CENX Teams With Spirent to Demonstrate VoLTE Service Orchestration Over Virtualized Infrastructure
OTTAWA, Ontario, February 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Cortx Service Orchestrator Provides a Single Pane of Glass into Next-Gen
Network Operations
CENX [http://cenx.com ], a global leader of Service Orchestration solutions for
software-defined networks, today announced that, together with Spirent
[http://www.spirent.com ], it has successfully demonstrated orchestration of Voice over
Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) services over virtualized network infrastructure. With CENX's
Cortx Service Orchestrator [http://www.cenx.com/cortx-service-orchestrator/index.html ],
service providers have a single pane of glass for visualization of their service topology,
network utilization and performance metrics, so they can assure a high quality of service.
Spirent Landslide(TM) [http://www.spirent.com/Ethernet_Testing/Software/Landslide ]
enables end-to-end testing of the mobile network, including sophisticated voice Perceptual
Objective Listening Quality Assessment (POLQA) measurements.
VoLTE deployments are still in their infancy, with only 14 operators in 7 countries

worldwide
having launched commercial service. Service providers are also leveraging Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) technology to build out their VoLTE infrastructure most
cost-effectively. It is critical that operators have the tools to manage service
performance across both physical and virtual network elements, so that early adopter
consumers enjoy an exceptional quality of experience.
"This demonstration proves that, with the right tools in hand, management of complex
network transformations doesn't itself have to be complex," said Chris Purdy, CTO of CENX.
"Cortx Service Orchestrator is able to provide a unified view of the mobile network from
an end-to-end VoLTE services perspective, across both physical and virtual elements. This
is a landmark first in the industry."
"The virtualization of mobile network functions provides flexibility and agility, but
without predictability and visibility networks can quickly become very chaotic and impact
the user experience," stated Ross Cassan, Director of Marketing - Mobile Infrastructure of
Spirent. "Spirent Landslide(TM) enables the constant validation of the impact that changes
in user behaviour have on the network, and that changes in the network have on the user
experience. The demonstration provides a best-practice example of the predictability and
visibility toolset needed to trust key services like VoLTE to virtual elements."
Key features of this ground-breaking proof of concept include:
- Spirent Landslide(TM) provides the comprehensive Mobile Packet Core (MPC)
network test environment, emulating real-world control and data traffic load through a
virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC), and calculating response times, throughput and
real-time POLQA voice quality measurements.
- Cortx Service Orchestrator ingests these metrics, and performs big data
correlation and analytics. Using intuitive search capabilities, operations personnel
can quickly access the relevant data, analyze the voice quality performance in the
context of the service topology, and drill down into details as needed.
- In the event of degraded performance due to severe VoLTE traffic load, the
user is able to sectionalize the issues between the physical and virtual domains, and
take corrective action which could involve dynamically scaling the vEPC functions.
