Everyone knows that the broader and deeper a knowledgebase is, the
easier and faster it is to solve issues relating to that knowledge.
Sharing this knowledge base becomes an invaluable
tool when solving complex issues, like OSS and network
management. When individuals, or groups of individuals, share their
collective knowledge to solve a problem, we call it
collaboration, or the socialization of knowledge.
We also know that some information (knowledge) requires a layer of
protection due to the...Read More »
Much is in the news lately concerning advances in
Carrier Ethernet technology. Network infrastructure build-out
is continuing at a rapid pace on every continent, with some of the
biggest growth taking place in the
Middle East and Africa. In addition, domestic U.S.
service provider infrastructure continues to grow as the
insatiable consumer demand for more services such as video, apps
and on-demand media content (at ever faster speeds) seems to know
no bounds. For example,

"Collaboration" is a big buzz-word these days
- but what exactly does it mean? Along with the word "cloud," this
is probably one of the most talked-about - but least understood -
concepts in the tech world today. Network management
personnel in both the Enterprise
and Service
Provider spaces are all wanting to get a piece of the
efficiency, problem-solving ability and cost savings that
collaboration provides. At the same time, there are vendors out
there making promises and claims that are...Read More »
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,...Read More »

As the pace of
unified communications accelerates, the future is looking
better and better - both for the Service
Providers and Large Carriers who are deploying
LTE networks and the vendors who help them manage change.
For vendors of equipment and software to these Service Providers (such as Dorado Software :) the future has also never looked brighter. For example, headlines such, "Worldwide revenue for Carrier Ethernet switches and IP routers surges" and "At Last: Ethernet Backhaul Booms for... Read More »

New Redcell "Synergy" Version 7: The Powerful New Tool To
Manage Your Network Infrastructure
One of the amazing things about working in the field of network management software is the constant state of change. We're not talking about "gee, it's raining today so I better wear a jacket" type of change. We're talking break-neck, full-throttle adaptation to changes in carrier ethernet, mobile backhaul and Long Term Evolution (LTE) for service provider environments.
So it's no surprise that our...Read More »

Today we're going to be talking Redcell.
While comparisons are nice (and we ALWAYS encourage people who are
considering network infrastructure management software to do
comparisons!) it's also good to just straight-up answer the
question: "Why should I consider buying this
product??"

Question: Can you
find the Bandwidth Hog in Your
Network?
OK, I admit it. For the folks who operate networks, it can be a headache to manage bandwidth. For the rest of us, bandwidth represents something awesome - amazing - the pinnacle of human network achievement. Like the power of millions of people to collectively getting to see hundreds of people getting their balls whacked on YouTube.
Yet regardless, for all its splendor, there is also an undeniable truth to managing modern networks which...Read More »

There's a new/old movement in the air: that
of the Venerable Art of the
Urban Ninja. While watching one of these maestros of movement
on YouTube referred to me thru Facebook (yes, they really do pay
people for that) I was struck by the similarities between Redcell
and what these guys do. Witness the Urban Ninja contemplating his
environment. Does this remind you of a network administrator
contemplating change?

Knowledge is power -- and knowledge about network
configuration change is the power to control your network and
ensure uninterrupted service
to your users. This means the ability to control changes across
your distributed network, knowing when changes occur, by able to
react quickly, effectively and automatically to unauthorized and/or
out-of-compliance changes.

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.

The
world is full of marketing talk. Any company can say they are a
“leader”, “largest” or “most comprehensive”.Marketing messages and logos pop up everywhere. IBM recreated their logo on an atomic scale and Rolling Rock generated buzz by suggesting they were going to imprint their logo on the moon. I stepped out of my car the other day to see advertisements on the paint stripes in the parking lot. Seriously, everywhere.
But the real marketing rubber hits the reality road in two words: Customer...Read More »
GOAL:
Manage LTE to Delivery High Quality Mobile Broadband at the
Lowest Cost
Read More »
Long Term Evolution (LTE) provides the bandwidth necessary to
deliver advanced and compelling services. It will no longer be good
enough to maintain the quality of the network. Service providers
must differentiate themselves by monitoring the user experience or
quality of experience. Mobile providers face a number of challenges
with technologies and standards at and beyond 3GPP / LTE. From new,
emerging technology to...
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...

managing a far-reaching network is the potential for undiscovered
devices and assets. Not only are undiscovered devices a potential
liability in terms of updates, network drain and unmonitored
activity, they also pose lost revenue potentials. IT audit software
and IT inventory software is a high-priority when discovering
devices complex, multi-vendor environemnts.
