A tier 1 European operator has chosed VPIsystems for their network optimization program. VPIsystems provides end-to-end network analytics for network capacity planning, network optimization and subscriber QoS offering a consolidated view of network profitability, business metrics and how/where demand impacts an operator’s network. VPIsystems incorporates the accurate translation of subscriber, device and application growth into network impact analysis and traffic management systems, enabling mobile service providers to make real-time business decisions relating to the massive bandwidth requirements in backhaul and core networks.

VPIsystems differentiates itself from other vendor planning tools in the following ways:

— VPIsystems is Vendor Agnostic and Technology Agnostic. VPIsystems can model both more than one vendor for IP and Transmission.

— VPIsystems also models brownfield networks as well as greenfield networks. It also provides scenario analysis and modeling of decommissioning of older network elements.

— VPIsystems’ OnePlan is an end to end flow through planning solution. It covers the impacts of Transport failures on IP Networks. Along with support for SRLG (Shared Risk Link Group) failure analysis, OnePlan supports both Route View and Impact (Traffic) View capabilities.

— VPIsystems’ Impact (Traffic) View provides a listing of all higher-layer services (i.e., demands, traffic, etc.) carried by a selected lower layer facility (e.g., Fiber). It allows planners to see all higher layer services/demands that would be impacted by a failure of that facility.

Some of the large vendors that have OEMed VPIsystems products include Huawei and Alcatel Lucent.
