Atrica, a provider of Optical Ethernet equipment for the rapidly expanding Metro networking market, and Controlware Communications Systems, one of Europe's largest and most experienced Systems Integrators, announced a strategic partnership.
Under the terms of the agreement, which combines the strength of Attica's Optical Ethernet Systems with Controlware's world-class reputation and global presence, Controlware will provide local
Systems Integration services to Metro carders as they deploy Atrica's proven solutions.
In addition to supporting joint customers as they deploy Atrica's Carrier-class solutions, the two industry leaders will work together to identify and pursue joint Metro networking opportunities in Europe. Demonstrating increasing market support for utilizing Ethernet to solve metro carriers' business and technical challenges, this agreement represents Controlware's entry into the Optical Ethernet marketplace. Working with Atrica, Controlware will leverage its comprehensive knowledge of local markets to provide fulfillment and delivery services as well as second level support to Metro carriers as they build-out, expand, and/or upgrade their telecommunications infrastructures with Optical Ethernet technology.
The first solutions purpose-built for next generation Metro networks, Attica's Optical Ethernet Systems meld Ethernet with optical switching and networking technology and combine this with Carrier-class traffic engineering capabilities to enable carriers to dramatically simplify their Metro network operations, significantly reduce their capital and operational expenditures, and scale their networks to deliver advanced, profitable Ethernet-based services.Atrica's Optical Ethernet Systems were designed to supply significantly better price/ performance than SDH/SONET-based equipment, and to deliver Carrier-class attributes such as guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs), sub-50 millisecond resiliency, integration with circuit switched networks, Ethernet Circuit Emulation Services (CES) for support of TDM traffic, and point-and-click OAM&P.
