Infovista, VMware Partner For Multi-Cloud
Environments
October 24, 2022
Infovista
is partnering with VMware to enable deployment of its Ativa Automated
Assurance and Operations suite on the VMware Tanzu platform. This
enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to accelerate their
digital transformation by deploying Ativa, seamlessly across any
combination of multi-cloud environments.
Officially validated as Partner Ready for VMWare Tanzu and listed on the
VMWare Marketplace, Infovista has tested and verified the
interoperability of Ativa with VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and can
fully manage customer support requests for Ativa and its solution
deployments.
Designed to address the complexity of modern network and service
operations, Ativa replaces siloed, fragmented, domain-oriented OSS and
assurance systems that focus on multiple disparate domains such as
subscriber, service, network, or infrastructure with a single
cloud-native suite of automated operations and assurance applications.
CSPs use Infovista Ativa for a wide range of use cases, with its
pre-configured use-case based solutions spanning monitoring and
troubleshooting for mobile, 5G standalone, IoT, fixed and enterprise
connectivity services; customer and device analytics; and the 360°
assurance family of solutions that enable horizontally and vertically
correlated, real-time, automated service assurance.
“The ‘cloud’ doesn’t automatically equate to agility, flexibility and
scalability; it’s about having the right systems in place – which are
cloud-native by design – to enable you to unlock the power of whatever
cloud architecture you have to drive your own digital transformation,”
said Yann Le Helloco, Chief Technology Officer, Infovista. “This
requires the ability to combine previously siloed data with powerful
automation to create a single source of truth that gives you 360°
visibility, interoperability and predictive automation in a multi-cloud
environment. By validating Infovista Ativa for VMware Tanzu, we are
ensuring that enterprises and operators can realize the full benefits of
their cloudified network.”
Deployable on private, public and hybrid clouds, virtualized datacenters
and bare metal, Infovista Ativa is powered by the network lifecycle
automation (NLA) Cloud Platform, which provides the building blocks for
Infovista’s NLA solutions. These automate processes and tasks that span
traditionally siloed systems, not only within operations but across
every phase of the network lifecycle. Ativa lays the foundations for
CSPs and enterprises to cost-effectively and seamlessly expand to NLA
solutions that extend beyond operations, such as Smart CAPEX for ROI-optimized
planning decision-making enriched by live operational intelligence.
Infovista Ativa is underpinned by an open, cloud-native platform
utilizing industry standard Open APIs and software development kits
(SDKs) that allow customers and partners to extend the available catalog
of pre-configured Infovista solutions and build their own applications
and use cases.
The Infovista Ativa suite of applications can be deployed
independently or in combination, and include:
Ativa
Net for cross-domain visibility of network resources and infrastructure
performance. It correlates network services, VNFs and infrastructure for
rapid troubleshooting
Ativa App for cross-domain visibility of
subscriber-facing and resource-facing services. It proactively monitors
and troubleshoots QoS and enterprise SLAs across wireless and wireline
Ativa Experience for cross-domain visibility of
perceived subscriber experience, including deep packet analysis
Ativa Automated Ops for automated AI/ML-driven
predictive analytics; network and service orchestrator interoperability;
zero-touch resource configuration; NOC/SOC workflow automation; and
active testing and validation
