With the increasing mobile data traffic this equation no longer works. Revenue per bit from data services is far from what is used to be from voice services. Most Service Providers are now increasing their network capacity with Ethernet based backhaul while reducing expenditure at the same time.
Ethernet Backhaul management
challenges
Raw bandwidth without proper management only partly fulfills the Service
Provider goals. With the deployment of Managed Ethernet Backhaul by applying
the ITU Y.1731 standard for Performance Management and automated Service Level
Agreement (SLA) assurance the investment is secured - providing scalability
into the management that is needed when the network expands into thousands and
tens of thousands of cell sites.
Rolling out new cell sites and provisioning new services is important but
equally important is the management and handling of the end-to-end SLAs and OAM
data received from the networks. It's fair to say that most software based
management options are not even capable of the heavy lifting required when OAM
data from tens of thousands cell sites start to flood in. Some of the solutions
might fall short already in the turn-up phase staggering with too many manual
stages in the provisioning process causing either slowness into the deployment
or even grinding it into a complete halt. What worked fine in the lab
environment might prove impossible to execute in real-world dimensions with an
insufficient solution.
Creanord EchoVault MAX -
Scalable Ethernet Backhaul with SLA assurance
Automation is the key when deploying end-to-end SLA and OAM between thousands
of sites. EchoVault MAX delivers this promise through Plug and Go Zero Touch -
with the speed and accuracy that is needed when rolling out large scale
Ethernet Mobile Backhauls.
EchoVault MAX provides superior performance and scalable Ethernet
Backhaul networks. The solution leverages on Oracle On-chip cryptographic
acceleration, Oracle VM virtualization, Oracle Real Application Cluster and
Oracle Partitioning - equaling raw but intelligent performance for real-world
networks.
From initial installations into large production networks with tens of
thousands nodes, the EchoVault MAX provides unbeatable performance and
scalability - making most of the Service Provider's Ethernet Mobile Backhaul
investment.
