Business Wire
Proof of concept is integrated by Amartus and features automatic
service assurance using EXFO virtual probing technology
Amartus, a leading supplier of expert software network
services, and EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO, TSX: EXF), the network test,
monitoring and analytics experts, today announced a collaboration
to demonstrate dynamic bandwidth scaling and continuous performance
monitoring services for Carrier Ethernet (CE) networks that
leverages lifecycle service orchestration (LSO) at MEF17.
The proof of concept (PoC) is officially titled "On-Demand
Dynamic Bandwidth Scaling via LSO-compliant Platform and Continuous
Performance Monitoring with NFV." It will be on display in the PoC
area, but also be presented live on the Networking Hall Theater
stage on Nov. 14 at 6:10 pm and on Nov. 15 at 1:20 pm.
The PoC demonstrates provisioning of an orchestrated MEF CE 2.0
service with assurance capabilities. The solution consists of LSO
components integrated by Amartus and EXFO’s virtual probing
technology automatically deployed and configured as part of the
service provisioning. The PoC supports active assurance scenarios
such as service level agreement (SLA) compliance testing or dynamic
bandwidth shaping, by integrating EXFO’s performance assurance test
suite within LSO-compliant engine, providing a fully orchestrated
and closed-loop dynamic system.
PoC Utilizes LSO Presto SDK
The PoC is based on the LSO Presto software development kit
(SDK), which was first announced on Oct. 10, 2017, and features
standardized open APIs for orchestrating connectivity services over
multiple network technology domains.
The LSO Presto APIs are defined in MEF Interface Profile
Specifications (IPSs) and provide network resource provisioning,
performance monitoring, and other functions over various technology
domains (e.g., Packet WAN, Optical Transport, SD-WAN, 5G,
etc.).
EXFO Worx Delivers Orchestrated Service Assurance
EXFO’s key contribution to the PoC is its EXFO Worx active
service assurance solution. EXFO Worx is a comprehensive solution
comprising a scalable, cloud-enabled management system; a complete
set of integration and automation APIs; and VNF-based active test
probes (verifiers). The solution provides complete visibility of
end-to-end and segmented circuit provisioning and performance.
"With the release of the Presto SDK, our involvement with LSO is
increasingly focused on working with industry leaders to prove how
it can enable a wide range of end-to-end services," said Marcin
Paszkiewicz, Amartus’ CEO. "Service assurance is a critical element
of network services, and I'm pleased that we are joining forces
with EXFO on this PoC since they have an industry's leading
solution."
“We are pleased to be part of the PoC with Amartus” said Claudio
Mazzuca, EXFO’s Vice-President, Systems and Services. “This
initiative is the first working instance of our joint capabilities
which fully orchestrate and automate the test execution process in
conformance with the MEF reference architecture and framework.”
