Emperative Advances Optical Service Provisioning.Business/Technology Editors WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2001 ONI ONI abbr. Office of Naval Intelligence Noun 1. ONI - the military intelligence agency that provides for the intelligence and counterintelligence and investigative and security requirements of the United States Navy Systems, LuxN Interoperability, New Nortel Integrations, and Breakthrough Approach to Provisioning Across Overlay Networks Continues Emperative's Leadership Emperative, the leading provider of on-demand, network and service provisioning software, today announced the release of ProvEn Optical 2.0 and the completion of interoperability with optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. equipment from ONI Systems (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ONIS), Nortel Networks (Nortel Networks Limited, Brampton, Ontario, www.nortelnetworks.com) A world leader in telecommunications products, which includes switching, wireless and broadband systems for service providers and carriers, telephones and systems for residential and business users, computer telephony (NASDAQ: NT), and LuxN. Specifically, Emperative has completed interoperability between its ProvEn Optical application and ONI System's Online 7000, 9000, and 11000, Nortel Networks' OPTera 3500, and LuxN's WavSystem 3200 family of optical equipment. In addition, Emperative detailed the new advanced feature set built into ProvEn Optical 2.0, including a breakthrough approach to provisioning end-to-end connections across SONET and DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing overlay networks that increases return on network investment. The announcement follows Emperative's several month long campaign to break optical networking's so-called provisioning bottleneck--a bottleneck that leaves a carrier's backbone and core network capacity under utilized. Emperative has led the movement to solve this issue by developing an automated provisioning The ability to set up new communications services for customers automatically. Carriers use automated provisioning to set up their network based on customers' requirements. Such systems control all network devices from a central console and greatly speed up deployment time from days to platform designed specifically for managing complex optical networks. By cutting out costly and time-consuming manual processes, Emperative lets carriers significantly reduce operational expenses and realize a return on the billions invested in optical network infrastructure over the last several years. Interoperability with equipment from ONI Systems and LuxN and new optical equipment from Nortel further bolsters Emperative's position as a leader in the race to build integrations to all strategic optical gear currently used by the largest telecommunications carriers in the world. Previously, Emperative demonstrated interoperability with Nortel's OPTera 5200, Ciena's MetroDirector (formerly the K2) and CoreDirector, Cisco's 15454, and the Redback SmartEdge 800. Emperative's Java SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). integration tool kit has also been made available to service providers and equipment manufacturers for customer integrations. Using this tool kit, Emperative develops new interfaces in 4 to 8 weeks, the fastest development cycle in the optical industry. Advanced Connection Management ProvEn Optical 2.0 gives carriers additional tools for more effectively activating end-to-end connections across complex, overlay optical networks. Each service provider's network consists of different combinations of technologies (DWDM, SONET, IP, ATM, Ethernet, etc.), equipment, and topologies. ProvEn Optical 2.0 allows service providers to divide end-to-end connections into segments that run across sub-networks, each of which is defined by certain characteristics, such as technology, topology, or vendor. By allowing optical networks to be organized in this way, ProvEn Optical helps providers increase network utilization, enforce their specific business policies, and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services across overlay networks of multiple technologies. Each segment can be routed differently, either directly by ProvEn, through an element management system (EMS), or manually. In addition, unique protection attributes can be assigned to individual sub-networks, with each segment provisioned based on the attributes assigned by the operator. The application includes must-have features found in the initial release of ProvEn Optical, such as auto-discovery of network resources, automated design/assign and activation functions for creating wavepaths and circuits across access, metro, and core optical networks, and management of multi-vendor environments. ProvEn Optical 2.0 is generally available at a starting price starting price n (COMM) → precio inicial starting price n → prix initial starting price start n (at auction of $200,000. Intelligent interfaces known as ilets (eye-lets) are available off-the-shelf for optical network elements, OSSs, and applications.
