MPLS Service Providers

MPLS networks have become the de-facto standard for enterprise IP-VPN services. Compared to previous technologies, MPLS enables more flexibility for change management, native any-to-any connectivity, and better Quality of Service (QoS) by using classes of service.

But enterprises want more. They want greater visibility of the delivered WAN services. Monitoring bandwidth consumption per access link on a five minute average is not sufficient. They also want more control and granularity to manage application performance.

By using Streamcore solutions, MPLS operators can provide new advanced services to their customers. And for the first time, these advanced services can be enabled in an easy and simple way, without the complexity of traditional telco solutions. The underlying traffic management technology requires a few parameters to enable all services, whether related to visibility or performance control. Moreover, Streamcore’s Management and Provisioning features simplify all configuration tasks and make change management easy.

Due to the trend toward centralization and IT consolidation, most traffic is exchanged with a few central sites. New services powered by Streamcore can thus be implemented with Data Center Solutions. Streamcore’s unique multi-tenancy capabilities also enable the deployment of in-the-cloud solutions within a MPLS Service Provider infrastructure (PoP). Streamcore allows you to choose what is best for you: CPE-based or in-the-cloud based managed services for your enterprise customers.

The value-added services for MPLS Service Providers are:

• Advanced Visibility Services into WAN infrastructure and application delivery performance, relying on best-in-class Streamcore Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting features. Enterprises can understand which applications are used the most and how they perform over the WAN. Moreover, visibility into resource usage enables accurate and effective bandwidth planning. Bandwidth upgrades can be justified and their impact on performance can be guaranteed.

• Class of Service Reporting on MPLS networks with Classes of Service enabled. Streamcore solutions enable visibility into Class of Services usage and per application performance statistics within a Class of Service.

• NOC Troubleshooting Tools and Alarms:  Enable proactive management and adaptive, timely, and appropriate responses to crises.
