BARCELONA – Canadian network test and monitoring technology maker EXFO is teaming up with Scandinavian mobile operator Telenor Denmark in a DevOps program that will deploy EXFO’s automated common cause analysis troubleshooting solution alongside its network monitoring systems.
According to the announcement this week from the Mobile World Congress, the goal is to link network performance with network topology to increase the efficiency of Telenor’s service operations center and dramatically speed up the detection, diagnosis and troubleshooting of problems that impact subscribers. Automated common cause analysis is part of EXFO’s strategy for the integration of test, monitoring and analytics into a single platform.
"Operational automation, especially within the root-cause analysis process, is business critical,” said Abdelkrim Benamar, EXFO’s service assurance, systems and services VP, in the release. “EXFO’s mission is to help our customers achieve greater efficiency within highly dynamic and virtualized network infrastructures. We are very proud to support Telenor with their network’s transformation.”
As part of its digital transformation, Telenor is undertaking wide-scale improvements to its operational infrastructure, with phase one centred on the deployment of an automated, end-to-end, troubleshooting system. EXFO’s solution in conjunction with Telenor’s unified fault and performance management system will operate in near real-time to speed up and improve data analysis in order to identify and flag the causes of severe service disruptions that impact multiple customers, without any human intervention.
