SIMPLIFIED SERVICE MANAGEMENT
Service providers realize that the key to customer satisfaction and retention is ensuring network reliability and quickly resolving any issues that can impact quality or service. The Brocade 6910 simplifies service management by providing key service monitoring and management at the edge. It supports industry specifications, such as IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and ITU-T Y.1731 Service Framework, to allow fast, proactive monitoring of end-user services.
By leveraging these service monitoring and management features, service providers can identify connectivity and performance issues, and isolate the problem from a remote location, avoiding costly dispatch to the onsite location. In addition, the Brocade 6910 enables service providers to monitor service availability, delay, and jitter to verify SLA conformance. It also helps support non-stop networking by providing proactive notification of performance degradation before a service outage occurs.
