Enterprise Networking Magazine Feature by LightRiver COO Discusses the Bridge Between the Network and Customer
Operators are consistently striving to improve network flexibility, stability and performance while reducing operational costs and service delays. However, there are many disparate and complex network technologies that take place across multiple generations offered by diverse equipment vendors. This begs the question of how operators will abstract and simplify all of the complexity? LightRiver Chief Operating Officer, Travis Ewert, discusses this and more in this latest Enterprise Networking Magazine article.
“The broader LightRiver staff has tremendous operations and engineering experience in the business and technology of deploying and managing advanced transport networks,” says Ewert.. “We are involved with the end-to-end process of architecture and technology selection, advanced engineering, building these solutions within our labs,live deployments within the field, and technology lifecycle thereafter. This customer oversight, when coupled with our deep understanding of our partner technologies, gives us a very unique understanding that can be applied to our network automation development. Automation must account for ‘what happens in the real world’ and not just that which is certified against a captive lab instance.”
