PROACTIVE NETWORK HEALTH SERVICES
Today’s Network Opera1ons organiza1ons are hard pressed to keep up with the demands of network growth, customer requests and base level event and alarm handling. As a result, network assurance teams are mostly reac1ve in nature, wai1ng-and-watching for something to break, swivel-chairing between disparate supplier management systems or associated direct interfaces (i.e CLI) and not ready to take on proac1ve network management.
LightRiver provides proac1ve monitoring of op1cal network health for companies that are not ready to invest in a network management system nor have the personnel required to proac1vely manage their cri1cal Op1cal Network infrastructure and customer services.
LightRiver WaveWatch provides the automa1on, advanced data & analy1cs and Op1cal Engineering personnel to take ac1on on these issues before they are service disrup1ng and/or reduce the impact of those impairments that are unavoidable.

As more proacXve issues can be resolved prior to a service interrupXon, the number of reacXve issues trend downward. This allows for controlled maintenance work that is meaningful, fewer outages, less overXme and be\er customer saXsfacXon.
Customers are billed based on the number of acXve Wavelength Carriers and/or Network Elements under monitoring and management by netFLEX at a compeXXve rate. Volume discounts will be applied to large networks with large amounts of wavelengths to proacXvely monitor.

netFLEX was architected for end-to-end network and service automaXon where realXme (discovered) inventory, acXonable analyXcs and control automaXon were built for SDN abstracXon to allow for uniform management of mulX-vendor and mulX-technology to make it ‘all look the same.’ This comprehensive OpXcal Domain Controller Framework supports full life-cycle service automaXon of legacy and nextgen transport networks. netFLEX supports a full complement of network-health-automaXon leveraging data/analyXcs to baseline performance and make it all ‘acXonable.’
• SDN: end-2-end network abstracXon
• MulX-Vendor SoluXon
• Network FLEXibility across every funcXonal area
• Programmability as defined by operator & customer
• Enablement of UI & API for seamless digital experience
