Closed-loop automation is the ultimate approach to lowering network operations costs. Lumina's extension and adaption platform, running on OpenDaylight, is used to normalize telemetry data triggering control actions or optimizations automatically.
Use Cases:When evolving your BGP/MPLS network to next generation white boxes or virtual networking functions, you need the ability to choose the best option without the constraints of vendor lock-in. Lumina provides an open-source based platform, powered by OpenDaylight™, and applications that provide more flexibility using powerful YANG-based abstraction models, that empower you to choose the system that best-suited to your application.
SD-Core delivers ground-breaking asset utilization by adding a layer of intelligence to your network empowered by application requirements instead of hardcoded provisioning. Not only will the application be managed with maximum efficiency, this SD-Core provides a common platform to simplify management.
Use Cases:Containers vastly improve application agility for IT departments, however they require fine-grained network control more than ever. Lumina's ability to dynamically control and monitor overlay and underlay networks simultaneously is critical for cloud-native application performance.
Unique to Lumina Networks, container networking is enabled brownfield environments so our customers can maximize efficiency and agility as they transform.
Use Cases:To compete, service providers need to be able to turn on new services quickly with a minimum number of actions. Lumina's ability to provide VNF and PNF abstraction for service orchestrators take the complexity out of the equation, making network intent a one-step process.
By focusing your networking solution on intent, you improve efficiencies by using the end goal to build the path instead of pre-arranged policy.
Use Cases:To realize the power of 5G, applications need to move to distributed data centers. Lumina's network management tools help configure the physical and virtual network so that applications can move to the network edge, close to the mobile users that need them.
With 5G enabled services which are contextually-aware, personalized and on-demand, the value of application placement will continue to increase. By moving the application closer to the user, you will mediate network traffic and see improved network performance while your customer enjoys an unparalleled customer experience.
Use Cases:Quality of Service control is critical to the operation of multi-media networks over Packet Cable and DOCSIS for Multi-System Operations. Lumina's SDN Control, Powered by OpenDaylight™ is also popular with MSOs, allowing the deployment of next generation content and mobility services for cable subscribers.
Enabling and centrally controlling QoS for PacketCable services gives you a valuable new source of revenue and stickiness by offering voice, and leverages QoS capabilities within your existing equipment to provide new services without expensive forklifts.
Use Cases:Half of the challenge in maintaining network service integrity is collecting, monitoring and analyzing operational data via telemetry. Lumina's unique open-source based logging and normalization tools allow providers to track and respond to network conditions, even in the most complex and telemetry data-intensive environments.
Service assurance through operational integrity is essential for customer satisfaction and thus retention. Failure to put in place a high-performance telemetry and analytics toolset could cost your company millions in broken SLAs and dissatisfied customers.
