Infobright and EXFO Team Up to Power Next-Generation Open Analytics Platform


Infobright, the database analytics platform for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that it has partnered with EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO (News - Alert); TSX: EXF), provider of next-generation test, service assurance and end-to-end Quality of Experience (QoE) solutions in the global telecommunications industry, to help operators and service providers improve their service and revenue agility, optimize their operational efficiency throughout the service lifecycle, and increase the customer QoE.

As the demand for reliable, high-performance networks continues to increase with the rise of virtualization and cloud-based service offerings, EXFO recognized the need to provide their customers with an in-depth view of their network performance in order to proactively identify and address issues impacting network service. By partnering with Infobright to embed the company's Enterprise Edition (IEE) into their existing infrastructure, EXFO is able to provide its customers with real-time, end-to-end performance monitoring and reporting of their networks.

"Infobright's analytic database platform allows us to ingest massive amounts of data to provide real-time information to our customers so that they can adapt more quickly to market demand and scale with demand," said Claudio Mazzuca, Vice-President of EXFO's Transport and Service Assurance Division. "Infobright's ad-hoc query speed and high compression rates accelerate the extraction of rich intelligence from a multitude of datasets, giving our customers actionable insights into their network operations. This helps them stay ahead of the curve with their converged, IP-fixed and mobile network offerings."

The combined Infobright and EXFO solution allows for a faster and more cost-effective way to crunch data that provides network carriers with a cloud infrastructure optimization that massively reduces compute and storage resources; a real-time big data platform that increases visibility into network operations; complex analytics and a service index to simplify processes; and elimination of the DBA (Database Administrator) tax.

"We are delighted to be working with the team at EXFO. Telecommunications carriers are facing a growing need for speed and agility as hey look to compete with more nimble IP-based Multimedia Service (IMS) models who are spinning out new services at accelerated rates," said Don DeLoach, Infobright President and CEO. "By integrating Infobright into their offerings, EXFO is able to provide their customers with operationalized intelligence into their network data, allowing them to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace."
