VPIsystems launches ‘OnePlan’

VPIsystems, the provider of network resource planning software and services for the global telecommunications industry, has released its new ‘OnePlan’ disaster planning solution for communications service providers, giving them the ability to effectively analyze the risk to their core networks from disasters and plan and design the appropriate corrective actions to mitigate that risk.

The OnePlan solution enables service providers to not only evaluate the impact of network failures, but also map these failures to bandwidth-hungry services like VoD, VoIP, and IPTV. It gives service providers the insight and analytical system needed to counter threats to their networks and the services riding on them by conducting two levels of analysis: current state and potential threat. The first level examines all network layers and their dependencies to ensure that network diversity on one layer isn't compromised by a common platform at another. It guides service providers as they determine the policies and protocols needed to meet their SLAs and other requirements. Finally, it determines where additional resources are needed to provide the redundancy necessary to support those requirements. A second level of analysis involves ‘what if’ scenarios across a range of disaster, network and temporal conditions. OnePlan Disaster Planning allows service providers to explore various scenarios and the impact they would have on customers, enabling them to prioritize network enhancements based on the likelihood of disaster and the level of customer impacted. In addition, it enables service providers to create multi-year plans for staged phases of disaster preparedness.
