This latest release empowers field technicians to
seamlessly test and validate Ethernet mobile and business services
including enterprise and cloud applications.
QUEBEC CITY,
June 27, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF) released today the latest software
version for its award-winning NetBlazer Series. The unprecedented
power and functionality of this comprehensive multiservice testing
solution enables the accurate activation and validation of
next-generation Carrier Ethernet services with very little time and
effort.
Since technology is constantly evolving and
transforming the way services are delivered, customers expect
greater performance, flawless reliability and more flexibility from
their providers. In essence, operators and providers must now
support and offer multiple classes of service and manageability
over interconnected networks. The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) CE2.0
helps them achieves this.
Over the years, EXFO has developed innovative
solutions that are at the forefront of technology and adapted to
existing and future Ethernet service requirements. With its latest
software release, EXFO's NetBlazer Series integrates, into a
one-module solution, all the testing functionalities required to
activate and validate CE2.0 compliant services used to deliver
Ethernet cloud-based services, business services, as well as
mobile-backhaul services. This is accomplished with test
applications such as EtherSAMTM for multiple classes of
service, validation of SyncE/1588 PTP testing to ensure proper
synchronization throughout the network, OAM functionalities
ensuring automated service management, and ExacTCP to validate the
end-user application performance.
As part of the FTB Ecosystem, the NetBlazer
Series delivers unmatched testing functionality and operational
efficiency that no other testing solution on the market can offer.
By leveraging the powerful correlation engine from EXFO's
cloud-based solution, EXFO Connect, and the unprecedented
flexibility of EXFO TFv—Test Function Virtualization, the NetBlazer
Series is truly an optimized and comprehensive testing
solution.
"For many years now, EXFO has been an active
member and a key contributor to standards development organizations
such as the MEF. We have also been developing testing methodologies
such as EtherSAM (ITU-T Y.1564) and
ExacTCP (RFC 6349) to ensure that we bring to market what
operators, service providers and contractors need to address their
operational challenges," says Claudio
Mazzuca, Vice-President of EXFO's Transport and Service
Assurance Division. "The enhanced NetBlazer Series meets this
challenge and streamlines test operations of CE2.0 compliant
services, from build-out to maintenance."
