CENX Receives Multi-Million Dollar Order from Tier 1 Service Provider

Ottawa, Ontario (ots/PRNewswire) -

Just-In-Time Capacity Management Aligns Network Upgrades with User
Demand

CENX [http://cenx.com ], a global leader of Service Orchestration
solutions for software-defined networks, today announced that it has
received a new multi-million dollar order from a Tier 1 North
American service provider. The customer [http://www.cenx.com/about/n
ews/cenx-secures-muti-million-dollar-order-12-10-2013.html ] is
extending their Cortx Service Orchestrator deployment to rollout
Just-In-Time Capacity Management
[http://www.cenx.com/solutions/just-in-time-capacity-management.html
] throughout their mobile backhaul network, to gain significant
upgrade savings.

"This new customer order is a testament to the tremendous value
that Cortx Service Orchestrator brings to service provider networks,"
said Ed Ogonek, President and CEO of CENX. "We work closely with our
customers to deliver on their requirements to gain operational
efficiency and increase service agility through programmability."

Cortx Service Orchestrator is a flexible software product that
automates services lifecycle management for a broad set of use cases.
The Just-In-Time Capacity Management
[http://www.cenx.com/solutions/just-in-time-capacity-management.html
] solution applies sophisticated algorithms to network big data, to
forecast capacity upgrades when and where they are needed to meet
user quality expectations, and automates the upgrade process,
just-in-time. This approach delivers substantial benefits to service
providers:

- Reduced capex -accurately forecast timing of capex investment by aligning
user demand and network utilization, and deploying additional network capacity when
required
- Reduced opex -reduce the cost per upgrade by automating time-consuming manual
processes, based on user-defined upgrade policies which control when upgrades are
triggered
- High user quality of experience-provide performance-assured network
connectivity services by engineering network capacity to effectively deliver services
end-to-end
- Increased service agility -minimize service turn-up time with automated
ordering and provisioning of network elements and turn-up testing

Caroline Chappell, Senior Analyst at Heavy Reading, states in her
whitepaper, "Aligning User Experience & Cost in Mobile Networks
Through Just-In-Time Capacity Management" [http://info.cenx.com/alig
ning-user-experience-cost-in-mobile-networks-through-just-in-time-cap
acity-management ] , "This approach further complements the goals of
SDN, which advocates the centralized and automated management of the
network for improved operational efficiency. Again, the capabilities
needed for JIT capacity upgrades, such as network topology knowledge
and abstraction and the flow-through provisioning of network
resources, are key goals of SDN."

CENX is demonstrating its Cortx Service Orchestrator capabilities
at SDN & OpenFlow World Congress [http://www.layer123.com/sdn ],
October 14-17th and at MEF GEN14 [http://www.gen14.com ], November
17-20th.
