It reduces operational expense and improves service performance in five key areas:
- Planning
- Activation
- Monitoring
- Troubleshooting
- Maintenance
Pro‐Vision offers the tools to enable Lifecycle Service Orchestration. It has an open northbound interface so it can send data to and receive instructions from existing and upcoming OSS/BSS systems. This is critical as abstracted service models are used to reduce management time and resources in service provider networks, MRV asserts. Additionally, Pro‐Vision introduces an optical channel monitoring capability that works in concert with a dedicated module that is part of MRV's optical transport portfolio and can automatically monitor up to eight 40‐ or 80‐channel DWDM trunks per module.
Judge's comment: "Excellent software solution that efficiently and effectively addresses a multitude of operator concerns."
