The economics and delivery model of Enterprise Services are changing.

The price versus performance equation for Enterprise Communications Services continues to tighten. CSPs must find ways to deliver the best service quality at increasingly competitive price points.

Assurance for today’s virtual Enterprise Services, future-proofed for tomorrow.

Functional Modules

Innovative on-demand services are taking hold.

The edge cloud in the Central Office or data center capitalizes on proximity to enterprise clients while benefiting from improved economics of COTS infrastructure.

The customer premise is also being re-engineered.

The vendor-proprietary CPE is being replaced with simple commodity universal devices supported by Virtual CPE (vCPE) functions running as software in the Edge Cloud.

Applications

Hybrid SD-WAN

Virtual CPE Service Providers are defending lucrative Enterprise contracts from new entrants by augmenting MPLS services with SD-WAN and Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).

Service Providers are defending lucrative Enterprise contracts from new entrants by augmenting MPLS services with SD-WAN and Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). SLAs are as stringent as ever, and competitors are hungry to capitalize on any missteps.

Virtual CPE

As appliance-based network functions get virtualized into VNFs, they are also being relocated to the Edge Cloud.

As appliance-based network functions get virtualized into VNFs, they are also being relocated to the Edge Cloud. CSPs are redefining Enterprise Services through commercial deployment of Virtual CPE (vCPE) cloud services coupled with low-cost Universal CPE (uCPE) hardware at the customer site.

The uCPE hardware has some compute resources, allowing the managed cloud to extend all the way into the customer site. This variability in deployment represents a departure from well established and understood practices of the past, and forms a new challenge in assuring tight SLAs.

SONAR4 enables you to ‘follow the breadcrumbs’ through this multi-layered, multi-site technical environment.

“Adapting to the rapidly evolving world of virtualized Enterprise Services demands a cloud-native assurance solution from the onset.”
