Netrounds has joined the NEC/Netcracker SDN Partner Space ecosystem and is collaborating with NEC and Netcracker, providers of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) solutions as well as business and operations support systems (BSS/OSS).
The collaboration will enable communication service providers to capture new revenue opportunities by accelerating agile deployments of assured network services and incorporating active test and assurance solutions via open APIs into OSS workflows for increased efficiency and decreased operational expenditures.
Netrounds' software-based active test and assurance platform will be integrated with NEC and Netcracker's orchestration and network monitoring solutions to allow CSPs to deploy an active solution that covers the entire service lifecycle in an automated, DevOps-based and operationally efficient way.
This will accelerate the delivery of dynamic network services by eliminating manual efforts that prevent full automation of fulfillment and assurance workflows.
"For our customers, the ultimate end-goal is to become more agile and to capture new business opportunities, and this requires solutions built on software, supporting comprehensive end-to-end automation of both operational and lifecycle processes," said Mats Nordlund, CEO of Netrounds.
“The integration of Netrounds with NEC and Netcracker's orchestration and network monitoring solutions allows our customers to use Netrounds' complete API to automate assurance and active analytics in their networks,” said Norlund.
