The management of multiple back-end systems and infrastructure to support the roll out of more services on the mobile network has necessitated the use of integrated platforms that will enable Operators to manage their networks more efficiently and effectively. Nokia Solutions 
and Networks, with its NetAct 8, is virtualizing and modernizing its long-established Operations Support System (OSS) to make network operations simpler and nimbler. NSN NetAct 8 is a virtualized, single OSS for managing radio, core and transport networks. It provides off-the-shelf management of Network Function Virtualization, simplifying network operations and reducing operational expenses. NetAct 8’s single, end-to-end view of multi-technology, multi-domain and multi-vendor networks helps operators to run these networks more efficiently and with lower costs. Also new are an off-the-shelf integration of Customer Experience Management(CEM) and Service Quality Management(SQM) products as well as a Service Fulfillment Introduction Pack to help operators launch services in weeks instead of months.
“Operators need a simpler way to run ever-more sophisticated networks as technologies like LTE and small cells are added. In this latest version of our industry-leading NetAct, we’ve brought OSS into the cloud age, using automation and virtualization to cut running costs, add greater flexibility and ensure superior network quality. NetAct 8 covers network operations with tight link to service operations, eliminating the need for multiple management systems,” said Peter Patomella, VP OSS at NSN.
