Creanord EchoVault

Enabling Providers to deploy Carrier Ethernet more aggressively

The amount of data being transported across internal and external business networks has grown exponentially. Increased bandwidth is also required in mobile and wireless backhaul. Service Providers see the Ethernet technology as the most cost effective and powerful solution.

However, the lack of bandwidth policing, performance and Service Level Agreement (SLA) capabilities are restricting Service Providers from deploying Ethernet technologies more aggressively. Creanord Managed Ethernet Access^TM eliminates these restrictions and unlocks the business-case for Providers.

MetroNID & MetroNODE Driven by EchoAgent

Creanord provides a range of robust, fast and flexible Carrier Ethernet Demarcation Devices (EDD), also called Network Interface Devices (NID), driven by Creanord EchoAgent^TM.

EtherShelf

When installed at the Customer Premises, the NID extends the management capabilities of the Carrier up to the customer’s closet. The Carrier can then precisely monitor the Ethernet service delivery (SLAs), test the circuits locally or on an end-to-end basis (SLA-Meter), and apply advanced traffic filtering, bandwidth policing (Bandwidth Policer) and monitoring (Traffic-Meter) functions.

The device can also be installed in a shelf for POP or co-location CO environments to provide intermediate points of monitoring, service performance assurance and management for a series of Ethernet services. The NID product line provides complete solution for Managed Ethernet Access, 10/100 Mbps or GigE, copper or fiber. The EchoAgents seamlessly connect the EtherNIDs and MetroNIDs to the Creanord EchoVault service and SLA delivery platform allowing service providers to

Mass configure and run complex SLA measurement and monitoring topologies
Collect, consolidate and harmonize large amount of Performance measurement and other KPI data for SLA and Business Intelligence reporting
