Pro‐Vision enables the complete provisioning, management, troubleshooting, and reporting of packet and optical services. Lifecycle orchestration of MEF CE2.0 and optical transport services is streamlined and automated with intuitive GUI‐based screens that accelerate service creation, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Pro‐Vision, combined with MRV's OptiDriver, OptiPacket, and OptiSwitch product lines, enables complete control of optical transport and packet services for innovative, next‐generation access networks and services.

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.
