Extreme Networks White Paper
Simplifying the Management of Converged
Services over Ethernet Transport Networks with
Ridgeline Service Advisor
Abstract: Carriers are deploying next generation networks that converge IP and
Ethernet services over a common Ethernet Transport network in order to
maximize revenue opportunities. With this convergence however, network
operators face complex operational challenges that can delay revenue,
adversely impact subscriber satisfaction, and result in inefficient use of
the network.
Extreme Networks
powerful service management software,
®
Ridgeline™ Service Advisor, allows carriers to address these tough
challenges. By enabling the shift from reactive circuit monitoring
to proactive service management, Ridgeline Service Advisor
helps carriers to monetize the network. This paper highlights
Ridgeline Service Advisor's key capabilities.
