As DISH builds its smart network, the company has focused on
reliability from the very beginning. Verica’s Continuous
Verification Platform, including its out-of the box Kubernetes and
Kafka verifications, proactively tests safety margins in a system
before they disrupt business, making it a fitting platform to help
DISH prioritize network reliability.
“Providing reliable, high-quality service is important to most
companies, but for DISH, it is key to their success and is a core
value,” said Casey Rosenthal, co-founder & CEO of Verica. “We
knew DISH possessed similar values to our own company and it was
logical for us to partner. Verica is able to provide a platform
that helps to identify the safety margin in today’s complex IT
systems before an outage occurs.”
This partnership allows DISH to operate at optimum reliability
and provide customers with the best 5G network available. Verica
delivers a crucial tool in helping DISH engineers know the limits
of the network — and software behind the network, — as well as how
to make improvements before an outage incident.
“Verica essentially helps us test and verify our platform layer
as well as everything on top through chaos engineering. These tests
allow us to see how edge conditions affect performance and
reliability,” said Marc Rouanne, executive vice president and chief
network officer, DISH Wireless. “By leveraging Verica’s CVP tooling
and philosophy, DISH can deliver on our ambitious reliability and
availability goals as we continue to accelerate innovation.”
Verica’s platform is licensed by DISH for Kubernetes and Kafka
and works autonomously while DISH engineers build and run the
nation’s first Smart Network™.
“Our work with DISH is rooted in reliability and transparency,”
said Aaron Rinehart, co-founder & CTO of Verica. “They
understand the value in working with our offerings and see the
opportunity we provide to offer stability at speed and scale, which
is critical to a private 5G network.”
