SD-WAN optimiser helps European tier one network operator's journey to SDN

A European tier one operator (former PTT) has deployed Aria Networks’ recently launched SD-WAN optimizer within their global network to deliver improved Quality of Service (QoS), automated repair of failure and network optimisation across all network layers and technologies.

The global service provider is using Aria Networks’ SD-WAN optimizer to support network planning, traffic orchestration and optimisation of resource utilisation for best quality and highest profitable service delivery. Applications include improved oversight of where and when to carry out planned engineering works, the impact that these will have on service provision, financial performance and oversight of potential network vulnerabilities. This allows the service provider to significantly reduce downtime and improve service levels. Aria Networks’ SD-WAN optimizer has helped the global network reduce response times to failure to less than five minutes and enables the network to carry out automated repairs that take into account improved QoS.

Tony Fallows, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aria Networks comments: “Having launched our SD-WAN optimizer earlier this month, this global network has already deployed the software to automate key aspects of capacity planning, orchestration and optimisation. This delivers improved visibility of potential network issues and enables the service provider to improve significantly their customer’s experience”.

Aria Networks’ SD-WAN optimizer models complex networks to deliver an overview of network and traffic in a number of different scenarios, predictive and in near real time. It integrates fully into the operator’s OSS business processes, delivering seamless network orchestration and management across the entire network and enabling a far richer oversight of service delivery performance and capacity utilisation. Uniquely, Aria Networks SD-WAN optimizer works across all network layers and technologies including multi-vendor networks, providing optimisation across even the most complex network architectures.

“As networks look to embrace Software Defined Networking, the SD-WAN optimizer is a critical step on the journey to delivering a more efficient and profitable network against an ever increasing demand for data services across heterogeneous networks.”
