For decades, communications service providers (CSPs) have used the same techniques and technologies to optimize networks and services. However, legacy assurance systems have become inadequate, resulting in complexity, high costs, and data overload. Modern networks are increasingly complex and dynamic, while customer expectations for faster, better, and more affordable services have risen. To meet these challenges, modern assurance solutions are essential, and we can help.
Blue Planet Assurance (BPA) consists of two modular product applications:
Unified Assurance and Analytics (UAA) and Route Optimization and Analysis (ROA).
Both products can be deployed individually or together on the Cloud Native Platform (CNP), a modern, consolidated operations support system (OSS), which also integrates the Blue Planet Inventory (BPI) and Orchestration (BPO) applications to automate the entire service lifecycle and simplify CSPs’ digital transformation.
End-to-end insights for NOC and SOC. Exceed customer expectation.
UAA is a versatile, vendor-agnostic software product using cutting-edge AI/ML technologies for end-to-end monitoring and advanced analytics. It offers unparalleled insights and automation capabilities, streamlining network and service assurance while paving the way for AIOps.
Path-aware observability and automation for IP/MPLS networks
ROA provides in-depth observability across IP/multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) networks and overlay services, including 5G network slices from the tower to the data center and unmatched temporal observability capabilities. Using ROA’s path computation and provisioning capabilities puts CSPs on the path to service automation, helping accelerate time to revenue, decreasing churn, and containing costs.
Features and benefits
Cloud native
Kubernetes-based BPA, BPO, and BPI applications run on the Blue Planet CNP, which provides shared functions and enables in-service software upgrades (ISSU). This improves operational efficiency, resilience, and scale while enabling flexible deployment in private and public clouds, with software as a service (SaaS) as an option.
AI-powered
Our BPA products and the entire Blue Planet Intelligent Automation Portfolio harness AI, ML, and analytics to help CSPs accelerate the shift to AI-driven operations.
Productized and customizable
Our fully productized BPA suite has a committed feature roadmap and release schedule—and CSPs and their system integration partners can easily customize it using an advanced Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
Open, standards-based approach
BPA provides easy integration to external environments and systems without engaging software development or professional services, supporting open APIs to ensure interoperability and enable best-of-breed ecosystems.
Simplifying AI/ML workflows for efficient model deployment and management
Blue Planet’s AI Studio, part of the CNP, provides CSPs with the flexibility to bring their own AI models and manage them across a centralized platform in an open execution environment. AI Studio ensures interoperability, visibility, and control and future-proofs operations by allowing seamless integration of new AI capabilities. AI Studio’s “bring your own AI” (BYOAI) license enables authorized users to host, deploy, configure, and manage third-party AI/ML models within the same execution environment.
