Accedian's Next-Gen SkyLIGHT Solution Adds NFV-PM, Gives Operators Unprecedented Accuracy and Scale

Montreal (ots/PRNewswire) -

Accedian's patented solution adds new distributed capability for
precise, decentralised, one-way network performance monitoring

Accedian, original inventor of patented virtual clock
technology-enabling accurate, one-way network performance
measurements without the need for external synchronization, is
raising the bar again with the latest version of its SkyLIGHT(TM)
performance assurance solution
(https://accedian.com/solutions/skylight-platform/overview/).

The new version of SkyLIGHT employs network functions
virtualisation (NFV), performance monitoring (PM), capabilities both
for mesh and hub-spoke type of active testing that dramatically
enhance the scalability and pervasiveness of existing one-way
performance monitoring with a hardware-assist option that makes
virtual clock synchronization even more accurate-up to 10 times
better than competitors.

The new Accedian solution offers microsecond precision; patented
1-way measurements; real-time, ultra-high granularity (with
measurement reporting capabilities down to seconds); and ubiquitous,
seamless integration with third-party standards-compliant network
element PM responders.

Accedian's SkyLIGHT solution provides unrivaled network monitoring
coverage.

SkyLIGHT is the telecom industry's first performance assurance
solution that leverages NFV, and extends advanced monitoring
capabilities across the entire network. More than 15 of the top 20
global operators (including Reliance Jio (https://accedian.com/blog/l
ibrary/ltevolte-customer-experience-assurance-mobile-world-congress-2
017-proof-concept-demo/) and Telefonica (https://accedian.com/library
/?_sf_s=telefonica#telefonica-case-study)) use the award-winning
(https://accedian.com/about-us/awards/) SkyLIGHT solution to ensure
visibility of their next-generation networks. The NFV-PM enhancement
allows extension of that monitoring-even at locations without
existing test functions-in a timely and cost-effective way.

The latest version of SkyLIGHT leverages standards-based
reflectors and network performance elements, and can be deployed
completely virtually (with no dependency on proprietary hardware),
making it a highly scalable and flexible solution. Small form factor
modules (https://accedian.com/library/?_sft_librarycategory=data-shee
t+modules) at the sender location provide the ability to monitor
thousands of sessions from each module, with microsecond level
accuracy. SkyLIGHT provides unparalleled and unrivaled visibility of
network performance, enabling operators to differentiate themselves
from their competitors and ensure quality of experience (QoE) for
their customers.

"For operators, service providers and enterprises, the need is
becoming more pressing for continuous network performance monitoring
that's accurate and easy to deploy," stated Michael Howard, Senior
Research Director and Advisor of IHS Markit. "Providers and
enterprises will want to examine Accedian's latest version of its
SkyLIGHT, since it takes performance monitoring to a new level, and
from our vantage point, it appears to be the only one that can do
one-way monitoring with a completely virtualized solution."

"Accedian is a pioneer and an established market leader in network
performance monitoring. For example, we've provided virtual clock
capabilities as an integral part of our offering since before 2011,"
said Accedian Vice President of Products, Martin Labelle. "There are
no other performance assurance solutions on the market today that can
match the accuracy, flexibility, and scale of the SkyLIGHT NFV-PM
solution."
