VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ:VIAV) has unveiled a platform designed to automatically deliver real-time test and measurement data from network instruments directly to software-based planning, provisioning, assurance and optimization applications. The company's new NITRO platform is designed to work across mobile, fiber, cable, cloud and enterprise networks, and also to leverage currently deployed VIAVI instruments and software.
NITRO - the Network Integrated Test, Real-time analytics and Optimization technology platform - is intended to create an end-to-end view of the network lifecycle. The first solution in the new family is NITRO vNet Fusion, a virtual Ethernet lifecycle management solution for test, service activation, performance monitoring and troubleshooting on all network layers. NITRO will be the foundation for four solution sets:
- NITRO vNet - Virtual Service Activation and Performance
- NITRO Enterprise - Enterprise and Cloud Network Performance
- NITRO Mobile - Mobile Intelligence, Assurance and Optimization
- NITRO TechFlow - Automated Technician Workflow
"NITRO leverages intelligence gathered throughout the entire network and across the service lifecycle to overcome the increasingly complex challenges presented by evolving physical, virtualized and hybrid networks," said Paul McNab, chief marketing and strategy officer, VIAVI Solutions. "With a common platform that introduces greater automation, real-time analytics and virtualization, NITRO enables service providers and enterprises to reduce complexity and manual intervention while maximizing the value they gain from the broad line of scalable VIAVI test and measurement instruments and software, including their current VIAVI installed base."
