring and management best practices.
MEF 36, which comprises a new Carrier Ethernet management information base (MIB), supports communications service providers’ (CSPs) service operations, administration and management (SOAM) performance monitoring, as outlined in MEF 35. The combination of MEF 35 and 36 enables CSPs to implement performance management best practices for Carrier Ethernet 2.0, which focuses on the three tenets of multi-CoS, interconnectedness and manageability.
VistaInsight for Networks 5.2 addresses the newest MEF requirements to help CSPs support multi-vendor Carrier Ethernet services, and delivers the performance visibility and sophisticated reporting that business and wholesale customers are demanding.
With the new version, CSPs can capture service and resource health and usage monitoring, and rely on early warnings and predictive alerts for pre-defined thresholds of service level and network performance degradations.
CSPs also stand to further improve customer acquisition and retention by empowering end users with self-service network performance management capabilities built into their customer and service level agreement (SLA) reporting.
VistaInsight for Networks enables CSPs and shared IT organizations to effectively meet and exceed performance expectations and service-level guarantees of next-generation networks and IT services. The actionable service performance visibility of the solution provides CSPs with the ability to rapidly support revenue-generating services by enabling a new level of control over the planning, deployment and operational phases of their next-generation IP networks.
VistaInsight for Networks 5.2 incorporates Layer 3 services, automated VPN discovery and geographical virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) data to better align customers and services with their network equipment devices. The new version of InfoVista’s unified service performance assurance platform also enables increased microwave support for Huawei’s RTN devices and hybrid packet optical platform.
