VIAVI vNet Fusion addresses the challenges of managing a new virtual or hybrid network with software-based lifecycle management for test, service activation, performance monitoring and troubleshooting on all network layers. Fusion provides network operators with a reliable set of standards-based network test tools that deliver accurate test results. With Fusion, operators can add virtual test and performance monitoring probes to their network whenever and wherever required while at the same time integrating existing VIAVI test sets and hardware test probes to help carriers manage a network that is a blend of traditional and virtual technology.

Judge's Comment: "Currently it is a swivel chair operation to provision and test existing circuits. Incorporating vNet Fusion would permit a quick analysis from a single application for any circuit type. The ability to perform a single-ended provisioning is a plus and the ability to leverage a two-way test using a testing protocol are two extra advantages."
