DAY 1
ECI Telecom, a global provider of elastic, next-
generation network solutions, has introduced
the first three apps in its LightApps suite.
LightConnect, LightTime and LightInsight
are engineered to enhance, optimize and expand
network performance. They are designed to integrate
smoothly with existing, as well as software-defined
networking (SDN) networks. All three apps are avail-
able for purchase and delivery through ECI’s sales
personnel and partners.
“LightApps offer a strategic way to maximize
the potential of current networks by adding better
visibility, automation and new service offerings,” said
Jimmy Mizrahi, head of ECI’s Portfolio Solutions.
“LightApps are a cornerstone of ECI’s elastic
network vision,” added Gali Malkiel, head of ECI’s
Software and SDN Applications Line of Business.
“Elastic networks scale and operate more efficiently
by using open, secure and vendor agnostic tech-
nology. The goal is to enable ECI clientele to quickly
adapt to the rapidly evolving market around them.
That means benefiting now from SDN applications
on the current installed base, as well as on future
SDN networks.”
These LightApps are available:
• LightConnect is ECI’s bandwidth-on-demand
application for providing dynamic services for
bursty applications. LightConnect provides
simple APIs for dynamic and fast service acti-
vation and can be used by either external
applications or the operational support system
(OSS) itself.
• LightTime is an application that enables
customers to schedule services in advance. Via
an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), Light-
Time enables service providers to book network
resources in advance and know the allocation will
commence as planned. LightTime enables the
network to handle temporary services efficiently
and shorten new service introduction.
• LightInsight, ECI’s network analytics applica-
tion, offers in-depth insights into network
resources and their utilization. By providing
a complete, 360-degree view of the network
inventory, service-level agreements (SLA)
and health, LightInsight’s resource dashboard
significantly improves planning and brings
better visibility of network resources and
customer SLAs. A full consolidated audit can be
performed within hours.
“The LightApps application suite offers a powerful
SDN solution both when used in combination or
stand alone,” Malkiel explained. “For example,
a company can use the analytics of LightInsight
to understand how applications are consuming
bandwidth and then use LightConnect to allocate
the bandwidth on an as needed basis. The result?
LightApps can reduce new service launch time from
months to weeks, even days; improve network utiliza-
tion by up to 60 percent and reduce time spent on
routine tasks by up to 20 percent.”
ECI’s LightApps suite also includes LightAction,
the network programming application that will offer
automated responses to network events.
In addition, LightWays, the traffic congestion
management application, will provide optimal traffic
flow by predicting and detecting patterns and then
offer the proper relief. Market launch of these apps is
expected soon. ❏
