1 The next IP SLA generation Solution Advisor SLA Network Performance Monitoring Solution

2 2 Advisor SLA Network Performance Monitoring Solution. Executive Summary The Advisor SLA Solution has been chosen by medium to large Carriers & Service providers in the industry. It provides a complete visiblity on the Performance of any IP based Network infrastructure with real time accurate measurement (below 100µs), scalable Hardware & Software active Probes, and most importantly, open architecture capabilities, to minimize operational costs. The next IP SLA generation solution is fully independent from the network topology, equipment, and interoperates with most Network Equipment s available on the market. Advisor SLA simplifies the process of integrating a service assurance platform with your back office ticketing, alarms, and customer database information. Our device-agnostic approach is also critical for supporting a multivendor network and the various services being delivered. Advisor SLA helps Carriers & Service Providers to proactively manage SLA, check the compliance of the Service Level Agreement contracts, and Network efficiency. Advisor SLA key features Agnostic - Network Equipment independent Solution. Accurate - KPIs (Key Performance Indicator) with the best accuracy on the market with µs resolution. Key feature to detect specific Network behavior like Fast Reroute, Probe Familly - Combination of Hardware (H-Probe) & Software Probe (V-Probe) associated with a flexible licensing model, provide the right answer to customer needs in terms of Features, Performances and Price. Open Platform Test Transaction based on standard, TWAMP - RFC-5357,. Integration into existing OSS by using Standard Web Services REST Full API. Scalable - Simple design configuration (1 server) up to Multiple servers architecture (RDBMS) User Friendly Web Based GUI. Reliable / Trusted solution - Solution deployed at key Carriers & Service Providers: Orange, Telecom Italia, MGTS, Telmex, Renater, FCCN,. NFV / SDN Ready

3 3 Advisor SLA Benefits QoE Improvement - Improve the Quality perceived by the end user (QoE) with better Ethernet & IP Network QoS Improve Customer Satisfaction Quickly and effectively Manage SLA Violations before they escalate to customer-affecting issues Significantly Reduce Help Desk Call Volume Cost Effective, Entry Level & Turnkey Solution, Software Agent Scalable, for small and large deployments, End-to-End Visibility, E2E QoS Measurement on Core, Edge and Access Network Proactive Fault Detection & Fast Resolution - Expert System, Network Expertise to automatically analyze Network behavior. HLog QoS Telecom offers a unique solution to assist Carriers & Service Providers with their Legacy and next generation Network infrastructure like NFV/SDN. Solution overview Advisor SLA has been designed to optimize Ethernet & IP services, by reporting and notifying on: Network KPIs for Performance Monitoring: Latency & Jitter with sub 100μs resolution, Packet Loss, Packet Out of Order Packet Duplicate All KPIs are provided with One way, and/or Round Trip measurement The solution is a combination of Probes (Hardware & Software Probe) performing Active Test & Passive Analysis, deployed on the Ethernet & IP Network infrastructure; and one Central Management System, Advisor SLA, managing Probes and tests scenarios, collecting all QoS measurements, SLA Management, and generating dashboard and reports. In order to detect and check the root cause of specific network behaviour like Route Change, Fast Reroute, or Atomic Delay, H-Probes use the latest synchronization technology, IEEE 1588v2 (PTP) with Telecom profile, in combination with our Expert System «Path Anomalie». H-Probes deliver the best latency and jitter measurement on the market with sub 100μs Time Accuracy.
