WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NetCracker Technology announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named NetCracker’s Service Orchestrator as a 2014 Excellence in SDN Award winner presented by TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine and SDN Zone.
“SDN and NFV have become important areas for strategic investment among our customers as they continue to seek reductions in network and data center CapEx and OpEx, while offering their customers leading-edge network, application and digital services,” said Sanjay Mewada, Vice President, Strategy at NetCracker Technology. “We are honored that TMC, Internet Telephony and SDN Zone have chosen to recognize NetCracker as the winner of the 2014 Excellence in SDN Awards. This once again underscores NetCracker’s long-held commitment to bring innovation and solution excellence to our customers.”
NetCracker’s Service Orchestrator is unique in the SDN/NFV marketplace because it enables end-to-end orchestration of service provisioning and service assurance for hybrid networks that comprise both virtualized SDN/NFV-based components and traditional network technologies. Service Orchestrator conforms fully to modern, virtualized network requirements, such as real-time network management. This capability is crucial because virtualized network states transform in near real-time in response to changing variables, such as capacity, available resources and dynamic, logical network connections. NetCracker’s Service Orchestrator is also policy-driven because hybrid, virtualized networks must be provisioned according to specific customer types, security requirements, use cases, applications and traffic models.
NetCracker’s Service Orchestrator is pre-integrated with NetCracker’s BSS/OSS solutions as well as SDN/NFV controllers from NEC. Furthermore, it can be integrated with third-party BSS/OSS or SDN/NFV controllers via standard open interfaces and APIs.
“Recognizing leaders advancing SDN technologies, TMC is proud to announce NetCracker Technology as a recipient of the annual Excellence in SDN Award," said Rich Tehrani, CEO at TMC. "NetCracker’s Service Orchestrator has demonstrated innovation and will help shape the face of the quickly evolving industry. It is our pleasure to honor NetCracker Technology for their inspiring work.”
SDN architecture has already had a profound impact on the IT and Telecom industries and, as this technology continues to grow in popularity, the Excellence in SDN Awards recognizes the companies that are leading the way in SDN architecture and applications.
Winners of the Excellence in SDN Award are published in the May 2014 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine.
