Defines Best-in-Class R-CORD turnkey solution with portable,
customizable architecture to ease service provider transition
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today extended the ADTRAN Mosaic™ open software
architecture with the unveiling of the ADTRAN SD-Access Accelerator. It
is a bundle of SD-Access system integration services with customizable
Residential-Central Office Re-Architected-as-a-Datacenter (R-CORD) Point
of Delivery (PoD) systems, providing the most comprehensive, standalone,
pre-integrated R-CORD solution available today. ADTRAN solidifies its
market leadership as an SD-Access systems integrator to allow service
providers to graduate to a truly open, disaggregated architecture built
on SDN principles. ADTRAN SD-Access Accelerator lays the foundation for
incremental network evolution and SDN services assessment.
Over the course of the past year, ADTRAN has established its innovation
leadership status in providing open, programmable and scalable networks
based on its award-winning ADTRAN Mosaic platform. With the introduction
of the ADTRAN SD-Access Accelerator, ADTRAN defines a clear course for
service providers to develop and plan for smooth and orderly upgrades of
their access networks based on data center principles. This approach
enables telecom and cable operators to create real SD-Access based
services within either a test or live environment, speeding time to
value, lowering cost of ownership and minimizing current network
disruption.
“As they realize the need to accelerate their path to deploying
SD-Access architectures, service providers are looking for effective
ways to transition their processes and build their knowledge base,” said
Kevin Barnes, AVP, Services and Solutions Integration, ADTRAN. “ADTRAN
SD-Access Accelerator offers turn-key solutions, making it easy to
develop and evaluate minimal viable product sets while quickly adapting
business processes. This can all be done without providers having to
overhaul their underlying technology foundation before making a
significant investment in SD-Access.”
Traditionally, operators have grown through acquisitions, adding to the
number of operating systems deployed across their network footprint.
ADTRAN SD-Access Accelerator enables these operators to customize and
incubate SDN in different operating environments. With a minimal upfront
investment, service providers and operators can mitigate the risk of the
transition while testing SDN in a controlled environment. Customized
ADTRAN SD-Access PoD solutions can also be built specifically for
demonstrations and lab trial purposes. The SD-Access PoD design can
serve as an initial building block that can easily be replicated in a
modular, scalable, and manageable way as service providers grow their
network.
ADTRAN Professional Services’ expertise in performing custom system
integration allows for a quick assessment and hands-on experience to
validate and subsequently deploy SDN-based services in the access
environment. ADTRAN’s professional services are being leveraged today to
service providers across the globe and are actively engaged with global
Tier 1 service providers with ADTRAN’s SD-Access Accelerator.
