Hawkeye: Helping Carriers Monetize and Manage SD-WAN
解决方案概述
The shift to cloud and hybrid-based networks has not been particularly easy for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network carriers. Transitioning from MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) and lease line-based networks / services has brought a host of new challenges for network managers and integrators.
While SD-WAN offers significant cost savings for their clients, it also jeopardizes the carriers’ primary revenue streams. In response, many ISPs have begun offering turnkey SD-WAN services of their own. However, as with any managed service, performance monitoring is an essential and often overlooked part of the equation. Otherwise, monitoring and validating pre-established Service Level Agreements (SLAs) would be impossible.
Keysight’s Hawkeye provides carriers and integrators alike with a cost-effective way to manage, monitor, and monetize their SD-WAN deployments. An active network monitoring platform built to monitor the network edge, Hawkeye offers an array of capabilities to streamline deployment before rolling out, troubleshoot faster after going live, and recoup lost revenue streams with service assurance — including:
- architecture and design verification
- service level agreement (SLA) analysis
- quality of experience (QoE) metrics
- active performance analysis
- 24/7 link and circuit validation
- turnkey integrations with leading UC, VoIP, and video applications such as Microsoft Office 365, Zoom, MS Teams, and more
