COMMUNICATIONS NEWS New ILOG JTGO 3.0 The communications industry is preparing to unleash the next generation of technologies and services, and ILOG is contributing with ILOG JTGO 3.0. The newest version of the Java component that has captured the attention of the industry with its outstanding graphics and rapid development, ILOG JTGO 3.0 enables the quick deployment of cutting-edge, flexible and integrated quality of service (QoS) interfaces for the coming generation of operations support systems (OSSs).
ILOG JTGO offers the best QoS picture by providing a complete set of functions for displaying and navigating any OSS data:
Parc Technologies has selected ILOG CPLEX as a component for the company's new product for optimizing the placement of Fast Re-Route backup tunnels in a multiprotocol label-switching (MPLS) network. Co-developed with a leading network solution vendor, Parc's new product automatically solves a problem that has long hindered MPLS deployment. Setting the product apart is its ability to automatically calculate and position backup tunnels in MPLS networks to fulfill bandwidth guarantees and keep propagation delays within acceptable limits in the event of an element failure. Parc relies on ILOG CPLEX, the industry's top linear programming software component, as a component of the hybrid algorithm developed to solve this problem. "Parc is committed to delivering innovative, technologically advanced solutions to our customers," says Gideon Agar, CEO of Parc Technologies. "ILOG offered us proven, market-leading components, complementing our own technology and decreasing our time to market."
Lightscape Standardizes Lightscape Networks has selected ILOG JTGO for the eNM network management platform, bringing to 26 the number of optical network vendors that have standardized their graphical user interfaces with ILOG JTGO. With more than a decade of experience in the optical networking field, Lightscape counts many major worldwide carriers among its customers. They include Deutsche Telekom, D2 Vodafone, NTL, China Telecom, Global One, and Cable & Wireless. The company concentrates on the metropolitan market, which in North America was expected to reach $9.7 billion in 2001, according to industry analyst RHK. "ILOG JTGO will help eNM support very large and complex networks," explains Ido Gur, vice president of product management at Lightscape. "It also lets us stratify the management view, with layers for equipment, transportation and optical lines. Users will be able to easily manage both traffic and equipment in their networks." The user interface is a key component of eNM, enabling operators to fully control Lightscape's network equipment and gain a complete view of optical network activities at a glance. Lightscape's platform is based on the company's "Build As You Grow" concept, which results in integrated platforms that consolidate multiple network elements and systems.
TTI Telecom International Ltd. and ILOG have formed an agreement to co-develop a service assurance platform for carriers. To be part of TTI's Netrac product line, the new platform will be based on the new ILOG JTGO 3.0 software component for developing graphical interfaces for operations support systems (OSSs), and sold by TTI under an ISV arrangement. Sharing research and development, ILOG and TTI will create the platform, equipping it with an automated system for building graphical interfaces based on business models and data. The resulting product will require almost no coding from the user, and provide a highly intuitive look and feel for managing communications resources, including network hardware equipment. TTI and ILOG are applying the new features in ILOG JTGO 3.0 to develop the new TTI Netrac platform for comprehensive, real-time monitoring of service levels.
