Service providers and enterprises are faced with an increasingly complex networking environment. The continued surge in bandwidth demand combined with growing expectations to access data-intensive applications wherever you are and with the lowest latency possible is rapidly changing our global networks. To ensure continued profitability, it’s vital that networks are built on a scalable optical foundation that can grow with changing business demands. ThFSP 3000 is designed for this purpose.
Ethernet is widely applied as carrier-class access technology. With the addition of IP and tunneling capabilities to packet edge devices, a variety of new business services can be offered. The FSP 150 Carrier Ethernet and IP transport solution enables you to deliver MEF-certified Carrier Ethernet services and IP connectivity with carrier-class performance, scalability and resiliency. Whether you’re offering mobile backhaul, business services or open access, the FSP 150 family is the market’s first ubiquitous access platform that enables profitable and differentiated Ethernet and IP services. Designed for demarcation, aggregation and hosting of software appliances, the solution is optimised for cost-efficient transport over fibre, copper and TDM networks.
1) Carrier Ethernet demarcation
Carrier Ethernet demarcation establishes a clear boundary between service provider and customer networks, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity. It enables efficient service delivery, performance monitoring, and fault isolation. For end users, this means consistent, high-quality service and simplified network management.
2) Programmable demarcation
Programmable demarcation offers flexibility and customisation in network services. By leveraging software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities, it allows for dynamic service provisioning and real-time adjustments. End users benefit from enhanced agility, optimised performance, and the ability to quickly adapt to changing network demands.
3) Edge aggregation & edge computing
Edge aggregation and edge computing bring processing power closer to the data source, reducing latency and improving efficiency. This solution aggregates multiple network connections and processes data at the edge, ensuring faster response times and better resource utilisation. End users experience improved performance and more responsive applications.
ADVA (now apart of Adtran) are leading the virtualisation transformation with the ‘Ensemble solution’.
Ensemble provides best of breed products and tools for networking, operations and choice, all designed to power the telco cloud transformation. The Ensemble product suite provides an open and pure-play network functions virtualisation (NFV) platform that brings virtualised services to life.
The award-winning Ensemble Connector is a highly scalable, high-performance virtualisation platform for hosting multi-vendor VNFs. It enables pure-play virtualisation: open software running on open commercial off-the-shelf servers. This eliminates vendor lock-in so that service providers are free to mix and match best-of-breed software and hardware. Pure-play virtualisation means total choice – choice of software, hardware and where to locate functionality to best suit the business needs of the provider.
The Ensemble Director is a management platform for the creation and deployment of virtualised services. It gives operators visibility into, and control of, their virtualised resources. It also provides fault, configuration, performance and security management capabilities, and interfaces with existing OSS/BSS systems leveraging standard interfaces. What’s more, the Ensemble Director provides SDN control of virtual networking. It’s the missing piece to operationalise and manage NFV at scale.
The award-winning Ensemble Orchestrator is created to help communication service providers design and deploy virtualised services in their networks. Ensemble Orchestrator provides flexible VNF and network service on-boarding along with policy-driven automation for quick and reliable service creation, activation and assurance. And the cherry on top: Ensemble Orchestrator works and is affordable.
