November 2016 by Marc Jacob
ADVA Optical Networking introduced One Network Edge - a unified solution portfolio built upon the most comprehensive range of edge devices available in the industry. Covering service demarcation and performance assurance, virtual network function hosting, security, and synchronization delivery, One Network Edge has been specifically engineered to meet every edge application. This one-stop shop approach will dramatically simplify and unite service providers’ edge networks and help them to rapidly respond to growing demand for high-value communication solutions. Utilizing the ADVA FSP 150 product family, One Network Edge combines a mixture of hardware and software that ensures quick and easy service implementation with low operational impact. One Network Edge will be officially introduced to the industry at MEF16 from November 7 until November 10.
ADVA Optical Networking is introducing One Network Edge at a significant point in the development of the network. The growing interest in network functions virtualization, the demand for improved security, the need for synchronization and an increasingly challenging demarcation space, are all placing significant strains on services providers. To successfully address each of these areas, service providers need to manage a complex mix of heterogeneous equipment from multiple vendors. The capital and operating costs here are enormous. One Network Edge immediately simplifies this situation. With edge devices to suit every edge application, service providers now have one clear choice to simplify their product inventory while scaling to meet new business opportunities. Using the rock-solid foundation of the ADVA FSP 150 product family, One Network Edge presents the industry with a new benchmark for edge simplicity, scale and comprehensiveness.
