Fujitsu Advances Open ROADM Innovation with Industry’s First Network Design and Planning Tool
Summary
As service providers strive for greater accuracy, cost efficiency and scalability — particularly with regard to critical communications infrastructure that is now more important than ever — they need advanced tools that ensure interoperability and peak performance. Virtuora PD accesses a set of common network characteristics from multiple vendors’ equipment to align with service provider business processes. “As a contributing member of the Open ROADM Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), Fujitsu is committed to the core principles of multi-vendor, software-enabled Open ROADM ecosystems,” said Francois Lafontaine, vice president and head of the software business at Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. “Virtuora PD is a key component in enabling open networks, helping providers overcome the disadvantages of proprietary architectures.” Fujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company, offering a full range of technology products, solutions, and services.
