Lucent Technologies yesterday
introduced Navis Provisioning Manager 4.0, which the company said is designed to significantly reduce the time and expense of carriers who
set up, deliver and manage IP Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
Navis PM is part of the Lucent Navis iOperations platform,
which is designed to provide end-to-end service creation, provisioning, monitoring and
service quality management of current and next generation services over
multi-vendor, multi-technology networks.
According to Lucent, the new software supports Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Frame Relay and
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services, as well as the latest multi-protocol
label switching (MPLS) VPN and IP Quality of Service (QoS) technologies,
enabling carriers to more easily deliver high-volume IP services to their
subscribers.
Lucent reports that Navis PM will reduce the time it takes for the service
activation process with proven results in carrier installations including
flow-through rates of greater than 90 percent, processing of over 600,000
orders daily and service activation time of minutes rather than hours.
"As demand for next generation IP-based services grows, service providers
can now seamlessly turn up and manage virtual private networks over
multi-vendor access technologies, including Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet and IP
in an integrated fashion," said Deepak Kanwar, vice president of product
management and marketing, Network Operations Software (NOS) Group at Lucent
Technologies.
Kanwar said Navis PM 4.0 will help service providers
reduce operating expenses associated with multi-vendor layer 2 and layer
3 service activation processes, while allowing them to quickly deliver new
service offerings in high volume. Customers can easily integrate automated service delivery
into their operations for layer 2 activation, layer 3 activation, or both, he said.
Lucent reports that Navis PM 4.0 features Label Switch Path (LSP) optimization, which is designed to automatically
reroute MPLS tunnels making use of Bell Labs MPLS Traffic Engineering
technologies to avoid congestion and meet service quality expectations.
Bell Labs researchers played a key role in developing the algorithms and
the software at the core of Navis PM that enable seamless inter-working
between multi-vendor equipment, Lucent reported.
Navis PM supports
network equipment from a variety of vendors, including Lucent Technologies,
Juniper Networks and Cisco Systems.
