Blue Planet Portfolio
Accelerating digital transformation with service lifecycle automation
Network operators are digitally transforming and evolving the way their businesses operate. The objectives are to improve the customer experience, reduce operational costs, and increase network and service agility, ultimately reducing the time it takes to create and deliver a new generation of on-demand digital services. This transformation involves breaking away from legacy customized OSS solutions by virtualizing networks, and embracing open standard APIs to intelligently automate the services lifecycle.
The Blue Planet intelligent automation portfolio provides the key software components network operators need to streamline and digitize the entire service delivery lifecycle—from design to activation and assurance. The open and modular Blue Planet product family includes dynamic inventory, service order management, multi-domain service orchestration, unified assurance and analytics, and more. At the same time, all Blue Planet products are cloud-native and vendor-agnostic, ensuring that they interoperate seamlessly with other vendors’ products, and are easy to integrate—without requiring extensive customization



Products
Unified, accurate, end-to-end view of network and services
Blue Planet Inventory (BPI) provides a unified, accurate, end-to-end view of network and services resources. BPI federates operational data from multiple existing systems, synchronizing it with real-time data from the multi-vendor network, and creating a single ‘source of truth’ that accurately reflects the current state of the network. This enables a pragmatic approach to simplifying and automating key operational processes.
Real-time service order automation and visibility
Blue Planet Service Order Management (SOM) uses advanced catalog-driven fulfillment to provide rapid service activation and the efficient adoption of new services and technologies. With support for TM Forum Open APIs and standardized workflow modeling, Blue Planet SOM helps network operators dramatically reduce OPEX and order fallout by eliminating hundreds of tedious, manual, and error-prone task.
End-to-end service automation and orchestration across multiple physical and virtual technology domains
Blue Planet Multi-Domain Service Orchestration (MDSO) simplifies the end-to-end orchestration of services across multiple physical and virtual technology domains. Leveraging model-driven abstraction and open APIs, it streamlines and automates end-to-end services delivery across any mix of vendors and network layers to improve end-to-end control, increase service velocity, and reduce costs.
Real-time IP/MPLS network visibility to assure and optimize performance of critical services
The Blue Planet Route Optimization and Analysis (ROA) products uniquely combines routing, traffic, and performance analytics for real-time, path-aware operational monitoring, and back-in-time forensics to troubleshoot problems that can cause service disruptions. Interactive modeling helps engineers optimize their networks by helping to predict the impact of changes, simulate new workloads for capacity planning, and test failure scenarios.
Advanced assurance and analytics products based on big data and machine-learning innovations
Blue Planet Unified Assurance and Analytics (UAA) harnesses the power of advanced analytics and AI to provide real-time network and services assurance. It unifies and correlates alarms, faults, events, and performance data from the entire network to accurately detect potential issues, and works with software-defined automation systems to pre-emptively resolve them.
