Cool Vendor in Communications Service Provider Network Operations 2019
Gartner’s report recognises: “that for Communications service providers’ digital transformation requires network virtualisation, programmability, scale and automation. CSPs must select suppliers that offer such solutions and use open-source/vendor-agnostic components in order to improve network agility, performance and efficiencies.”
One of the key findings about the four vendors in this report is that “these vendors provide network- and vendor-agnostic solutions that CSPs can use to gain network-related insights, modernise their operations and automate to enhance operations efficiency.
Gartner also recommends that CSPs “verify that the solution is truly network- and vendor-agnostic by conducting proofs of concept.”
What we think are Zeetta Networks’ ‘cool’ credentials
Zeetta Networks has leveraged its open-source NetOS to monitor, manage and automate networks to simplify network operations. In turn this enables new business models and revenue opportunities for CSPs.
Zeetta Networks provides ‘intent-based networking’ which uses the customer’s intentions to drive network design which is delivered through creating virtualised, programmable sub-networks or slices. This means complex multi-vendor, multi-technology enterprise, campus and service provider networks can deliver highly customised connectivity which in turn enables new business models.
Vassilis Seferidis, CEO of Zeetta Networks, said:
“We consider it a great honour to be named a Cool Vendor by Gartner in their May 2019 Cool Vendor report. We feel that to successfully transform a business digitally requires solutions to manage these complex, heterogeneous enterprise, campus and service provider networks if they are to realise the benefits.”
“Modern networks are in desperate need of improved efficiency and simplification. Our network orchestration tools make this happen” he added.
