NetCracker will be showcasing NetCracker 9.0 at Management World 2013 in Nice, France this week. "NetCracker 9.0 continues the tradition of bringing capabilities that are way ahead of anything comparable in the market," said Vasily Sedunov, Vice President, Engineering, at NetCracker. "As our customers look to lower total cost of ownership (TCO), eliminate the traditional systems silos to build business agility and start to virtualize their infrastructure, we are in lock step with them, providing the foundation and the mission-critical systems to drive the next level of business optimization and innovation." Single Underlying Platform with Real-time Capabilities The release of NetCracker 9.0 kicks off the evolution to a single, common platform with real-time capabilities, on which, all of NetCracker's 42 products and 11 product domains are built. It embeds the BSS capabilities acquired from Convergys' (News - Alert) IM into the NetCracker platform, providing seamless integration and end-to-end management. Anticipating the need for real-time BSS/OSS capabilities, NetCracker 9.0 creates the foundation for service providers to start getting their offline systems ready for an on-demand world. Enterprise Management NetCracker has long understood the business challenges facing its CSP (News - Alert) customers in the areas of enterprise operations. NetCracker 9.0 introduces a whole new domain, Enterprise Management, with six innovative products to help service providers break down the operations and bsiness silos and drive operational agility while maintaining end-to-end visibility and control. These six products include:
Each of these products is optimized for the unique business environment that exists for service providers. The underlying operational processes require a communications industry-specific approach to running enterprise operations, its numerous resources and multi-party projects. NetCracker 9.0's offerings in Enterprise Management bring together the three key stakeholders - CIO, CTO and CFO/COO - to align and optimize their enterprise. SDN Readiness - Getting Primed for a Virtual World As CSPs look to virtualization and the implementation of new architectural approaches to drive enhanced efficiency and management of their network and data-center infrastructures, Software Defined Networks (SDN) have become the key to unlocking the promised technology and business benefits. NetCracker 9.0 offers a full SDN - BSS/OSS integrated solution that enables higher network and IT asset and service utilization through optimized resource allocation across network and IT. It also ensures enhanced customer experience through up and down dynamic scaling of network resources, and pre-integrated service and network fault and problem management coupled with customer impact analysis. Working together with NEC (News - Alert) and with TM Forum's "Data Center of the Future" Catalyst, the vendor-independent SDN solution will be on display at the NetCracker pavilion and in Forumville locations. "Service providers are looking to drive the next level of efficiency within their network and IT domains," said Ari Banerjee (News - Alert), Senior Analyst at Heavy Reading. "By leveraging innovation in virtualization technologies such as SDN, they can significantly reduce both CapEx and OpEx. On the IT side, service providers are seeking business agility by tightly aligning key operational functions and eliminating the silos created by too many systems that are generic in nature and not designed keeping in mind specific nuances of the communications industry. NetCracker 9.0 precisely targets these challenges with its Enterprise Management suite, the single platform with real-time capabilities and its SDN-enabled BSS/OSS."
