Ericsson brings power of cloud to network management with 'as a service' launch
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson Network Manager as a Service helps operators with predictable total
cost of ownership for network management and enables an efficient network
evolution
* Includes all features of an on-premise Ericsson Network Manager system and
maintained with the latest software
* Selected customers to get first opportunity in Q3 2017
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) launches its state of the art Ericsson Network Manager
in an "as a service" model to better support operators in their journeys to
virtualization, software-defined networking and 5G network transformation.
Ericsson is accelerating "software as a service" as a business and delivery
model for networks and mission-critical management systems. Ericsson Network
Manager as a Service combines latest IT cloud technologies together with decades
of managed hosting and managed services capabilities, operational knowledge and
global leadership.
Built with a new, highly scalable software architecture, Ericsson Network
Manager combines Element Management System, Network Management System and
Analytics functions. It manages physical & virtual network functions across many
technologies (multiple Radio technologies, Core & IP) and exposes them in a
unified manner to operator's existing OSS ecosystems.
Anders Lindblad, Head of Business Unit IT & Cloud products, says:
"Virtualization and software defined networking is transforming the telecom
networks and how they are managed. Similar to the on premise Ericsson Network
Manager, we believe software as service is another excellent way of delivering
and consuming the network management features that brings automation, agility
and innovation. As the operators embark on this NFV, SDN and 5G transformation
journey, Ericsson Network Manager as a service offers flexibility, and lower
total cost of ownership."
Larry Goldman, Partner and Head of Networks and Software Research at Analysys
Mason says: "Ericsson Network Manager exemplifies Ericsson's longstanding
leadership in managing tens of thousands of nodes in Tier 1 operator radio,
transport and core networks. This as-a-service announcement is an expected, but
innovative evolution of Network Management and meets a key need for operators
seeking to gain greater benefits from internet models that drive out cost, and
improve customer experience."
There are now three options available for operators to empower their network
functions with Ericsson Network Manager: native with software and hardware;
software in customer chosen cloud; and as service.
To drive the developing market and software as a service throughout network
solutions, Ericsson will work closely with a select group of customers using
Ericsson Network Manager as a Service.
