AT&T plans to take the lion's share of the growing enterprise network outsourcing market using the Newbridge Global Services Management Platform (GSMP).
The increasing complexity of network services has many enterprises looking for help — fueling a fast growing market for professional managed services. As the world's premier communications and information services company, AT&T plans to grab a big slice of this new business.
AT&T Solutions will offer a suite of managed bandwidth services to thousands of enterprise customers that includes planning, design, implementation, operations, and business administration of their network services. The Newbridge GSMP is a key component in AT&T's bid to lead the managed network services market.
Designed for the global reach and scope of AT&T's managed bandwidth services, Newbridge GSMP integrates the full portfolio of Newbridge networking products under a fully featured service management system.
Including services such as private line, frame relay and ATM, GSMP enables AT&T to offer customers a full, end-to-end view of their global networks. Key parameters include configuration, network status, SLAs and performance reporting — as well as detailed visibility of network bandwidth resources down to the slot, card, or port level. Customers will have "an unprecedented on-line view of these services on a global basis," said Bill Callahan, Services Director, AT&T Managed Network Solutions.
Within the fast growing professional network service provider market, AT&T Solutions is setting the standard for all others to emulate. "By deploying Newbridge equipment and GSMP customized for AT&T, AT&T Managed Bandwidth Services offers the industry's most comprehensive suite of managed, end-to-end, reconfigurable bandwidth services," said Callahan.
