InfoVista Demonstrates Carrier Ethernet Domain Leadership at MEF's GEN15
InfoVista,
the leading provider of network performance orchestration solutions for
a better connected and collaborative world, is pleased to announce it
will demonstrate a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) proof-of-concept (PoC),
alongside Oracle and Juniper Networks, and participate in two panels at
MEF's (News - Alert) GEN15 event, taking place November 16-19, 2015 in Dallas, TX.
For the second consecutive year, InfoVista's PoC will display real-time,
zero-touch NaaS with dynamically synchronized service visualization,
including on-demand, service level agreement (SLA) monitoring and
self-service dashboards. The PoC has evolved to show how communications
service providers (CSPs) can create, assure and orchestrate a NaaS-based
Carrier Ethernet service with vCPEs and dynamically-scaled vPEs, all
across a performance-assured, multi-operator network.
As a finalist in the MEF
Excellence Awards, the Oracle (News - Alert)-InfoVista-Juniper solution embodies
the MEF's Third
Network Vision of a new, dynamic service environment. The PoC
demonstrates how CSPs can finally reap the cost-savings and customer
quality of service (QoS) benefits of self-service and
performance-assured services.

"The MEF and its Third Network Vision truly embody 'what's next' in
dynamic, network services," said Cyril Doussau, senior director,
global product marketing, InfoVista (News - Alert). "We are thrilled to be recognized
for the efforts we've undertaken to make the organization's NaaS
vision a reality, as CSPs get closer and closer to transitioning from
legacy networks to aligning Carrier Ethernet with value-added,
NFV-based network services. With solution ecosystems aligned with the
principals of LSO, CSPs will be able to accelerate time to revenue and
achieve strong competitive differentiation."

"The industry has reached a turning point, shifting from static to
dynamic connectivity services. This has laid the foundation of our
Third Network vision. We are pleased to see industry leaders such as
InfoVista, Oracle and Juniper demonstrating the power of agile,
assured and orchestrated Carrier Ethernet services by supporting the
Third Network vision through a continuously-evolving PoC," said Kevin
Vachon, chief operating officer, MEF. "This PoC embodies how our
industry eco-system works together to deliver alue, especially the
collaborative synergy between organizations like the TM Forum (News - Alert) and
MEF. The business benefits that are possible through the alignment of
Carrier Ethernet, SDN, NFV and LSO technology are huge and GEN15
visitors will be able to visualize this through the companies'
showcase."

"Accelerating the transition to dynamic connectivity services is a key
goal for The TM Forum and MEF and we've worked together on many topics
to achieve this, including information modeling, APIs, business
canvases, process flows and KPIs. In this industry-leading PoC,
Oracle, InfoVista and Juniper truly showcase a method for enabling
assured and orchestrated Carrier Ethernet services across numerous
operators and hybrid networks with SDN/NFV enabled infrastructure.
They do so by tapping the TM Forum's industry best practices and ZOOM
project, as well as the MEF's Third Network vision and LSO
architecture," says Ken Dilbeck, VP collaboration program at TM Forum.
"From TM Forum Live! 2015 to GEN15, this PoC continues to be a source
of innovation and new concepts. At GEN15, the PoC further aligns with
OpenStack, SDN, NFV, analytics and self-adapting network
infrastructure. Going forward, we predict the PoC will give way to
mature NaaS service profiles in support of Digital Services, 5G and
IoT use cases."
