Service
Providers are constantly looking for ways to speed
delivery to market without compromising quality.
Automation is the only way to effectively accomplish this task.
Manual solutions and CLI are labor intensive and error prone which
results in lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction.
A single system to
automate repeatable processes not only makes the fulfillment
process significantly quicker but also
eliminates costly
errors. But it can't stop there. Once services are
deployed,...

"Software as a Service." "Cloud computing."
"Virtualization." By now we're probably all-too
familiar with the terms of the day. But with regards to
converging IT technologies - routers, switches, media gateways,
media servers, etc - as we ride this technology wave we can
sometimes we can miss the forest for the trees. The reality is,
technological miracles are happening every hour of every day.
Tonight, we'll see the latest entry:

Watson Supercomputer will take on Jeopardy champions...

Knowledge is power -- and knowledge about network
configuration change is the power to control your network and

How nice would it be to have
1 common interface...
A single GUI, not a bunch of different tools... for
everything?
One aspect of network management:
Inventory/deep discovery. This is something that on the surface
sounds simple, but really is the foundation for everything else
that takes place in your network. For example, "How are my devices
configured?" or "How are my services provisioned?" You can't begin
to fix a system or process that's broken without knowing first what
you have.
Discovery al...

Problem! Service Providers lose millions of
dollars annually because of poor processes during the provisioning
process.
Partially integrated business and operation support systems
force operators into manual and tedious processes such as manual
CLI, validation, and data entry. We all love our excel forms, but
that data is only as good as the last person who entered
it. So manual and tedious processes result in slow, error
prone provisioning that ultimately reduce efficiencies, upset
customers...

In
a world where we're quickly embracing facebook instead of class
reunions, instant messages instead of phone calls, and streaming
videos instead of book learning a
virtual eventor tradeshow is the future of industry networking. Besides,
its just plain fun. You can connect with peers you never
would've had a chance to get infront of. There's easy,
on demand access to keynotes, technical sessions and documention
all on a social network platform. All the best features of a
physical event from...
