Next-Generation Service Assurance Software—BrixNGN


Continuously collects, correlates, analyzes and visualizes critical QoS and QoE data from the network core to the customer endpoint. With BrixNGN service providers can plan for capacity increases, verify service turn-ups and identify, diagnose and quickly resolve network and service performance issues before customers are affected (thereby guaranteeing service quality).

Scalable Software for Verifying the Quality of Next-Generation Networks

The network core is the heart of the service delivery network and where successful providers' service-assurance strategies start. To effectively guarantee end-to-end service-level agreements (SLAs) and meet customers' requirements, providers must implement a service-assurance solution throughout next-generation IP/MPLS core networks as well as IP and/or Ethernet access and wireless backhaul networks. The BrixNGN solution offers edge-to-edge as well as end-to-end visibility, without which providers are at serious risk for crippling service degradations and outages, which lead directly to escalations in customer care costs, eroding profit margins, increasing customer churn and severely damaging reputations.

The Service Lifecycle Approach

The BrixNGN software allows providers to utilize a single centralized solution for the entire service lifecycle—from service turn-up, to monitoring, to troubleshooting. This in turn enables the providers to considerably reduce their OPEX and grow revenues.

Delivering Ethernet Services with Dynamic QoS and Robust SLAs (Hosted by Light Reading)

This webinar focuses on how service providers can deliver Ethernet-based solutions with various quality of service (QoS) and class of service (CoS) guarantees and robust service-level agreements (SLAs) tailored for each customer's unique needs.

Implementing Service Assurance across Multiple Carrier Ethernet Networks

Ethernet networks are being deployed at an increasing rate, which requires interconnecting multiple networks and matching different service-level agreements (SLAs) to provide a consistent level of quality for the end user. Although managing on-net and off-net customer locations with guaranteed SLAs across multiple Carrier Ethernet networks is a huge challenge, EXFO and CENX have teamed up to create a solution that makes it simple, scalable and inexpensive.

Why Standards Matter in Service Assurance

Three trends of the service assurance industry can affect the architecture and methodology of monitoring systems: the fundamental focus shift from service quality to network quality, convergence and migration of all networks toward IP, and the focus around QoE and end-to-end visibility into service quality. This webinar discusses the role of standards in facing the resulting challenges, and strategies to capture the opportunities created by these trends.
