High-Performance DNX Bandwidth Management Platform Consolidates
Access and Delivery for Packet and Circuit-Based Services
Sycamore Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCMR) today announced that NTT
Communications (NTT Com), a global provider of information and
communications technology solutions, has selected Sycamore DNX-11/88 and
ENvision Plus multiservice access and network management platforms to
perform key service access and delivery roles in NTT Com’s global
multiservice network.
The DNX multiservice access platform aggregates, grooms, and enhances a
wide variety of network services – ranging from traditional leased lines
to dynamic IP VPNs – while providing automated protection mechanisms for
specific service types. The DNX platform allows NTT Com to upgrade
existing network nodes and functions with a single intelligent system,
leading to simpler operations, space savings, cost optimization, and
improved economies of scale, now and as the network grows.
“We are extremely pleased that NTT Com has chosen to partner with
Sycamore as they evolve the access portion of their multiservice
network,” said Daniel E. Smith, Sycamore’s president and chief executive
officer. “NTT Com is widely recognized for their award-winning services
portfolio, and we look forward to helping them continue their track
record of success with our DNX solutions.”
DNX systems also provide strong monitoring and diagnostic capabilities
that support remote management and unattended operation while
maintaining a high level of network availability. ENvision Plus network
management software works with DNX platforms to automate and simplify
provisioning, streamline event and alarm management processes through
filtering tools, and provide visual test access and line diagnostics.
Other capabilities include multi-level topology views, advanced
bandwidth reporting utilities for switch fabric management, and an
architecture that simplifies integration into NTT Com’s existing
operational support systems.
