Operational overhead becomes a huge burden!
Manual
• Configure one device at a time • Keeps network experts unavailable • Time consuming & Expensive • Not scalable and hard to maintain • Lack of Automation
Vendor Specific EMS/NMS
• Vendor lock-in • Rolling out new service type: 6+ months • Expensive for new features • No cross-vendor provisioning • Complex network migration processes

Avoid Technology/Vendor Lock-In to Protect Your Investments
Net-ACE allows easy integration and network automation with customers’ self-service portals, 3rd-party web-applications and OSS/BSS solutions via REST,
CORBA or XML APIs and has no hard-coded parameters for the rollout of new device types and new services.
Realize immediate ROI through a low-risk approach
Net-ACE can run side-by-side with the existing EMS/NMS solutions or replace them if needed.
Calculated ROI: ~6 months
Increase Revenue by Quicker Time-to-Market
By designing and deploying new services so much faster, time-to-market is reduced from weeks or months to a few hours. New device types
previously unknown to the system are rolled out in 15 minutes via configurable MIB polling policies and rules. Moreover, automated services
of predefined custom-designed service templates are provisioned via Net-ACE GUI or RESTful API to maximize network agility and programmability.
Lower OpEx and CapEx
Net-ACE dramatically improves cost structure through complete vendor independency and automation of key processes of purpose-built multi-vendor
networks based on customized hardware and silicon via full REST API to unify traditional network management and open, SDN-style network programmability and
Service Lifecycle Orchestration.
Reduce the overall complexity of the network
Net-ACE eliminates operational silos by unifying all management functions across end-to-end, multi-vendor and multi-layer networks into
a single pane-of-glass platform.
