All Rights Reserved. Uniqueness: This radically more efficient approach to network performance monitoring combines all the benefits of virtualization without compromising test speed or precision. By eliminating key cost, scalability, and coverage barriers to network performance visibility, service providers can now more cost-effectively ensure a better quality of experience (QoE) for users.Key VCX differentiators: Retains minimum hardware required to achieve same precision and packet/flow processing as standalone solutions; Lossless tunnel assures connectivity with the VNF controller; Complete backward compatibility with physical appliance/standalone solutions versions; Allows virtualized solution adoption without OSS upgrade, SPIT contribution, or change of process OS: Linux (Ubuntu (also runs on Red Hat)) Hypervisors: EXSi, KVM CMP: OpenStack, VMware vCAC/vCD OPNFV: N ETSI NFV ISG: N Uniqueness: Web-based: OBelle Archon functions are fully supported only if the underlying platform supports a web browser (e.g. most PCs, laptops, and mobile phones). With state-of-the-art web technology, each user can build their own customized monitoring page. Network Analysis: OBelle Archon provides network administrators with overall network topology/ traffic view. Reliability analysis for the network is also provided. OS: Linux, Windows Hypervisors: Not provided OPNFV: N CMP: Not provided ETSI NFV ISG: N Uniqueness: Best Market QoS Measurement Accuracy; Flexible solution - Software &/or Hardware Based solution; Agnostic: Network Supplier independent, Integration into any OSS system with Web Services Rest Full API; Industry standard based with IPPM, TWAMP & EOAM.
