Santa Clara, California. January 23, 2002
- Clear, a leading provider of optical, broadband and digital
network management software, today announced a solution partnership
with Turin Networks, a provider of intelligent optical networking
platforms and systems. Together, Clear and Turin Networks will
offer carriers a more comprehensive approach to keeping pace
with the demand for scalable high-bandwidth services.
As a result of this partnership, the Clearview(TM) optical network
management suite will empower carriers to leverage their investment
in Turin's Traverse(TM) optical family of products by providing
complete fault, performance and service level reporting capabilities.
The combined solution ensures network reliability, peak performance,
and improved operational efficiency.
Using Clearview's service assurance capabilities and customer
circuit-centric performance reports, carriers will be able to
offer differentiated services, including next-generation data
services over gigabit Ethernet at the metro core and edge of
their networks. Service providers will benefit from reduced
costs through greater operational efficiency, the ability to
report and monitor service level agreements, and in the end,
increased revenue.
"As carriers focus on the build
out of their networks to support specific bandwidth demands
and revenue opportunities, quality of service becomes even more
critical" said Tom Richards, president and CEO of Clear. "It
is imperative that hardware and software leaders jointly develop
solutions for carriers-enabling more economical capacity deployment
as well as providing ongoing network management tools to drive
operational costs down. Ultimately, the key beneficiary of this
value is the end customer."
"Turin is partnering with
Clear to provide service providers the comprehensive performance
management and visualization capabilities they need to deliver
next-generation Ethernet services as well as traditional voice
and private lines more efficiently and cost effectively" said
John Webley, Turin Networks president and CEO. "A solution
that combines Clearview with Turin's Traverse Multiservice Optical
Transport Platform allows carriers to derive the maximum performance
and revenue potential from the existing infrastructure as they
migrate economically to next-generation packet services."
