Leader in intelligent access, Calix has said its AXOS
Sandbox, a virtual environment that dramatically improves the economics of new services has made a debut,
reports ITRealms.
The Sandbox, Calix vice president of product line leadership,
Shane Eleniak, said eliminates the need for physical systems in service
provider labs.
“With AXOS Sandbox, service
providers can speed up service
delivery by reducing the time needed for lab testing, BSS and OSS integration work,and software certification by deploying
virtual instances of Calix AXOS
systems.
"AXOS Sandbox runs the actual production software
release of each Calix AXOS system making it the
world’s first true SDA,” Eleniak said in a press statement to
ITRealms.
In addition, Sandbox, the VP said, brings the promise of SDN
to the access network by enabling service providers to overcome traditional
logistical and operational challenges. By
using open standard interfaces NETCONF/YANG and OpenFlow, AXOS Sandbox quickly
and easily slides into existing service provider networks.
Service
providers, Elenaik said, face a multitude of operational challenges and additional expenses when introducing new technologies into
their networks today.
Eleniak explained that these challenges are magnified when service providers
have multiple labs spread across
various geographies, forcing them to manage hundreds oftechnicians installing,
testing, and managing thousands of systems. In
addition, due to the substantial
amount of hardware required, testing and validating the scalability of management,
orchestration, and control functions within a lab environment would be prohibitive.
Data centers and central offices, the VP noted, also bring
additional costs for rack space, powering, and cooling of the equipment. These challenges and costs are eliminated with AXOS Sandbox, which decouples IT/OSS integration from hardware
availability and gives
technicians access to countless virtual instances of AXOS systems allowing them to test scalability faster without the need for travel, scheduling, or physical
maintenance.
“Service
providers must find disruptive
ways to bring new services to market faster and
at much lower costs than ever
before or they will be run over
by their competition. AXOS
Sandbox is a breakthrough tool built to meet that challenge, with the
first-ever virtual instances of access systems enabling a DevOps environment to work in parallel across
multiple locations. AXOS Sandbox makes
SDA tangible and validates AXOS as the world’s
first and only true SDA. For any service provider looking to understand the
difference, Calix invites you to drop AXOS Sandbox into your lab and let
the race to new service introduction begin immediately,
across multiple locations and groups,” Elenaik said.
