Solutions : Wireline : IP VPN

Communications service providers (CSPs) have built vast IP networks in order to deliver "next gen" services for consumers and enterprise customers, and IP VPNs are at the heart of these networking services. With numerous possible combinations for implementing tunnels, security and QoS for voice and video, it can be challenging to flexibly and accurately deploy VPN based services in a heterogeneous IP network environment. 

Intelliden provides Intelligent Networking solutions for IP VPNs to enable CSPs to deliver mission critical VPN based services through integrated configuration and change management, policy based compliance management, and dynamic resource provisioning.

CSPs face several challenges when providing VPN based services, including the ability to:

• Automate deployment of devices and operating systems with standard IP VPN, configurations and service specific parameters
• Leverage existing network infrastructure and support dynamic changes by adding classes and QoS capabilities
• Automate customer self-provisioning and customization of IPSec, MPLS, and dynamic user VPNs
• Overcome IP operational changes of delivering VPNs for converged video, voice and data over a single network
• Fulfill stringent enterprise SLA requirements of enterprise and managed services customers

Intelliden's Intelligent Networking Solutions for IP VPN enable CSPs to control, manage, and scale IP VPN infrastructure and VPN based services. The Intelliden solutions have been designed to support reliability, scalability and security requirements complex IP VPN services. Built upon an open architecture, the Intelliden solutions can be easily integrated with other OSS applications such as service fulfillment and customer self-service portals.

Intelliden's Intelligent Networking Solutions for IP VPN consist of the following applications:

• Dynamic Resource Provisioning supports the complete VPN network activation process from the initial element and tunnel configuration, resource availability checks, to on-going dynamic resource allocation and exception handling. It also easily integrates to 3^rd party service fulfillment applications for flow through provisioning.
• Network Change and Configuration Management automates configuration changes to heterogeneous network elements - including site to site configuration– based on the real-time state of the devices thereby preventing errors and service outages. It also integrates with 3^rd party service assurance applications for faster fault identification and resolution.
• Policy Based Compliance Management provides a single application for managing comprehensive network policies (e.g. regulatory, industry, security and operational), continually validating all network configuration changes against these policies, intelligently resolving any non-compliant conditions and preventing costly policy and service outages.

Intelliden's Intelligent Networking Solutions for IP VPN provide the following benefits

• Flexibly deliver multiple protocols for IP VPN through extensive multi-vendor support
• Maximize existing heterogeneous network devices to effectively deliver IP VPN
• Manage multiple levels of QoS from a single platform
• Automate flow-through IP VPN activation and in-service changes through open APIs
• Support carrier-grade scalability, reliability and performance requirements
