Gen-E Delivers Solutions to Major Network Disruptions and Downtime
IRVINE, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2015 -- gen-E, a leading Service Assurance solutions company for Service Providers and companies with large, complex networks, commented today on reports of recent, widespread network outages across the southeastern United States. Along with other national and local news outlets, ABC News affiliate WKRN reported that six telecommunications carriers servicing Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and other states in the southeastern region of the United States were affected.
Spokespersons for the carriers identified hardware-related wireline network problems as the root cause of outages lasting five hours that affected tens of thousands of business and residential customers. Expert in delivering risk-reduction tools for industries highly dependent on large, networked critical systems, gen-E discussed the path to ensure uninterrupted service caused by myriad network connections complexities and disparate systems integration.
“As network management and multiple-carrier system integration becomes more common place, the industry risks deeper problems with carrier continuity,” said Christian Mack, gen-E CEO. “And if backhaul services provided by one or two local exchange providers are relied on by many wireless network carriers in an area, the daisy chain effect of downtime is magnified. It only takes one weak link in an interconnected network system to have widespread impact.”
“Importantly, network outages like those that recently affected multiple carriers in the southeastern region of the United States can have lasting effects on customer satisfaction and retention,” said Mack. “Service Providers can avoid lengthy outages with faster reports from real-time monitoring that allow them to pinpoint the root cause of issues before widespread and hours-long service disruption creates even longer-lasting customer problems. The frequency and length of outages due to internal hardware or software problems can be avoided with proactive monitoring of disparate systems,” he added.
“gen-E’s suite of product and service solutions, including our recently announced gen-E Ops Center, are designed to help companies manage complex integration plans between interdependent carriers, Wireline hardware-related network factors and complex wireless software integration. Our tools help customers manage and monitor new programs and services while ensuring that customer downtime is eliminated,” Mack stated.
