Navigator Multi-Layer Controller
Coordinated multi-layer operations
Network architectures are evolving to meet ever-growing performance, scalability, and sustainability requirements. IP and optical networks are converging. Network operations teams need a simpler and quicker way to coordinate workflows across multi-layer, multi-vendor infrastructure to navigate the journey. Navigator Multi-Layer Controller (Navigator MC) provides the needed comprehensive network visibility and software control, eliminating manual handoffs between multiple systems. Coordinated lifecycle network operations within a single software system. That’s efficiency.
