Value Proposition, Including Point-and-Click Provisioning,
for Service Providers
ATLANTA, June 4, 2001
AcceLight Networks, developer of the first Photonic Service
Switch, and AdventNet Inc., provider of Web NMS, the market-leading
Java-based management framework, announced a partnership designed
to deliver innovative products to telecommunications service
providers. AcceLight's customers will benefit from the Web
NMS features, such as flexible deployment; quick ramp-up;
point-and-click provisioning; simultaneous visibility across
all network layers; and simple and easy software management.
AdventNet's Web NMS features will be incorporated into the
AcceLight PhotoniX(TM) Core Manager, the management platform
that supports AcceLight's product family.
"AcceLight's Photonic Service Switch is indeed breakthrough
technology that consolidates multiple network layers to one
intelligent optical switching platform. It helps carriers
mitigate the risks of managing multiple networks and systems.
It also substantially reduces the associated costs. At the
same time, it ensures that service providers can offer their
customers unprecedented speed, reliability and innovative
services. We strongly believe in these values and are happy
to be a partner in delivering them," said Dr. Sridhar
Vembu, CEO of AdventNet.
"The AdventNet Web NMS platform enables AcceLight to
deliver a compelling management value proposition to its customers,
is developer-friendly and has excellent deployment flexibility,"
said Hyong Kim, AcceLight's CEO and founder. "We needed
a carrier-class management platform that, consistent with
the PhotoniX family's open architecture, supports the major
management protocols, operates in diverse operational environments
and has the ability to integrate with other applications.
The AdventNet Web NMS meets our stringent requirements."
