Verizon Boosts NFV Service Assurance with End-to-End Visibility - CENX to Provide Closed-loop Intelligence Across Multiple Platforms

Ottawa, Ontario (ots/PRNewswire) -

Continuing to advance its network virtualization strategy, Verizon
has implemented an orchestrated real-time analysis engine that
aggregates IP and optical network data to successfully provide
service assurance for NFV deployments.

Verizon has chosen CENX to provide the tools that deliver a
unified view of the state of physical and virtual components across
multiple network systems and data centers.

Operational complexities increase as service providers implement
NFV across networks. A singular view, such as that provided by CENX,
simplifies those complexities with views of network inventory,
service topology, faults, performance, and usage. This information is
then correlated with KPIs to generate end-to-end performance
monitoring.

"As one of the first global carriers to implement SDN and NFV,
Verizon is committed to providing the level of service our customers
expect," said Eric Lia, Executive Director, Network Infrastructure
Planning for Verizon. "CENX's service assurance capabilities enable
us to manage the inherent complexities that come with virtualization
while meeting the high bar we set for service delivery."

Over the years, Verizon has adopted new ways to design, develop,
and manage its networks while staying focused on service assurance in
order to deliver the high quality of service and end-user experience
for which the company is known.

Jay McMullan, Senior Vice President of CENX, said, "We are excited
to continue our relationship with Verizon by applying our CENX
product suite to their growing NFV assurance initiatives."

Be sure to visit Verizon and CENX at Mobile World Congress
(http://cenx.com/company/events/) in Barcelona, Spain, from Feb. 27
to Mar. 2.
