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...Read More »
By this time in the social media game pretty much
anybody who's anybody has a couple different profiles. You've
got your Facebook, pictures
on Flickr, or yFrog for your Twitter profile, etc... but you
probably find the most legit one to be your LinkedIn profile. This one
houses your work history, resume, and your colleague/friend
recommendations. LinkedIn does house the world's largest
professional network on the Internet with more than 100 million

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 »

Managing Next-Generation Service Provider
Networks
-- The
Problem
The advent of mobile internet access and the subsequent
explosive demand for high bandwidth services on mobile devices has
created a pivotal point for service
providers. Widely considered the most disruptive technological
event for service providers since mobile phones were first
introduced, consumer demand for mobile internet access has quickly
outstripped the capabilities of existing infrastructure. In
addition, mobile phone and...

"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: IBM's
Watson Supercomputer will take on Jeopardy champions...

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?

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.

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.

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 »

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...
