WebNMS to Showcase Lifecycle Service Orchestration for Service Providers

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Nov. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- - Proof of Concept shows multi-vendor Lifecycle Service Orchestration

- Company director addresses competitive differentiation and scaling NFV/SDN on panel discussions

- Platform integrated with OpenStack SDN controller and commercial big data framework

PLEASANTON, Calif. and DALLAS — November 10, 2015 — WebNMS, a leading provider of scalable software platforms for multi-vendor network management and IoT solutions, will showcase its solution for Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services on existing Ethernet, IP/MPLS and SDN networks at MEF GEN15. The event, being held November 16-19, 2015, at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, will gather industry thought leaders and decision makers from across the provider community, many of whom see service orchestration as critical to their profitability.

At MEF GEN15, WebNMS is highlighting their multi-vendor Lifecycle Service Orchestration solution for MEF-defined Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services. The WebNMS Symphony Orchestration Platform consolidates and automates the complete lifecycle of service management, enabling the efficient delivery of on-demand, elastic services.

The Symphony platform supports a wide variety of use cases. At the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) conference, WebNMS will focus on LSO, showing MEF-defined services, use cases and best practice workflows across multi-vendor, Carrier Ethernet (CE) 2.0 networks. These capabilities are prerequisites for provider orchestration of complex services across existing CE and SDN networks, enabling the effective integration of NFV solutions.

“MEF GEN15 is a terrific venue for WebNMS to showcase our powerful solutions that support dynamic network services and streamline operations,” said Darryl Stork, regional director of WebNMS. “Our service provider customers, like Metrofibre in South Africa, are automating their existing service operations following the MEF’s LSO principles for Carrier Ethernet. The proof of concept with Omnitron and Veryx will illustrate how to chain CE and OpenStack SDN services. This movement toward service automation will have tremendous upside for IT managers.”
