Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXTR) today announced Ridgeline™ Service Advisor, service management software designed to help carriers monetize their networks by enabling the strategic shift from reactive circuit monitoring to proactive service management. Extreme Networks® Ridgeline Service Advisor offers service providers a proactive approach to network operations that has the potential to accelerate revenue by accelerating the provisioning of new services, enhances subscriber experience through visual service monitoring, and increases network efficiency by simplifying service engineering. "The success of network operators’ efforts to monetize their networks depends on their ability to exploit two things; agile service creation, and operations economies of scale,” said Tom Nolle, CEO of CIMI Corp. “Those are the foundation for the best top-line revenue and the best bottom-line costs. Managing both in a world of mixed IP and Ethernet services is complex, and it requires a new approach. Extreme Networks Ridgeline is a ground-breaking layer-independent service management system that can integrate new and highly tactical IP services with economical Ethernet infrastructure, and at the same time manage the Ethernet-based services that enterprises will use increasingly as they embrace cloud computing."
