InfoVista Announces Qualification for Huawei Router

InfoVista has announced qualification of the Quidway NE80E, a router from Huawei (News - Alert). This latest qualification is expected to give InfoVista a “significant competitive differentiator and market advantage.”

Manuel Stopnicki, CTO at InfoVista, claimed that his company’s ability to qualify the NE80E for the customer’s specific needs and standard requirements demonstrates their “superior technology and depth of knowledge in the service assurance market.”

The Company’s channel partner, ISPM, had come to InfoVista with a request from Oi – a South American service provider, for qualification of the NE80E device from Huawei.

InfoVista provided the collection and analysis of packet delay, jitter loss parameters, Central Processing Unit (CPU

) and memory efficiency, the qualifications essential for Huawei to provide “carrier class Service Level Agreements (SLA) to its customers.”

In collaboration with Huawei, the company established a team to complete testing before the set deadline in January. And, according to the company, in two weeks’ time, was able to work together to qualify the device on the InfoVista platform.

Company officials explained that the qualification has proven the Huawei NE80E device can fully satisfy its customer requirements with jitter

, latency and packet loss criterion.

Additionally, the qualification establishes InfoVista as the “first and only performance management vendor to qualify this device.”

“This successful qualification is also a testament to our ability to work seamlessly with our hardware partners to help them qualify their key devices for production, while simultaneously positioning us as the first performance management vendor to do so,” stated Stopnicki.

Peter He, director for broadband and IP network management at Huawei, pointed out that NE80E plays a critical role, acting as the SLA monitoring agent in Oi’s NGN

network, a complex, global network that spans China, Brazil, France, Mexico and the U.S.

InfoVista offers solutions for proactive service assurance. Reportedly, eighty percent of world’s service providers and more than 30 of the top 100 global corporations rely on InfoVista’s solutions for Proactive Service Assurance to foresee potential service issues.
