Active Broadband Networks has introduced Active Resource Controller (ARC), a subscriber, service and application aware, telemetry-driven SDN controller for the broadband service edge. The ARC incorporates SDN protocols for dynamic control of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) infrastructure, IP flow telemetry data for visibility into network, service, subscriber and application usage, and Big Data technology for managing the vast amounts of data required for service personalization.
The SDN controller that is based on Active Resource Manager platform, makes it easy to design graphical dashboards, generate interactive reports and create visualizations that allow operators to closely monitor network operations, better understand subscriber behavior, and track service and application usage trends. The ARC is also bundled with a tool that provides a familiar interface for performing low-latency SQL queries on noSQL Big Data databases.
“Network operators are seeking simpler and less costly ways to gain visibility into service and application usage at the broadband service edge. The Active Resource Controller is a software-based platform that leverages high-performance, in-line mediation, Big Data, and IP flow telemetry to enable operators to transform subscriber intelligence into real-time service control without having to employ deep packet inspection."
