- Ericsson Network Manager as a Service helps
operators with predictable total cost of ownership for network
management and enables an efficient network evolution

Network Manager system and maintained with the latest software

2017
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) launches its state of the
art Ericsson Network Manager in an "as a service" model to better
support operators in their journeys to virtualization,
software-defined networking and 5G network transformation.
Ericsson is accelerating "software as a service"
as a business and delivery model for networks and mission-critical
management systems. Ericsson Network Manager as a Service combines
latest IT cloud technologies together with decades of managed
hosting and managed services capabilities, operational knowledge
and global leadership.
Built with a new, highly scalable software
architecture, Ericsson Network Manager combines Element Management
System, Network Management System and Analytics functions. It
manages physical & virtual network functions across many
technologies (multiple Radio technologies, Core & IP) and
exposes them in a unified manner to operator's existing OSS
ecosystems.
Anders Lindblad, Head of Business Unit IT &
Cloud products, says: "Virtualization and software defined
networking is transforming the telecom networks and how they are
managed. Similar to the on premise Ericsson Network Manager, we
believe software as service is another excellent way of delivering
and consuming the network management features that brings
automation, agility and innovation. As the operators embark on this
NFV, SDN and 5G transformation journey, Ericsson Network Manager as
a service offers flexibility, and lower total cost of
ownership."
Larry Goldman, Partner and Head of Networks and
Software Research at Analysys Mason says: "Ericsson Network Manager
exemplifies Ericsson's longstanding leadership in managing tens of
thousands of nodes in Tier 1 operator radio, transport and core
networks. This as-a-service announcement is an expected, but
innovative evolution of Network Management and meets a key need for
operators seeking to gain greater benefits from internet models
that drive out cost, and improve customer experience."
There are now three options available for
operators to empower their network functions with Ericsson Network
Manager: native with software and hardware; software in customer
chosen cloud; and as service.
To drive the developing market and software as a
service throughout network solutions, Ericsson will work closely
with a select group of customers using Ericsson Network Manager as
a Service.
