WebNMS Showcases Automation of Operations for Service Providers at MEF GEN14

WebNMS, the leading provider of multi-vendor network management and IoT solutions, today announced that it will showcase its innovation in network service automation at MEF GEN14. The event, being held at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington, D.C., has gathered industry thought leaders and decision makers from across the provider community, many of whom see orchestration as critical to their profitability.

At MEF (News - Alert) GEN14, WebNMS is highlighting automation solutions for MEF-defined Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services. The WebNMS Carrier Ethernet Solution enhances key network and service management capabilities required for dynamic services. The WebNMS solutions support a wide variety of use cases, but at the Metro Ethernet Forum (News - Alert) (MEF) conference, WebNMS is focusing on critical new capabilities enabling automation of MEF-defined services, use cases and best practice workflows across multi-vendor, Carrier Ethernet 2.0 networks. These new capabilities within the WebNMS Carrier Ethernet solution are prerequisites for provider orchestration of many existing, well-defined services and future services based on SDN and NFV.

"WebNMS is excited to take advantage of the opportunity MEF GEN14 offers to showcase the innovations we are developing to support on-demand network services," said Prabhu Ramachandran, director of WebNMS. "Service providers are looking to automate their operations through orchestration, not just for SDN, but for today's bread and butter services like Carrier Ethernet. At MEF GEN14, WebNMS is showcasing orchestrated Carrier Ethernet services with new solutions that give operators and their customers dramatically increased service visibility and control."
