Demonstration Showcases Improving Efficiency of
Cloud-based Services through Sonus NaaS IQ Platform and Compass
Networks’ SDN Forwarding Platform at Mobile World Congress
Key Takeaways:
- Sonus and Compass Networks to
demonstrate application optimization based on the Sonus NaaS IQ
platform at Mobile World Congress.
- Service providers can leverage their
existing infrastructure to offer Network as a Service (NaaS)
offerings.
- Operators can now increase efficiency
of Cloud-based services through the combined technologies.
Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in enabling
and securing real-time communications, and Compass Networks, a
next-generation routing company and icPhotonics™ pioneer, today
announced the companies are demonstrating how operators worldwide
can improve productivity of new Cloud-based services through the
Sonus Network as a Service (NaaS) IQ platform and the Compass
Networks software defined networking (SDN) Forwarding Platform at
Mobile World Congress.
The Sonus and Compass Networks demonstration focuses on three
key areas to accelerate the development of the architecture that
improves network utilization and ease of operation:
1. Sonus NaaS IQ Platform – This
solution enables operators to use general purpose OpenFlow enabled
platforms in configurations that will reduce Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) and increase the ability to scale networks to
satisfy increased demand with rapidly changing devices and
applications.
2. Compass Networks SDN Forwarding
Platform (SDNFP800) – A new network element based on
icPhotonics™ technology for optical interconnect within a
forwarding platform. The platform architecture is designed to allow
it to work in a hybrid mode, supporting both on-system protocols
stack and also be SDN controlled for specific flows streaming into
a service platform or any other packet handling out of the original
path. This capability enables rapid deployment of new SDN
controlled services and the flexibility and scale to support
existing ones.
3. Traffic Optimization through Network
Topology Discovery and Analytics – Sonus NaaS IQ platform
utilizes network topology combined with real-time traffic data and
manages the Compass Networks SDN Forwarding Platform to react
seamlessly and immediately to network bottlenecks and service
degradation due to link failures or traffic congestion.
Demonstration:
- Visit Sonus at Mobile World Congress
Hall 6 6G11 to View the Demo
- Throughout the week of Mobile World
Congress, Sonus and Compass Networks will demonstrate the
visualization of HD video streams over a congested network. The
Sonus SDN Intelligence solution will direct the Compass Networks
SDN Forwarding Platform to migrate the excess traffic into a
secondary path and regain the high video quality at time of
congestion.
- The demonstration will also display how
a SDN Intelligence solution, when coupled with a SDN Forwarding
Platform, deliver the integration and creation of services that are
both fast and easy to manage.
Quotes:
“This demonstration is an ideal opportunity to present the
unlimited potential of SDN networks,” said Ray Dolan, president and
CEO, Sonus. “The ability to heighten real-time applications over a
traditional WAN interface allows service providers and enterprises
to move Unified Communications and communications applications to
the Cloud, while optimizing bandwidth requirement, which allows the
industry to expand while decreasing costs. We are looking forward
to demonstrating this innovative technology at Mobile World
Congress with Compass Networks.”
“SDN and Cloud services virtualization technologies are
foundational to driving the industry into the era of new services
introduction at ‘the speed of life,’” said Matt Bross, chairman and
CEO, Compass Networks. “NFV appeals to all types of service
providers (mobile, landline, Cloud) by enabling them to provide new
services quicker and easier, while offering the best ROI in an
all-IP network. Additionally, data centers already in advanced
stages of deploying SDN-based services will benefit from the
collaboration of Sonus and Compass Networks in the aggregation and
WAN connectivity layers. Sonus is a true innovator in how it
approaches the network of the future and we look forward to working
and collaborating with them on this technology.”
