Spirent and Sheer Networks Collaborate on Network Management Solutions

Spirent Communications and Sheer Networks announced a strategic agreement under which the companies will deliver an integrated solution for managing ATM, DSL and IP-VPN services. The solution will combine Sheer's BOS (Broadband Operating Supervisor) with Spirent's Perform operations support system (OSS) for performance management. Sheer's BOS (Broadband Operating Supervisor) manages communication between network elements and enables service providers to activate new services, detect faults, and reconcile inventories. Spirent's Perform reaches across multi-service and multi-vendor networks, and automates the critical functions that detect, isolate and remediate issues such as alarms and service level maintenance that arise within those networks.
