ProSphere, the umbrella name for a suite of powerful and easy to use network management applications, is a client server, platform independent, distributed system offering comprehensive support for integrated solutions from GDC.

ProSphere application support includes:

• Video-management and video conference scheduling
• Web-based remote clients in distributed client server architecture
• QFlow application for support of Quality of Service (QoS) for Ethernet enabled services over MPLS
• Performance monitoring to prevent network problems before outages occur
• End to end integrated network management solutions

Operating and maintaining wide area multiservice networks can be expensive. That is why any equipment added to the WAN should not exacerbate operational budgets. All of the Xedge devices mentioned in this overview are SNMP manageable, and a key platform to be used in the management of the Xedge network elements is ProSphere, a flexible and scaleable network management system.

ProSphere is an umbrella platform independent client server system that can communicate with various Xedge network elements via SNMP as well as automatically discover the same equipment. As a JAVA based application suite, ProSphere can visually display alarms occurring anywhere within this hybrid network simplifying remote monitoring via a web browser of mission critical networks. ProSphere takes the mystery out of complex multiservice networking by offering operational templates and point and click graphical operations. Simply put, ProSphere saves operators time and money.

Network operators are choosing Pseudowires technology as an enabler of converged service networks. As a major feature of GDCs Packet Cell Switch (PCx) technology, Pseudowires help customers transition multilayer legacy networks to packet switched networks. GDCs Pseudowire solutions with PCx drive CAPEX and OPEX down and provide a path to efficient network convergence. Operators can connect both legacy services (TDM, Frame Relay, IP, ATM) and emerging services (Ethernet, MPLS) across a packet network.

The GDC Pseudowires solution with PCx provides:

• Circuit emulation, i.e., TDM/ATM/Frame Relay Services over MPLS
• Metro-Ethernet Services over MPLS/VLAN/ATM
• Superior traffic management for delay sensitive applications (e.g., voice and video)

GDC Pseudowires conform to IETF pseudowire emulation edge to edge (PWE3) standards. The solution is available on any GDC6000 multiservice shelf with PCx installed. All existing services supported on the shelf can be transported across a WAN using Pseudowires.
