RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. & PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Overture, the preferred Carrier Ethernet edge and aggregation partner for service providers and network operators worldwide, and Cyan, a global provider of packet-optical transport solutions, today announced a strategic partnership. The two companies are working together to give service providers the best possible tools to plan, build, operate, and verify Carrier Ethernet networks.
“Service providers are asking for an integrated solution for the edge, aggregation, and metro networks that offers simple service management and visibility into the performance of the services they are delivering,” said Jeff Reedy, CEO, Overture. “Cyan offers an excellent management solution to plan, operate, and verify network operations along with a very strong packet-optical solution for business services and mobile backhaul. Overture and Cyan are committed to integrating all our products into Cyan 360 management suite to help service providers build and maintain world-class Carrier Ethernet networks.”
“The Overture-Cyan partnership is the optimal combination of software and Carrier Ethernet expertise,” said Michael Hatfield, president and CEO, Cyan. “This collaboration brings solutions to the market that will fundamentally simplify end-to-end Carrier Ethernet networks.”
The relationship developed through a number of successful customer engagements where the two companies delivered proven interoperability for G.8032 Ethernet protection switching and MEF E-Line and E-LAN services. That led to the integration of the Overture 4200, 4300, 24 and 26 edge devices into Cyan’s CyPlan, CyMS, and CyPortal – which comprise the world-class Cyan 360 solution. The two companies are actively working to integrate additional Overture solutions into the Cyan 360 management suite.
