Today at Cisco Live, Cisco’s annual IT and communications conference, Netrounds, the leading provider of software-based active testing, monitoring, and automated assurance solutions for communications service providers, announced that a Tier 1 operator in Japan has selected Netrounds to proactively monitor its critical network infrastructure and improve the quality of experience for its customers.  

The solution, Cisco Orchestrated Assurance powered by Netrounds, is comprised of Cisco’s Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) and the Netrounds active testing and monitoring platform.

  • Automated and comprehensive remote troubleshooting when SLA violations are experienced
  • Alarming for proactive problem resolution to decrease mean time to repair and to improve customer satisfaction of delivered service quality
  • Scalable software solutions that can grow and adapt with evolving services and network needs 
  • Comprehensive reporting for service activation tests and troubleshooting scenarios
