The exponential growth in technology has led to the creation of highly complex networks. Today, network operators and service providers need the ability to quickly activate and deliver a plethora of services ranging from voice and video to highly secured banking and financial transactions, each with diverse network requirements, to hundreds of customers over the same underlying network.

Today is also the age of the customer, where customers, if not satisfied with your service offerings, will look elsewhere for better alternatives. In such a scenario, how do you quickly provision new services, assure consistent performance, ensure customer satisfaction, and stay ahead of the competition?

This requires IT operations moving away from their antiquated, silos based approach using stand-alone products to using a single, end-to-end solution that covers all aspects of today’s modern network and enables the creation of a service ready network that supports faster order-to-service and trouble-to-resolve processes.

Leveraging on the real-time visibility into Layer 3 routing and topology combined with network performance metrics in ROA, network engineers gain insights into how their services are traversing from source to destination in their dynamically routed network.

This can be achieved using the Blue Planet intelligent automation platform. The combination of Blue Planet Multi-Domain Service Orchestration (MDSO) and Route Optimization and Assurance (ROA) products gives network operators and service providers the ability to enable faster service activation and assure service performance. Leveraging on the real-time visibility into Layer 3 routing and topology combined with network performance metrics in ROA, network engineers gain insights into how their services are traversing from source to destination in their dynamically routed network.

This helps network engineers and IT operations understand how their services are being delivered, proactively troubleshoot service delivery failures and plan for new service offerings while optimizing the existing network infrastructure. By combining the analytics from ROA with the intelligent orchestration capabilities of MDSO, network architects can automate the provision of new services across the IP and optical layer in minutes instead of the typically required days or even weeks.

Want to hear more? We cover how this is done and even more at the Blue Planet Customer Symposium in Paris, France, on 8th April 2019, a day prior to the MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress 2019. The symposium, an evolution of the Packet Design Customer Symposium, gives our global customers an opportunity to gain insights into industry trends, product updates, best practices and a lot more not only from the Blue Planet experts but also from other customers of the products.

If you’re planning your trip to the MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress 2019, do not miss this opportunity to join us at the symposium. If you haven’t registered for the symposium yet, talk to your Blue Planet account team or register here to confirm your attendance.

Hope to see you in Paris!
