Off-Net Service Monitoring

Monitoring
CENX provides the industry’s first deployment of off-net service-level monitoring for Carrier Ethernet services. This new capability yields compelling cost, time and quality of service advantages for service providers interconnecting via a CENX exchange.
Instead of running blind or deploying expensieve customer premises equipment, a service provider needing to reach Ethernet Service Locations, can now actively monitor the key attributes of each Operator Virtual Connection (OVC) when that connection is made via a CENX exchange. Monitoring is from the CENX Exchange to off-net Ethernet Service Locations – now without needing costly customer premises equipment.		 A unique Partnership
Monitoring
The new monitoring service is a result of a partnership between CENX and EXFO, a leading provider of test and service assurance solutions for network operators. For further information visit the EXFO Partners page
CENX's new integrated solution enables constant, normalized measurement of the performance of each service against its SLA criteria, rapid response to issues and higher quality service for the ultimate end-user. The measurements are gathered centrally and processed to provide both real-time notification and historical SLA reports. Buyers and Sellers of an OVC in question can securely access this information in a normalized form (i.e. consistent across the different sellers) either via the CENX Market web application or via open APIs directly into their Operational Support Systems (OSS).
