New SILVX Offering from Sycamore Networks to Enhance Service Management in Metro and Regional Networks

Posted on March 25, 2008 Written by oss

Simplified Provisioning, Reduced Costs, and Improved Partitioning Views for Ease of Multi-Layer Service Management is offered by the SilvxManager® for Windows and Layered Services Management Tools

Announcing the SilvxManager for Windows and Layered Services Management features, Sycamore Networks, Inc. today explained that the new product would augment its recently introduced SN 9000 Intelligent Multi-service Switch. The new offering was designed to assist network operators reduce costs and complexity, enhance the management of diverse services, and improve overall operational efficiencies in metro and regional multi-service networks.

Both SilvxManager for Windows and Layered Services Management leverage Sycamore’s embedded ASON/GMPLS control plane intelligence and distributed network awareness for automated end-to-end service provisioning and enhanced performance management.


SilvxManager for Windows

A Windows-based platform for Sycamore’s carrier-class SILVX® network and performance management system, This new product delivers cost-effective service management for multi-service metro and regional networks, while maintaining the full suite of SILVX management features proven in Tier 1 networks around the world. With the introduction of this new offering, Sycamore now provides customers with flexible system support for UNIX or Windows environments. SilvxManager for Windows, which includes enhanced security features and a simple to use graphical user interface, interoperates seamlessly with other UNIX-based SILVX networks and existing OSS systems.

Layered Services Management

Sycamore’s Layered Services Management is a unique set of SILVX-based operational tools specifically designed to address the challenges of managing the increasingly diverse and complex mix of circuit and packet services in metro and regional networks. Empowered by intelligent multi-layer service correlation software, Layered Services Management tools allow network operators to mask the complexity of the infrastructure and simplify service views, resulting in improved service management and increased operational efficiencies. Multi-layer services include Ethernet and optical, as well as low-order and high-order services. With the ability to translate complex data into proactive and usable information – independent of topology – Layered Services Management provides logical service partitioning and multi-layer resource management within a single, easy-to-use platform.

“These new offerings reflect Sycamore’s continued focus on delivering carrier-class solutions that help our customers simplify the provisioning and management of services, while optimizing networks for scalability, reliability, and circuit-to-packet convergence,” said Jim Mooney, vice president of product management and marketing. “The complexity of service management is particularly acute in metro and regional networks, environments where the SilvxManager for Windows and Layered Services Management can offer operators compelling benefits as their networks evolve to support a diverse mix of traffic.”

Together, SilvxManager for Windows and Layered Services Management increase operational efficiencies and simplify service management with advanced capabilities that include:

*** Flexible, partitioned views of pertinent multi-layer service information;

*** Proactive alarming through intelligent correlation of network and service layer information;

*** Simplified troubleshooting to aid in identifying, diagnosing, and prioritizing performance issues; and

*** Improved visibility and control to maximize end-to-end capacity and resource utilization.

Designed to meet the diverse and rapidly evolving service needs in metro and regional applications, the SN 9000 Intelligent Multi-service Switch is a versatile, carrier-grade platform that introduces industry-first bandwidth capacity licensing features and sets a higher competitive bar for seamless scalability, operational simplicity, and service resiliency. Leveraging common networking (BroadLeaf®) and management (SILVX®) intelligence shared by all Sycamore optical switches, the SN 9000 solution – now enhanced with these two new offerings – brings a new level of flexibility and efficiency to end-to-end, multi-layer service management.

Availability

Layered Services Management is immediately available for the SN 9000. SilvxManager for Windows will be generally available in April 2008.
