WebNMS demos expanded capabilities for Carrier Ethernet 2.0

At Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) GEN14, WebNMS, a specialist in multi-vendor network management and IoT solutions, is showcasing automation solutions for MEF-defined Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services.

WebNMS solutions at MEF focus on enabling automation of MEF-defined services, use cases and best practice workflows across multi-vendor, Carrier Ethernet 2.0 networks.  They unify management and enhance key network and service orchestration capabilities within an SDN-ready platform.

The new capabilities are prerequisites for provider orchestration of many existing, well-defined services and future services based on SDN and NFV, the company said.

Prabhu Ramachandran, director of WebNMS, said, “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.”
