Intraway, a leading provider of lifecycle service orchestration, customer experience and network management solutions, has joined Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) to contribute to the acceleration of the worldwide adoption of carrier class ethernet networks and services.
Founded in 2001, the Metro Ethernet Forum is a nonprofit international industry consortium, dedicated to adoption of Carrier Ethernet networks and services. The forum is composed of service providers, incumbent local exchange carriers, network equipment vendors, and other networking companies that share an interest in Metro Ethernet.
MEF facilitates industry-neutral implementation environments for service orchestration (OpenLSO) and L2-L7 connectivity services (OpenCS) based on Open Source, SDN and NFV, as well as current commercial PNF products.
Intraway which helps improve communications service providers’ profitability, time to market and customer experience, will be joining MEF’s CSP and MSO community. The company claims that it is managing over 55 million devices deployed in 22 countries over 3 continents.
Steve March, CTO, Intrway
Their member community of both service providers and vendors is a great environment for us to contribute to and participate in. We especially like the alignment between the TM Forum and MEF, and we’re already adapting some of MEF 55’s functionality into Intraway’s Symphonica orchestration solution.
