ARIA NETWORKS ADDS NEW ETHERNET MODULE TO ITS INDUSTRY-LEADING PLANNING SOLUTION SUITE – iVNT
Aria Networks, a leading provider of planning solutions for NGNs today announces the addition of a new module to its iVNT software solution suite – iVNT Ethernet.
iVNT Ethernet is a software module within the iVNT solution suite that enables telecom carriers to plan, activate and operate their Provider Backbone Bridging, Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) based Ethernet transport networks to ensure the infrastructure can deliver the appropriate service quality and availability.
Provider Backbone Bridging, Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) is an emerging technology being defined by the international standards bodies, aimed at providing carrier-grade Ethernet transport. PBB-TE will enable wide-scale deployment of Ethernet Switched Paths (ESPs) as a deterministic transport mechanism. PBB-TE also enables Ethernet transport networks to be operated in a manner similar to existing transport technologies, such as SONET/SDH.
“Aria is taking the lead by delivering innovative PBB-TE planning and activation capabilities that enable the operational viability of PBB-TE transport networks and services,” said Dr. Jay Perrett, Aria’s VP of R&D, “iVNT Ethernet leverages the proven iVNT capabilities and builds on our existing MPLS-TE, IP, Optical and VPN planning modules, enabling carriers to address their multi-technology NGN planning needs.”
iVNT Ethernet enables telecom carriers and Internet service providers to accelerate the time-to-revenue for Ethernet transport and services, and enables competitively differentiated services with the industries most extensive service definition and traffic-engineering capabilities.
“PBB-TE is an important emerging technology domain and gives carriers another choice for building their NGNs. Aria’s goal is to provide a suite of powerful planning and activation products that address the multi-technology, multi-layer planning needs of converging NGNs,” said Tony Fallows, Aria’s CEO, “iVNT Ethernet extends Aria’s product leadership as we are the only company able to provide planning and activation across the available NGN technologies. This enables our customers and partners to improve their operational efficiency and increase their profitability.”
