Transition Networks CONVERGEâ„¢ EMS Platform Simplifies Service Delivery
With the release of Convergeâ„¢ 1.1 Transition Networks continues to maximise operational efficiencies and simplify the complex service turn-up
Transition Networks Inc., the fiber access technology expert, a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-GM: JCS), today announced the release of Converge™ 1.1 Element and Service Management System. CONVERGE™ 1.1 adds a comprehensive Carrier Ethernet 2.0 service management suite for quick and efficient provisioning of end-to-end Carrier Ethernet services. The rapid service activation uses service templates built with predefined service definitions for EPL, EVPL, E-LAN, and EVP-LAN services, in addition to custom service offerings. Converge™ EMS 1.1 drastically accelerates the service turn-up, helping to significantly reduce a service provider’s time-to-revenue or time-to-service. Converge™ EMS addresses the needs of customers deploying CE 2.0 services, bringing simplicity to the provisioning and monitoring of services.
“With this release of Converge EMS, Transition Networks recognises the value of adding a simpler way to manage functionality with the intent of making Service Providers lives easier.†said Jon Collins, Sr. Product Manager at Transition Networks. “Service providers will benefit tremendously by dramatically reducing the number of operational tasks and the cost associated with managing a complex Carrier Ethernet network.â€
Key Product Features As part of the complete lifecycle, Convergeâ„¢ EMS 1.1 includes an on demand and proactive OAM fault performance management with service-based performance statistics in both real-time and historical measurements. Convergeâ„¢ 1.1 helps Service Providers offer differentiated services from a catalog of granular service offerings, which can be easily created using service templates. This also includes the automation of Service Centric OAM setups in Convergeâ„¢ with point-and-click loopback, link trace, Service OAM and real-time Fault and Performance monitoring to make it easy for Service providers to monitor their networks and assure their customers of SLA Compliance.
One Simple Solution Transition Networks understands the complexity of your network and the operational expenses associated with its management, which can account for up to 80% of a service provider’s budget. Converge™ helps to demonstrate simplicity and reduce the complexity out of today’s, multi-vendor, management systems with a seamless integration into an existing front and back office B-OSS or NMS systems. This interoperability within a multi-vendor ecosystem is assured through our open service provisioning and operations APIs and the implementation of MEF Standard CE 2.0 service definitions. Converge’s™ open service API’s are critical for easy service creation and the unified delivery of network services and when used with Transition Networks’ network interface devices has been shown to save an average of 44% on OpEx costs and an average CapEx savings of 35%. This simplified networking approach allows for automated provisioning of complex end-to-end tasks and a centralised point for service activation testing.
