Only broadband architecture to accelerate transition to SD-Access
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2016--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced its Mosaic
Cloud Platform™ to provide control and orchestration capabilities
for ADTRAN’s Mosaic Software Defined Access (SD-Access) architecture.
The Mosaic Cloud Platform combines modular apps that have been in a
microservices software architecture with open source control and
orchestration platforms to create the industry’s first and only solution
to deliver open, SDN-based programmability of broadband access networks
while maintaining the feature set and functionality of traditional
management solutions.
“Open source software drives quick industry consensus for what is needed
in control and orchestration platforms, including flexibility across
multi-technology and multi-vendor network environments,” stated Michael
Howard, senior research director and advisor, carrier networks, IHS
Markit Technology. “Platforms such as the ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud Platform
are essential to carriers as they transition to more automation and
service agility in order to engage customers via self-service portals.
This transition will enable subscribers to easily customize broadband
services based on their own unique requirements. SD-Access networks will
not only support the self-directed subscriber, but make it easier for
the service provider to manage broadband traffic loads across the
network while reducing truck rolls and operational expenses.”
The ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud Platform orchestrates on-demand provisioning of
services, applications and resources across the entire access network
from cloud-edge to subscriber-edge. The modular, component-based
management and control applications enable service providers to
seamlessly deploy and upgrade services to all subscribers and/or network
elements on the network at the same time. It leverages a multi-layered
approach that includes an Orchestration Layer for the logical creation
and provisioning of services, a Management and Control Layer that
separates complexity with an open source SDN controller and a Device
Abstraction/Aggregation Layer that connects any underlying physical and
virtual network elements. These network-wide provisioning and management
capabilities allow ADTRAN’s customers to deploy services, for the first
time, at the network level instead of having to manually provision
services on the device or subscriber level. This approach to building
open, programmable networks facilitates rapid innovation in
multi-technology, multi-vendor environments.
“ADTRAN’s latest advancements in SD-Access technology are game-changers
for the delivery of residential, business and backhaul services,” said
Robert Conger, associate vice president, cloud and portfolio strategy,
ADTRAN. “The Mosaic Cloud Platform’s open microservices architecture
enables our customers to better align network operations and IT
development teams while operating their networks at Web scale,
streamlining service innovation and capturing additional subscriber
mindshare and revenue. ADTRAN Mosaic also enables our service provider
customers to leverage the vast open source market to reduce service
disruption and deploy new applications while maintaining a high quality
of service.”
