Scalable, virtualized solutions providing comprehensive network intelligence and visibility
The video service assurance (VSA) platform is a highly cost-effective, scalable solution for IP and cable TV that gives visibility at every strategic and critical network location. It combines video assurance monitoring software with commercially available, off-the-shelf hardware to create easily deployable points of presence in headends, networks, and end-user devices. The platform addresses the most demanding assurance and analytics applications requirements. Its’ extremely efficient data collection, state-of-the-art flow, and transaction analytics engine, combined with in-memory processing for all analysis and correlation functions, add unparalleled scalability. Extremely flexible service modeling and policy management capabilities let VSA components easily scale as needed when adding new network device types, types of services, or service level agreements (SLAs).
