Avici sales and services offices in Boston, Dallas, Denver, San Jose and Reston, Va., will be able to recruit IBM Global Services for technical assistance, card swaps and in-field diagnostics, according to Pete Chadwick, Avici vice president of product management. The software will be available early next year, Chadwick says. The Avici EMS will be designed to integrate with carrier OSSes and dynamically provision new services across optical networks, Chadwick says. Avici management functions consist of TSR configurations through a command line interface and SNMP device status monitoring. These will be combined with Dorado's Oware development framework and RedCell application suite to provide a graphical system for subscriber management, service provisioning and assurance, as well as performance, security and topology management.
Service provisioning and rolling out new products is one of their top technical challenges.
