Dorado’s Redcell V6 Service Studio Service Activation Definitions

Friday, June 18, 2010 by Alan Taylor
We consider Dorado’s Redcell V6 Service Studio a significant step forward in the ongoing effort to help service providers and network managers improve time-to-market, streamline service provisioning and realize new revenues. In this post we continue to highlight the benefits of Redcell V6 Service Studio and specifically the service activation definition aspect.

To reiterate, Redcell Service Studio offers an intuitive, feature-rich toolset to model custom network services (ones that aren’t already defined in Redcell’s expansive library) that span equipment from one or more vendors. With Redcell Service Studio, service providers can model any service type from end-to-end or in part, including FTTx, mobile backhaul, Ethernet, LTE and Multi-media. Additionally, this toolset empowers service providers to implement modifications to their network services as their business evolves over time, without incurring huge development costs or incurring prohibitive supplier lead times.

Service activation with Redcell Service Studio easily dovetails with the discovery aspect, giving the provider the ability to both discover new devices and provide services via those devices using definitions created by Service Studio. While other network management provders offer service definition and activation, 70% of the cost is typically borne through professional services. Redcell’s capabilities using Service Studio reduces that percentage significantly by providing service schemas that are easily created and modified.

The screenshot below, showing the attribute settings of the service data schema, helps make this point. This is a view of the actual service schema for the Redcell out-of-the-box VPLS Service for Juniper devices (Juniper management, Cisco management along with numerous other manufacturers are all supported via Redcell) . One area to notice are the default values, drop-downs, constraints, and minimum / maximum data type length thresholds. These options make data entry much easier and provide validation via a GUI-driven environment. Nice. Also, all of the services modeled in Service Studio are managed in the standard Redcell Service Center just like any other service. Very nice.
