Imagine a world where everyone sees only what they need or want to
see. Everyone enjoys a good view, especially one of their own
choosing. Having the "right" view can inspire creativity, make a
difficult task more pallatable, and even expedite the completion of
a task. It is also true that eliminating the clutter in any view
lets the viewer see things more clearly, and thereby bring what's
important into focus.
These are some of the capabilities Dorado Software has included in
its release of...

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,
Light Reading has...

"
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...

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,...

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??"When it comes to mission-critical infrastructure - network or
otherwise - the folks running it are necessarily and understandably
risk-averse. We wouldn't want it any other way. After all, do we
want people to...

"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...

network infrastructure management software is that we can see
our products produce real results in the real world! And one of the

Boeing.

chosen by Boeing Advanced Systems to manage a
high-speed electrical network that connects The Boeing Laboratory

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...

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.
Another challenge facing mobile providers will be the requirement
of maintaining a
hybrid environment for...

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.
Configuration compliance is also the foundation of
network security: Whether it is compliance to your internal IT
policies, service...

IT infrastructures are a collection of disparate
and converging products, yet all of these technologies must be
configured and monitored to ensure viability of
mission-critical applications and services.
Deploying, configuring and managing a variety of
complex voice and data devices from the same vendor - let alone
multiple vendors - is a daily battle that challenges even the most
experienced administrator. No matter what software solution you
decide to use for
managing complex services 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...
