Intelligent and rapid assurance operations
for complex networks
Today’s assurance tools aren’t equipped to effectively manage complex multi-technology and multi-domain networks. They have highly fragmented frameworks that require manually intensive swivel-chair operations and aren’t designed to address issues caused by interdependencies among the multiple layers of the network—which consume significant operational resources and can’t be easily tracked or managed. Importantly, this leads to potentially costly SLA violations.
Blue Planet Multi-Layer Assurance (MLA) takes a unified approach to providing assurance for multi-vendor and multi-layer networks that span both optical and IP domains. As a Proactive Network Operations solution, MLA is a comprehensive offering that uses advanced analytics, AI, and intent-based policies to enable a highly scalable closed-loop automation solution that combines human knowledge and oversight with machine learning—to intelligently automate the resolution of issues that can impact critical services. The result is outstanding service reliability and SLA conformance ---and gaining of your customers’ trust and loyalty.
