Syndesis Announces Support for Emerging Multi-Service Edge Market
Toronto (ots)
As the multi-service edge (MSE) market experiences significant growth, and as service providers look for the most cost effective ways to migrate revenue-generating services to these new edge networks, Syndesis is pleased to announce its provisioning, activation and discovery support for MSE platforms. The Syndesis solution is currently providing off-the-shelf support for numerous hardware devices including Nortel Networks* Multiservice Provider Edge (MPE) 9000 series platform.
Syndesis is the only vendor that provides a real-time view of the network, making it the partner of choice for equipment vendors seeking to provide pre-integrated provisioning capabilities for their hardware offerings, and Tier 1 service providers. Service providers are working to reduce costs and simplify deployments by uniting Layer 2 and Layer 3 services at the edge of the network but, in doing this, they are facing new provisioning challenges. Syndesis is helping the world's leading providers meet these challenges head on, with support for MSE that includes:
- Ensuring Deployment Success. Syndesis provides pre-integrated, off-the-shelf support for MSE devices. The Syndesis solution ensures quick time to market with known costs and easy integration into existing OSSs based on multi-vendor support and open APIs.
- Investment Protection. Syndesis supports multi-layer MSE provisioning through a single platform, which can be utilized for all aspects of a service provider's MSE solution -- from provisioning IP VPNs end-to-end, to Broadband access, to MPLS. Providers can, for example, grow and expand their utilization of the Nortel Networks MPE 9000 while, at the same time, protecting their investment in both infrastructure and OSS.
- Service Aware and Network Aware. Syndesis maps the customer to MSE service elements using a real-time database of record. This database contains an accurate record of Layer 1, 2 and 3 objects to offer an up-to-date view of the network. In addition, Syndesis software provisions all required equipment and preserves service integrity.
- Out-of-the-box Profiles. Integrated MSE Service Profiles simplify the provisioning process and ensure consistency of service. This makes it possible for upstream systems and provisioning clerks to function efficiently without knowing the intricate details of how each service is provisioned.
"Syndesis can fully provision multiple layers and devices with one unified platform," said Mark Nicholson, CTO and Vice President of Product Development for Syndesis. "We can provision Layer 2 ATM individually, or Layer 3 MPLS individually, or both layers combined -- in networks comprised of Nortel Networks and other equipment types. This places us in an industry leading position to handle the convergence currently being experienced in the MSE market." Syndesis software solutions are engineered and proven to perform in multi-vendor, multi-technology carrier-class networks. This is a powerful differentiator for service providers who want to gracefully migrate services that are currently on ATM and/or MPLS to the edge of their network and beyond, onto the customer premises.
